Bon Air began as a Victorian resort village, and its historic core still shows it — gabled cottages and turn-of-the-century homes threaded among the mid-century ranches and colonials that filled in the neighborhood later. That mix makes Bon Air one of the most interesting places we work: a single street can hold true plaster-and-lath walls, 1950s rock lath, and modern drywall. Richmond Drywall brings the right approach to each.
Drywall Services in Bon Air
Drywall Repair
Cracks, holes, and old failed patches repaired with materials matched to your home's era — plaster or drywall.
Finishing & Texturing
Skim coating that erases a century of paint layers and patchwork while keeping the character of the house.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Bon Air's mid-century homes are prime candidates — textured ceilings scraped and refinished smooth.
Water Damage Repair
Older roofs and original plumbing eventually leak; we restore the ceilings and walls seamlessly.
Drywall Installation
Additions, attic finishes, and drywall overlays where old plaster is past saving.
Framing
Sensitive reconfigurations — closets, baths, kitchens — framed to fit older structures.
Old Walls Deserve Careful Hands
In a historic Bon Air cottage, the wrong repair is worse than no repair — a modern patch screwed into a plaster wall leaves a visible dish, and aggressive demolition destroys detail that can't be replaced. Our older-home work starts with matching what's there: thickness, plane, and surface character. Cosmetically cracked plaster gets keyed repairs and skim coats; failed sections get replaced flush; and when a whole wall is too far gone, we'll show you what an overlay or replacement really costs before anything is opened up.
Mid-Century Bon Air, Too
Most of the neighborhood is 1950s–70s stock, and it gets the classic treatments: popcorn ceiling removal, whole-room skim coats, crack and nail-pop repair, and water-stain restoration under aging roofs. If you're refreshing a Bon Air ranch before selling or settling in, a drywall pass before painting is the highest-leverage step in the project.
