How we approach drywall & plaster repair in Ottawa
A crack over a doorway in an older Ottawa home is rarely just a crack. Original lath-and-plaster walls move with the seasonal humidity swing that Ottawa's continental climate puts every house through, and a drywall-only repair skims over the symptom without addressing the lath movement underneath — the crack comes back within a year. We match repair method to wall type: plaster keying and compatible compound on older builds, standard mud-and-tape on newer drywall, and texture-matching on either so the patch doesn't read as a patch under raking light.
