Older homes hide plaster, lath, old wiring and sometimes hazardous materials. Here is how to take them apart safely.
Nashville has beautiful older homes, and inside many of them are plaster walls, wood lath, knob and tube wiring, old flooring layers and paint from eras with different rules. Demolition in these houses needs more care than in a new build.
We recommend hazard testing before work, protect original features you want to keep, remove plaster and lath with dust control and coordinate old wiring and plumbing with the right trades. We save salvageable trim, doors and flooring when you ask, and we explain what we find along the way.
