The work requires an understanding of the building's original construction — often lath and plaster systems from the early 1900s — and the specific challenges of Newark's older housing stock. Many homes in the city still have original horsehair plaster, which is different from modern drywall in both texture and behavior. A proper repair starts with assessing the underlying cause: water damage from a leaking roof, settling that has created stress cracks, or simple wear around doors and windows. The process begins by removing loose or crumbling plaster, cleaning the lath (the wooden strips behind the plaster), and applying a bonding agent to ensure the new material adheres. Then we apply multiple coats of plaster, letting each one cure before the next, and finish with a smooth or textured surface that matches the existing wall. For Newark properties, this is especially important because original plaster adds character and value, but improper repairs — like using joint compound on top of old plaster — can lead to further cracking or peeling within months. Why does this matter for Newark? The city's architecture includes Victorian rowhouses, early 20th-century apartment buildings, and mid-century homes, each with its own plaster system. If you live in a historic district, such as the Forest Hill or James Street Commons, preserving the original plaster is often a requirement for maintaining the building's integrity. Even in non-historic areas, poorly repaired plaster can cause issues like drafts, noise transfer, and pest entry points. The repair process also addresses the possibility of lead paint or asbestos in older plaster, which requires careful handling and disposal. By focusing on the specific materials and techniques used in Newark's buildings, we ensure that the repair lasts and that the finished wall looks like it belongs in the space — not like a patchwork. This is why we take the time to match the original texture, whether it's a smooth finish, a sand finish, or an ornamental pattern. ## Areas We Cover in Newark We provide plaster repair services throughout Newark, including neighborhoods like East Ferry, Hutton Park, Teachers Village, and University Heights.
