What drywall repair in Downtown & Old Market actually involves
Downtown & Old Market is largely pre-1930, with later loft conversions. Expect warehouse lofts, mid-rise condos and a few surviving rowhouses. That housing stock is what decides how a drywall repair job gets scoped, quoted and done, and it is why a pro who works these blocks gives you a different answer than a call center does.
- These walls are plaster over lath. The right repair is a plaster patch or skim coat, and a drywall-only crew will leave you a visible seam.
- Original plaster, especially with ornamental detail, is worth restoring rather than replacing with drywall.
