  • Number of outside corners and openings

Before you hire in Richmond

Pre-war construction

25% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1980 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Richmond building department before work starts.

It depends on the product, humidity and temperature. Setting-type compounds harden faster, while premixed compounds dry more slowly in cool, damp basements.
Usually because joints were not feathered wide enough or the wall was not primed before paint. A skim coat or extra coats can fix it.
