Protecting Norfolk's Porous Historic Plaster and Managing Coastal Moisture
Working in Norfolk’s turn-of-the-century neighborhoods like Ghent, Larchmont, and Colonial Place requires extra protection protocols. Homes built in these districts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries frequently feature textured lath-and-plaster walls. Unlike modern drywall, old plaster is highly porous and acts like a magnet for fine wood dust during floor sanding, making cleanup incredibly difficult. Our advanced HEPA-filtered dustless sanding is critical to protect your historic plaster walls, crown moldings, and detailed built-ins. Additionally, properties in flood-prone areas near the Lafayette River or Ocean View require precise subfloor sealing and moisture mitigation before any installation can safely begin.
