Should I repair my old plaster or replace it with drywall?

If it's mostly sound — solidly attached, cracking only at stress points — repair and skim coating preserve the character at a fraction of replacement cost. If it's loose or you're rewiring anyway, replacement makes sense. We assess honestly, wall by wall.

Do you work around antiques and full rooms?

Carefully, yes — masking, sealed containment, and daily cleanup are standard, and we'll help you plan which pieces actually need to move. Protecting the contents is part of the job.

Is there a travel charge to Havana?

No — Havana is standard service area, an easy run up 27. Same pricing as Tallahassee, free written estimates.

Can you skim coat walls that have been wallpapered for decades?

Yes — once the paper is off (or sealed where sound), we skim, sand, and prime the walls back to smooth. It's one of the most transformative projects in a century home.

Havana turned its history into its livelihood — the old tobacco town's brick storefronts now anchor one of the region's best antique districts, and the neighborhoods around them keep century homes in loving use. Houses like that deserve wall work with a light touch. Tallahassee Drywall serves Havana with plaster-aware repairs for the old stock, modern work for the newer streets, and honest advice about which is which.

Century Homes Need a Careful Hand

The plaster in Havana's older homes has carried a hundred years of paint and weather, and most of it is still worth saving. Our approach is preservation-minded: repair and re-key what's sound, skim coat what's rough, and when a wall or ceiling is genuinely done, overlay with thin drywall or replace — explained plainly and priced honestly. The heart-pine trim in these houses makes careless demolition expensive; we work so we don't create the next repair.

Storefronts & Small Business Spaces

Havana's commercial district works hard on weekends, and we schedule around that — repairing, refreshing, and building out shop and gallery interiors on weekday timelines, with dust contained well away from the merchandise.
