Plaster-and-lath transitions

About Ridgewood
Ridgewood homes have a specific contractor need.
Ridgewood is one of the older towns in Bergen County, with deep stock of pre-1970 homes around the train station, the West Side, and the Willard neighborhood. Plaster-and-lath transitions, settlement cracks, and 2nd-floor water-damage repairs are common. We work in Ridgewood weekly and most repairs are scheduled inside 2–4 business days.
Housing stock: Older housing stock (pre-1970), plaster-and-lath original construction with drywall additions, high owner-occupancy.
Most of our Ridgewood work is drywall and plaster repair on the plaster-and-lath transitions common in pre-1970 homes, interior painting that respects original trim profiles, and full bathroom remodels on older homes where full demos are typical. Layout-change kitchen remodels (opening Colonials to the dining room) are also common. Premium whole-home repaints frequently bundle drywall, paint, and floor work as one project.

Bathroom Remodeling in Ridgewood, NJ
Bathroom remodeling in Ridgewood, NJ typically involves a full down-to-studs demo because the housing stock (mostly pre-1970, with substantial pre-1940 inventory) has original cast-iron tubs, plaster-and-lath walls, and 1950s-era plumbing rough-ins that all need replacement together. A standard full Ridgewood bathroom remodel runs $22,000–$45,000 and takes 3–4 weeks of active work.

Ceiling cracks from settlement
