🧭 Before starting the project

We inspected the attic framing and ceiling joists to determine whether the cracks were cosmetic or structural. The goal was to fix the root cause not just patch the surface.

🔍 Key findings

Our assessment revealed the following:

Ceiling joists had minor deflection due to attic HVAC weight
Drywall seams were separating from seasonal movement
Paint inconsistencies highlighted every imperfection

⚠️ Common Challenges

Even well-planned projects come with their share of complications. Here’s what we had to navigate to keep things on track:

Reinforcing joists without disturbing HVAC layout
Blending new drywall texture with existing finish
Minimizing dust and disruption in an occupied home

🛠️ Implemented Solution

We focused on structural reinforcement and clean finishing:

Added sister joists to reinforce ceiling structure
Replaced damaged drywall sections and re-taped seams
Applied smooth finish and repainted entire ceiling and walls

🏁 Final Result

The ceiling is now level, seamless, and structurally reinforced. The space feels brighter and more polished, and the clients no longer worry about cracks reappearing. A subtle but powerful transformation.
