Drywall in Boston: what to know
Many Boston homes still have original plaster and lath, so repairs often mean blending new drywall into uneven walls after ice dams or burst pipes soak ceilings. Late winter and early spring bring a wave of water damage fixes once leaks reveal themselves. Soundproofing between triple-decker units is a frequent request, and opening walls in older homes can disturb lead paint or asbestos-era materials, so testing and a city building permit may be required for larger jobs.
