  • Why is my plaster wall cracking, and can it be repaired?
    Absolutely! Over time, due to settling of the house or minor shifts in structure, plaster might develop cracks. Yes, these cracks can be repaired. We've got you covered when it comes to fixing those cracks on your home. We can either match the texture you already have or give it a fresh new look. You'll love the result!
  • What type of textured finish do you recommend?
    For your home, we highly recommend going with an acrylic finish. They come in three options: Coarse, Medium, and Smooth. These acrylic finishes not only offer a more modern aesthetic, but they're also crack-resistant, which means they'll keep your home looking great for years to come. Whether you prefer a bit of texture with the Coarse finish or a sleek, smooth look with the Smooth finish, acrylic is a fantastic choice that will enhance the appearance of your home while standing up to wear and tear.
  • How long do lath and plaster installations last?
    With proper maintenance, lath and plaster walls and ceilings can last for several decades. It's a long-lasting wall finish choice that has stood the test of time in many historical and heritage homes.
  • Are lath and plaster walls energy-efficient?
    Lath and plaster walls have a dense composition, providing good insulation properties. This can help in maintaining room temperatures, making them more energy-efficient than some other wall finishes.
  • What's the cost of lath and plastering vs. siding?
    Lath and plastering can be more labor-intensive, potentially leading to a higher initial cost compared to siding. However, its durability, soundproofing qualities, and traditional finish can offer significant value for homeowners looking for a premium wall finish.
  • How does traditional lath and plaster contribute to interior design aesthetics?
    Lath and plaster brings a unique blend of tradition and craftsmanship to interior design. Its smooth and continuous surface offers a vintage charm that's hard to replicate with modern materials. The subtle texture and depth created by hand-troweled plaster enhance room acoustics and provide a distinct tactile experience, making spaces feel warm, inviting, and historically rich.
