Home repair in Parkville, MD
Parkville is brick rowhomes and small cottages from the 1940s and 1950s along Harford Road and Putty Hill, with ranchers in Carney and Hillendale from the 1960s. Plaster walls, cast iron, original wood windows in some, and basements that were finished with paneling in the 1970s and are getting drywall now.
Or call or text (240) 858-0149. Hours 8 to 6, Monday through Saturday.
Rowhome plaster along Harford Road
Drywall and plaster is the number one call in Parkville, which matches the search data. A plaster ceiling that sagged, a basement paneling job coming out, a hole from a doorknob, and the cracks along the party wall in a rowhome. We patch, skim and prime so the repair disappears under paint.
Parkville rowhomes have a plaster ceiling on wood lath in the front room, and the sag near the party wall is the plaster losing its key. We screw it back with plaster washers and skim, which saves the ceiling for a fraction of a new one.

Parkville owners ask
- Can you save a sagging plaster ceiling?
- Usually. Plaster washers pull it back to the lath, then a skim coat. Only a ceiling that has lost its key over most of the room comes down.
- Do you take out 1970s basement paneling and drywall it?
- Yes. We pull the paneling, check the block for moisture, hang and finish drywall, and prime.
- Is a rowhome party wall crack a problem?
- Usually not structural. The two houses move a little differently. We fill with a flexible compound and mesh so the crack has somewhere to go.
