This page has the links to all the valuable knowledge on the website in an easy to navigate format. There is a lot of industry specific information on the website that I wrote myself. All the information shared is from personal experience on the job, written by the owner of Carrigan Painting. These 5 pages contain roughly 15,000 words. Grab some coffee =)

Plaster and Lath Repair: The largest repository of information regarding plaster repairs in (probably) New York State. I explain the history of plaster wall and ceiling systems used in the Western New York Region. How we repair damage, including photos videos and a ton of easy to read information. (3,800 words)

Plaster Repair Portfolio: Yes its a portfolio, but it also has a ton of information about our process, with galleries of photos. (1,300 words)

Drywall Repair: The dominant wall and ceiling system in 2025. There are trade secrets involved with repairing drywall for seamless repairs. While I share some, I keep the biggest secret to myself. After all, its bad enough that some of our local competitors are scraping my site to steal content. (requiring a bonding agent for plaster repair work, for example.) (3,600 words)

Interior Painting: You wouldn’t think there was much to slapping some paint on the walls, but there is actually a lot more to it than that to get the results that we achieve. (1,500 words)

Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Repair: You can not duplicate popcorn texture using a spray can from a big box store. Its like expecting oatmeal and getting cream of wheat. (2,700 words)

Exterior Painting: We go into detail about our exterior painting services. Like why you shouldn’t paint your vinyl siding but instead have the home resided! (2,100 words)

I have been thinking about how to share this valuable information for homeowners, since getting this information seems difficult. You go to all these company websites, and you can tell whoever wrote the content has never done the work themselves. So when I rewrote our website, I decided to share the information that I often get asked about.

This knowledge base will be updated periodically.
