Finishing the Build Timeline

Huxley’s repair calls follow its construction timeline — the mid-century core’s plaster and board that releases water slower than anything built after, the 2000s subdivisions’ first-generation finishes, and the newest builds whose textures match easily but whose builder-grade millwork is the cheapest on the shelf. The finished basements carry the most damage per square foot, and the newer the build, the more the finishes cost to match. Matching them is the job; the room should look like nothing happened.
