What we do in White River Junction
Horsth Plastering covers White River Junction, Vermont from our base in White River Junction. We handle the whole interior surface, insulation in the cavity, board on the studs, plaster or skim coat over it, and the decorative lime finishes on top.
On older houses here that usually means repair work: cracks, water damage, ceilings that have started to sag, and patches from previous owners that never matched. On new construction and additions it means insulation and walls flat enough that a painter can work with them straight away.
The houses in White River Junction
White River Junction is a railroad village, so the housing came in layers. There is brick and wood downtown with original plaster on wood lath, mill era workers houses up the hillsides, post war ranches out toward the interstate, and newer construction and conversions around the old rail yard. Each layer fails differently. Downtown it is settlement cracks and ceilings that have taken a roof leak. On the hillside houses it is plaster that has let go of the lath in patches. Out on the newer end it is drywall, insulation and a finish flat enough for the painter.
Being based here is the practical part. We can look at a wall on the way back from another job, and when a repair turns out to be bigger than it looked we can come back the next morning instead of the next week.
