Lath and Plaster Ceiling Stabilisation
Loose ceilings are re-secured with plaster washers, or boarded over on strapping when they are beyond saving. We explain the choice before we start. See ceiling repair.
Kingston Drywall repairs plaster and installs drywall in Brockville and across Leeds and Grenville. We work for owners of heritage homes, renovators, landlords and downtown businesses.
Brockville is about an hour east of our Kingston base on Highway 401, so we focus on plaster restoration, skim coating and full-room projects that justify the trip. Our crew brings more than 20 years of plaster and drywall experience.
We are licensed, insured and WSIB covered. In older homes we protect original floors and trim as carefully as the walls we repair.
Brockville's core is full of 19th-century stone and brick houses, many built when the town was a busy river port and rail hub. Inside, most of them still have lath and plaster.
So our work here leans toward plaster repair, skim coating and boarding over failing lath, rather than new installation. That makes this page very different from our other town pages, and that is the point.

For owners who want smooth walls without losing the building. A bonding coat and skim coats over sound plaster give a flat, modern surface. See taping and finishing.
Plaster walls are thicker than drywall. We shim and strap new walls so the two surfaces meet flush at the joint.
King Street retail spaces and upper-floor office conversions, where old walls and modern partitions have to work together.
Old roofs leak at chimneys, valleys and flat sections. Once the roof is fixed, we repair the plaster or board below. See drywall repair.

Original baseboards and casings are removed carefully, numbered and reinstalled. Original floors are covered and dust is contained so it does not settle into old finishes.
Sometimes the right answer is a traditional plasterer rather than a drywall crew, for example on lime-plaster restoration or a full ornamental ceiling. When that is the case, we will tell you.
For most cracked, loose and patched walls, our plaster repair approach is the right fit.
We work in Brockville, Prescott, Athens, Mallorytown, Lyn and Elizabethtown-Kitley on projects that make the trip worthwhile.
Our coverage overlaps with the Thousand Islands to the west, so see our Gananoque page for that area.
Send photos of the walls or ceilings and tell us about the house. We will set up an assessment visit and follow up with a written quote.
