Plaster repair in Navarre, OH
Historic plaster repair in Navarre from a Canton-based crew: published pricing, matched materials, test patches first. Call (330) 919-7626 or send the form below.
Navarre is a canal village that kept its bones: the Market Street core and the blocks toward the Tuscarawas hold 1830s-to-1900s buildings, and the township around it is dotted with farmhouses of the same vintage. Original walls here are lath and plaster without exception, much of it early lime work, and the village scale means every house has a story and most have at least one ceiling with a history. This is exactly the housing stock our trade exists for, and it has had no dedicated plaster service within reach for years.
Canton Plaster Repair covers Navarre from twenty minutes north. Village work runs to the classic list: stair-hall cracks from a century of traffic, kitchen ceilings that survived generations of steam, and parlor walls where past patches need to be done again, properly this time. The farmhouse side adds bigger ceilings, plank-lath quirks, and the occasional summer-kitchen wall that has been holding on since Lincoln. Materials get matched to age, lime-compatible for the old work, and every repair is priced from the published table on our cost page.
For small jobs, Navarre batches beautifully with our Massillon and Canal Fulton routes; a crack list and a ceiling assessment often share one trip, which keeps village-scale repairs affordable.
The one-joist sag
Farmhouse ceilings south of the river often sag along one line rather than in a belly. That usually means a single joist has moved, not that the plaster is failing everywhere: the fix is stabilization along the line after the framing is checked. Do not let anyone talk you into tearing out a whole ceiling for a one-joist problem.
Navarre village and township
Regular stops include the Market Street core, Canal Street’s village blocks, the Rochester Square area, the township farmhouses south of the river, covering ZIP 44662. If your walls are near those, the crew has probably already worked your street.

Village and farmhouse questions
Do you take small village jobs in Navarre?
Yes, gladly. Navarre rides with our western route days, so a single ceiling assessment or a short crack list shares the trip with nearby work. Small repairs price off the same published table: crack areas $250 to $650, ceiling stabilization $600 to $1,500.
Our farmhouse has plaster on wide boards, not thin lath. Is that repairable?
Yes. Plank and accordion lath show up in the county’s oldest buildings, and they hold plaster differently: fewer, bigger keys. Stabilization uses more washers on a tighter pattern, and patches get keyed carefully into the gaps. It is slower than standard lath work and we price it honestly after a look.
The previous owner painted over water stains. How do I know what is underneath?
Push gently and look raking down the surface with a flashlight. Tight, hard field with old stains sealed under paint is history, not a problem. Softness, flexing, or fresh hairline cracking through the new paint means active trouble. We check suspect ceilings as part of any Navarre estimate, no charge for the flashlight.
Can you match the old wavy wall look after a repair?
Yes, and in an 1800s room we insist on it. A dead-flat patch in a hand-troweled wall shouts. We float patches to follow the original surface and finish them to the room’s texture, then show you the test patch before the full repair.
