Drywall Contractor in Island Heights, NJ
Toms River Drywall serves Island Heights, NJ, a small borough on the Toms River with many older houses finished in plaster.
Plaster walls in older houses
Many older Island Heights houses, especially in the borough's historic district, were finished in plaster over wood lath rather than drywall. The repair respects that: loose plaster reattached with washers where it can be saved, and replacement sections shimmed to the original thickness so old trim still sits right.
Choosing between restoration and overlay
Not every old plaster ceiling is worth saving. Where a ceiling has failed across most of its area, new board fastened through the plaster into the joists, with the edges taped and the crown kept, gives a stable surface without gutting the room. You get both options with their trade-offs, and the house and the owner decide.
Lath ceiling replacements
Failed plaster ceilings taken down or overlaid, finished smooth.
Quiet patches in old rooms
Modern repairs blended so they do not stand out against old surfaces.
