Drywall of RI is a registered Rhode Island drywall, plaster, carpentry, and painting contractor (RI Reg. GC-46139) serving Pawtucket since 2017. From the historic Victorians of Quality Hill to the triple-deckers and mill conversions downtown, we work across the city.
Working in Pawtucket
Pawtucket is where the American Industrial Revolution started — Samuel Slater built the country’s first water-powered cotton-spinning mill here in 1793. The housing followed the mills: rows of triple-deckers for workers, plus Victorian and colonial homes in districts like Quality Hill, where the architecture is valued enough that the I-95 S-curves were bent to preserve it. Most of it predates drywall, so plaster over wood lath is the norm. Registered in Rhode Island (Reg. GC-46139), serving Pawtucket since 2017.

What to know for Pawtucket projects
Plaster and multi-family work define Pawtucket. We repair and patch original plaster, blend new drywall into old walls, and handle the water-damaged ceilings that come with older flat-roofed multi-families. Mill-to-residential conversions bring their own demands — large open spaces, fire-rated assemblies, and tying new partitions into old masonry. In occupied rental buildings we plan dust control and staging around the tenants.

Frequently asked questions
- Do you repair plaster in Pawtucket’s older homes?
- Yes — it’s most of what older Pawtucket needs. The Victorians and early-20th-century colonials in Quality Hill and Fairlawn typically have plaster over wood lath, often with high ceilings and decorative detail. We skim, patch, and re-skim to keep that character intact rather than covering it over.
- Do you work on triple-deckers?
- Regularly. The three-family triple-decker is Pawtucket’s signature house, built for mill workers and still everywhere. We do unit-turnover repairs, ceiling and wall patching, and full re-skims, and we’re comfortable working around occupied units.
- Can you finish a converted mill space?
- Yes. Downtown Pawtucket’s old mills are being turned into lofts and studios, and those big open interiors need a different plan than a standard room. We’ll walk through what works for the space.
