MASTER PLASTER CRAFTSMEN FOR ALEXANDRIA HOMES
Alexandria's historic districts contain some of Northern Virginia's most treasured architecture. The Federal townhomes of Old Town, with their characteristic high ceilings and formal proportions, often retain original lime plaster from the 18th and early 19th centuries. These walls represent irreplaceable craftsmanship that deserves preservation rather than replacement.
JMK Builders specializes in the repair and restoration of historic plaster throughout Alexandria. We've worked on properties along Cameron Street near the waterfront, rescued ornamental ceilings in Rosemont's Victorian homes, and stabilized walls in Del Ray bungalows built when the neighborhood was Alexandria's first suburb.
Our approach prioritizes conservation. When other contractors might recommend tearing out and replacing, we assess whether repair is feasible. Original plaster provides superior soundproofing, fire resistance, and character that modern materials simply cannot replicate.
