Monticello may be the best-preserved small town in North Florida — a courthouse modeled on Jefferson's rotunda, streets of antebellum and Victorian homes, and a community that takes its architecture personally. Walls in houses like these are part of the historic fabric, and Tallahassee Drywall treats them that way: plaster repaired as plaster, finishes matched to their era, and honest guidance when a surface is past saving.

Working on History Without Wrecking It
Monticello's finest houses predate drywall by half a century, and their lime plaster behaves nothing like modern board — it's harder, older, and attached to hand-split lath that deserves gentle treatment. We repair cracks with compatible materials, reattach loose sections where practical, and skim coat tired rooms whole. Where a previous owner already replaced sections with drywall (very common), we blend the two systems so the wall reads as one continuous, era-appropriate surface. Original crown, medallions, and heart-pine trim get protected like the irreplaceable details they are.

Beyond the historic district, Jefferson County is farm and acreage country — and we cover it: farmhouse repairs, workshop and outbuilding interiors, and storm-damage restoration with the moisture discipline this climate demands.
