Plaster Repair & Painting

Amherst, NY

Close up of efflorescence

We chipped off the damaged plaster, and removed the damage plaster basecoat from the wall by hand. This patch became MUCH bigger than originally anticipated. This can happen with plaster repair.

Instead of removing the wood lath which can lead to even more problems,(opens in new window) we installed metal lath over the wood lath, than applied plaster basecoat. That is the grey material in the next photo

Finished the patches

The following is the other side of the same foyer. There were shelving brackets the homeowners wanted removed. They were afraid of this happening to them .They were much happier it happened to us instead.

Easily repaired with plaster

Then finished:

After priming the foyer with oil primer, we applied painted the walls and ceiling.

The focus is transparency: how problems are identified, how repairs are approached, and the level of care applied throughout the process.
