Remodeling in Salt Lake City.

Bathroom remodeling in Salt Lake City older homes often means working within a small existing footprint, since these houses typically weren't built with large bathrooms to begin with. Basements in this housing stock can be low ceiling and partially below grade, which affects how framing and finishing plans come together.

Because plaster and older drywall in these homes doesn't always match modern materials, our drywall and painting work in Salt Lake City often includes patching and blending old and new surfaces rather than a full teardown.

Drywall Installation and Repair in Salt Lake City

Drywall work in Salt Lake City's older neighborhoods is a different trade than hanging board in a new subdivision. Many homes here were built in the early to mid 1900s with plaster over lath, and plaster does not behave like drywall. It is thicker, it cracks along its own lines, and it sits at a different depth than a modern sheet, so a patch that is flush at the edges can still read as a patch across the room.

The work that matters is the blending. Furring the new board out to meet the existing wall thickness, feathering the joint wide instead of tight, and matching the surrounding texture and sheen are what make a repair disappear. Full teardown is rarely the right answer in these houses, since the original walls are usually sound where they have not been disturbed.

Most Salt Lake City drywall calls come attached to something else, a bathroom remodel, a basement, or a room that just needs to be painted properly. In every case the wall surface is the thing that decides whether the finished room looks right, so it gets handled before paint, not after.
