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.
