Drywall for homes in Ritchie

Older cottages and bungalows are being joined by a wave of new infill houses and garden suites.

Older homes are usually lath and plaster, which cracks as the house settles. Repairs need a different approach than drywall, and some owners skim-coat or re-board whole rooms.

Infill homes and garden suites need drywall that meets fire separation rules between units.

Boarding the inside of a detached garage makes it easier to heat and keeps dust down.

Older finished basements often have water stains or dents, and spot repairs keep them looking new.
