Interior work in a protected streetscape
Island Heights grew from an 1878 Methodist camp meeting into a borough of Queen Anne, Shingle Style, and Gothic Revival houses, listed on the National Register in 1982. Inside those walls is lath and plaster, not drywall, and the correct repair respects that: loose plaster reattached with washers where it can be saved, and replacement sections shimmed to the original thickness so century-old trim still sits right.
Choosing between restoration and overlay
Not every plaster ceiling in a Victorian deserves heroic rescue. Where a ceiling has failed broadly, boarding over the plaster into the joists, with the perimeter transition taped and the crown detail preserved, gives a stable modern surface without gutting the room. We lay out both paths, with their costs and their trade-offs, and let the house and the owner decide.
Lath ceiling replacements
Failed plaster lids taken down or overlaid, finished smooth.
Quiet patches in old rooms
Modern repairs blended so they do not argue with 1880s surfaces.
