Your interior walls are the most important part of your house. They're what visitors first see when they walk in, and it's what you see last when you walk out. Poorly plastered walls are an eyesore: they're ugly. Also, interior walls play a vital role in insulating your home. This is very important in a place like Chicago, where the weather goes from one extreme to the other. Having good walls, then, is essential to having a good house.
Like everything, walls fall into disrepair and need occasional maintenance. Water damage is bound to happen, at some point, no matter how careful you are. Damp patches, which usually form in your ceiling around window and door openings, need to be repaired immediately as harmful mold develops and your ceiling's structure is weakened. Wear and tear from daily use occurs. Walls naturally become cracked, as plaster dries, doors slam, knocks occur, and everyday movement around the house takes place. Plaster must be constantly maintained. It's messy and not easy for those not experienced with home repair to work with. Those who try plastering their own walls, often make more of a mess than a repair.
Lots of homeowners attempt to make these repairs themselves. But, unless they have the experience and knowledge to identify which walls are partitions (walls that divide room from room) and which ones are structural (walls that hold up your house), they risk the danger of causing more damage than good. What is worse, many end up injuring themselves when interior structures collapse around them because they did not first distinguish structural walls from partitions that they were trying to repair. At A-1 PAM, we know how to identify which walls are which; which walls can and cannot be drilled into or have holes cut in them. By examining how the ceiling and floor joists are set, and how the floorboards run, we know the exact way to begin proper repairs.
