Remodeling & Drywall Contractor in Hartford, CT

Work sized for Hartford's housing — century-old plaster walls, multi-family buildings, and turnovers that have to be finished before the next tenant moves in.

Local Craftsmanship

Your Hartford Remodeling Team

Hartford's housing is older than most of what surrounds it, and that changes the job. Behind the paint in a good part of the city there is plaster over wood lath, not drywall — a different material that fails in its own way and gets ruined by anyone who patches it like modern board. A lot of the city's buildings are also multi-family, which means work happens with neighbours above and below and a schedule that cannot slip.

Tico's works throughout Hartford for homeowners, landlords and property managers. Plaster repair and skim coating in the older neighbourhoods, full drywall in renovated units, and turnover work — patch, paint, floors — on the timeline a vacancy actually allows, because an empty unit costs rent every week it stays empty.

Working in the city has its own logistics, and we plan around them rather than discovering them. Parking on a narrow street, getting materials up three flights, coordinating access to a unit whose tenant works days — none of that is complicated, but ignoring it is how a two-day job turns into a week.

Serving all Hartford neighbourhoods, plus West Hartford, East Hartford, Newington, Wethersfield, Bloomfield and Windsor.

What We See Most in Hartford Homes

  • Plaster that has lost its key to the lath and sounds hollow when tapped
  • Ceiling stains and soft drywall from a leak in the unit above
  • Turnover damage — anchor holes, doorknob dents, scuffed hallways
  • Bathrooms and kitchens built to 1920s dimensions that need rethinking, not just refinishing
  • Trim and windows painted shut over decades of repainting
  • Basement and stairwell walls that have never been properly finished
Common Questions

Working in Hartford

Do you work on multi-family buildings and rentals?

Yes — a good part of our Hartford work is rental turnover for landlords and property managers. Patch, paint and floors between tenants, scheduled around the vacancy rather than our convenience, because every extra week empty is rent lost.

My walls are plaster, not drywall. Can you repair them?

Yes, and it matters that they are treated as plaster. A lot of Hartford housing predates drywall, with plaster over wood lath behind the paint. Patched like modern board it fails again within a season; repaired and keyed back properly it holds.

How do you handle work in an occupied apartment building?

We contain dust at the door, keep the common stairs and halls clear, and work hours that do not put a sander against a shared wall at seven in the morning. Neighbours above and below are part of the job.
