Wall restoration
What it is
More than a patch — a proper repair
Wall restoration is rarely just filling a hole. It is diagnosing why the wall failed, re-securing loose plaster to the lath, matching the original profile and texture, and finishing it so the repair blends seamlessly. In a high-end or historic home, an invisible repair preserves the very character you are trying to protect.

Signs to watch for
When a wall needs professional restoration
Spongy or hollow plaster
If the wall flexes or sounds hollow, the plaster has separated from the lath and must be re-secured before any surface repair will last.
Stains & crumbling
Brown or yellow staining signals water intrusion; powdery, crumbling plaster has deteriorated beyond a simple patch.
Good to know
Wall restoration — common questions
Yes. We restore both plaster and drywall. Plaster repair often involves re-securing the plaster to the lath, bridging cracks properly, and matching the original texture — work that takes the right materials and an experienced hand, which is why amateur patches so often fail.
Done correctly, no. The goal of wall restoration is an invisible repair — we feather and texture-match the new work so it blends into the surrounding wall and disappears under light. For larger areas we may skim coat the wall for a perfectly uniform surface.
Painting over a stain without sealing it and addressing the source guarantees it will bleed back through. We seal the stain, restore any damaged material, and only then refinish — so the repair lasts.
