Stairwells and hallways in Manchester, NH
The narrow places everything hits
In a three-storey wooden multifamily the stairwell is the busiest surface in the building and the hardest to work on — two storeys of open height, no floor to stand on for half of it, and a hundred years of furniture that has been carried up it.
Why it costs more than it looks like it should
Nothing about a stairwell is standard. Staging has to be built over the treads to reach the upper wall safely, which takes time before any repair starts, and the same square footage of wall takes appreciably longer than it would in a bedroom. It is worth batching every mark in the stairwell into one visit for exactly that reason.
Corners that keep losing
The corner at the turn of the stairs will be damaged again. After the second repair the sensible answer is usually a corner guard rather than a third — see dented corners — particularly in a rental where the next tenant will move a sofa up the same stairs.
Old plaster at height
Stairwell walls in pre-war buildings are plaster like the rest of the house, and the hollow patches tend to be at head height where the vibration of a century of footsteps has done its work. Those are re-secured rather than skimmed over; crumbling plaster explains what that involves.
Often turns up alongside
