Plaster with a history
Tell us about cracks that return, hollow-sounding spots or earlier moisture. Surface preparation should respond to the actual condition rather than hide every concern under paint.
NDG & Westmount
Respect for old plaster, original trim and the way you live.
NDG and Westmount homes can combine beautiful original details with surfaces that need a patient approach. Jacobs Renovation provides residential painting and general handyman work for condos, plexes and houses, from small room updates to broader interior refreshes.

Local project planning
Preparation that respects the character of older interiors
In older NDG and Westmount properties, plaster, wood trim and previous layers of paint are part of the home's character. They also need to be assessed as they are today. A hairline crack, a soft old patch or uneven trim can change the preparation required before a new finish goes on.
Plaster should not be treated exactly like a new drywall surface. Note recurring cracks, loose areas or previous water damage in your estimate request, and avoid assuming that a cosmetic coat will resolve an underlying issue. Clear photos in natural light are especially useful.
Original baseboards, casings and doors often reward careful sanding and a thoughtful choice of sheen. Decide whether your goal is a crisp contrast with the walls or a softer, coordinated palette. We can discuss the surfaces and finish you want as part of the free estimate.
Detailed doors and woodwork
Older profiles and edges need clean preparation and deliberate finish choices. Include trim and doors in your room list if you want a coherent final result.
Condos, plexes and shared spaces
Mention stairs, elevator bookings, parking or building access requirements early. These logistics affect how an interior project is organized.
Residential services for NDG and Westmount homes
Our main service is interior residential painting, including walls, ceilings, trim and doors. General handyman work covers suitable minor repairs and finishing items, while deck repair and staining helps care for exterior wood when the season allows.

Do you paint older plaster walls in NDG and Westmount?
Yes, you can request an estimate for plaster wall painting. Tell us about cracks, previous repairs and any known moisture history so the surface condition can be considered.
Can you work in a condo or plex?
Yes. Include your property type and any access, elevator or building requirements in your request so they can be discussed during planning.
Should trim be included in the same project?
It can be. Painting walls and trim together often creates a more complete refresh, but the choice is yours. List each surface you want included in the estimate.
