What drying runs into in Kingston
Serving Kingston and the surrounding area, including Stockade, Rondout-West Strand, Chestnut Street, Ponckhockie.
Local housing stock
94.3 percent of Kingston's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1938, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1938 with nineteen houses in twenty older, a good share of the principal rooms have plaster cornices, center ornament and moldings run in place by hand, and none of that can be reproduced from a supplier; the ceiling is not a sheet of material but a piece of the building.
Climate & seasonal risk
6 months in Kingston have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 11.4 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in October at 4.76 inches of an annual 46.25; rain recorded at ROSENDALE 2 E 6.2 miles away and temperatures at RHINEBECK 4SE 7.3 miles away. October is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-six inch year and six months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands as the heating season begins and the cold runs long; a plaster ceiling wet in October is drying into a house that is warming up, which helps, but slowly.
How water losses tend to end in Kingston
- Plasterwork that cannot be replaced, so the usual decision to remove and rebuild is not available
- Ornament that is heavy and holds water in its depth, so the wettest part of the ceiling is the part most worth saving
- Keys broken by the weight of water, so a decorated ceiling can fail structurally while looking sound
