Drywall Work in the Greater Hartford Market
The towns and neighborhoods here are not interchangeable, and neither is the drywall and plaster work they need.
The city’s older neighborhoods, Frog Hollow, the West End, Asylum Hill, Parkville, and Barry Square, are full of pre-1940 homes built in plaster over wood lath, where a “drywall repair” is really a plaster question: whether to stabilize and skim what is there or convert it to board. The Connecticut River towns of Wethersfield, Windsor, and East Hartford carry their own repair patterns from spring high water and old below-grade basements. The inner-ring suburbs, West Hartford, Newington, Glastonbury, Farmington, Avon, and Bloomfield, mix pre-war stock with additions and finished basements, and the city’s dense multi-family blocks and downtown office-to-apartment conversions turn over on a calendar all their own.
