Ceiling drywall and finishing in Yonkers, NY keeps our crews busy across one of the largest older housing stocks in Westchester, and Mount Vernon Drywall Co. handles all of it. Yonkers is full of pre-war apartments, two-family homes, and older houses with plaster ceilings that crack and sag with age. We re-secure the loose plaster, rebuild what has failed, and skim the plane flat. Ceilings are the one surface we specialize in, and that focus shows in a Yonkers home.
Yonkers is Westchester's largest city, with a deep and largely older housing stock of pre-war apartment buildings, two- and three-family homes, and single-family houses built decades ago. A great many of these carry original plaster-and-lath ceilings that have cracked, sagged, and been painted over many times. The sheer volume of aging overhead work here is why our crews know it cold.
A Yonkers pre-war ceiling has usually been painted a dozen times and patched badly at least once. We strip back the failed repairs, re-anchor the plaster that is still holding, and skim over the field so the ceiling is finally flat instead of a map of old patchwork.
In Yonkers two- and three-family homes, ceiling work happens with people living directly above or below. We seal the room, run HEPA sanders, and protect the path in and out so overhead dust does not spread through the building.
When a Yonkers ceiling is sagging, we find the cause first. Loose plaster gets re-secured to the joists with washers, and a field that is too far gone gets replaced with 5/8 inch sag-resistant board rated to span the framing without bowing again.
