Plaster Ceiling Stabilisation
Loose ceilings are re-secured with plaster washers, or boarded over on strapping when beyond saving. See ceiling repair.
Serving Brockville and Leeds and Grenville
Drywall and Plaster Contractor in Brockville, Ontario
Kingston Drywall Pros 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 grew as a 19th-century river port and rail town; it is home to Canada's first railway tunnel, opened in 1860. Its core is dense with stone and brick houses from that era, and most still have lath and plaster inside.
The city 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.

Local rules
Permits and Heritage Rules in Brockville
Building permits inside the city come from the City of Brockville, while surrounding communities such as Elizabethtown-Kitley, Athens and Prescott each have their own municipal office. Interior renovations with new walls or plumbing generally need a permit.
Many downtown buildings are heritage designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. We check designation before starting work on any older property.
Project types
Our Brockville Project Types
Brockville work leans toward plaster, with five recurring kinds of project.
Skim Coating Old Walls
A bonding coat and skim coats over sound plaster give a flat, modern surface without losing the building. See taping and finishing.
Additions Tied Into Plaster
Plaster walls are thicker than drywall, so we shim and strap new walls to meet the old surface flush at the joint.
Downtown Commercial Interiors
King Street retail spaces and upper-floor office conversions, where old walls and modern partitions have to work together.
Water Damage Under Older Roofs
Old roofs leak at chimneys, valleys and flat sections. Once the roof is fixed, we repair the plaster or board below; see drywall repair.

Heritage care
How We Work in a Heritage Property
We protect heritage interiors by removing original trim carefully, numbering every piece and reinstalling it after the repair. 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 lime-plaster restoration or a full ornamental ceiling, and we will tell you when that is the case. For most cracked, loose and patched walls, our plaster repair approach is the right fit.
Local conditions
How the St. Lawrence Affects Brockville Interiors
Brockville sits right on the St. Lawrence River, and waterfront and downtown homes see damp springs and humid summers. Old masonry walls hold that moisture, and plaster on exterior walls is often the first to crack or loosen.
We check exterior walls for dampness before repairing plaster on them, because patching over a wet wall only lasts until the next season.
