Ceilings in Manchester, NH
Stains, sags, cracks and old texture
Ceilings are harder than walls and less forgiving. Gravity works against everything you apply, light from a window travels across them at exactly the angle that reveals a bad joint, and in this climate they take the brunt of what the roof does in February. Almost every ceiling call in Manchester turns out to be one of four things.
A stain that appeared over the winter
Nine times in ten this is ice at the eave rather than plumbing, and the ceiling is the symptom rather than the problem. Start at a brown stain on the ceiling, which covers how to tell the two apart and when the board can simply be sealed.
It is no longer flat
A gentle wave usually means fasteners have let go; a defined bow in an older house usually means plaster has separated from its lath, and that one is worth attention quickly. Both are covered in a ceiling that sags.
Cracks, holes and old texture
A straight crack where the ceiling meets a wall is often seasonal movement in the roof structure rather than damage — see nail pops for why that line reopens. Holes left by light fittings and bath fans are ordinary patch work. And if the problem is simply that the ceiling is textured and you have had enough of it, popcorn removal is a day per room.
