Introduction
When walls begin to crack or crumble around old fixtures like air conditioners, it’s a clear sign that the plaster has weakened over time. At Artistic Pro G.C. Corp., we recently completed a plaster repair and reinsulation project in the Bronx, NY, where damaged lath and poor insulation were compromising both appearance and energy efficiency.
The Challenge
This project began with a heavily damaged wall surrounding an old window air conditioner unit.The original plaster had cracked, exposing the wooden lath beneath — a common problem in older homes. The wall not only looked unsightly but also allowed air leaks, making the room harder to heat or cool.
Our Solution
Our team removed the loose plaster carefully to expose the full damaged section.We then:
Reinsulated the cavity behind the wall for better temperature control.
Repaired and sealed the wood lath to create a solid base.
Applied new layers of plaster, smoothing and refining the surface for a seamless, durable finish.
Primed and prepared the wall for fresh paint, ensuring long-term durability and beauty.
Before and After Results
The transformation speaks for itself — the once cracked and uneven wall is now smooth, solid, and fully insulated.Our clients were impressed by how quickly the space felt more comfortable and energy-efficient, proving that professional plaster repair can make a major difference in both comfort and aesthetics.
