About Our Plastering Services
Chris Construction Co provides professional plastering services throughout Upstate New York. With over 10 years of experience, our skilled plasterers deliver smooth, durable wall and ceiling finishes for residential and commercial properties. From traditional three-coat plaster to modern veneer plaster systems, we create beautiful surfaces that stand the test of time while providing superior performance compared to standard drywall.
Plaster has been the preferred wall finish for centuries, valued for its durability, sound dampening properties, and smooth, seamless appearance. Today's plastering techniques combine traditional craftsmanship with modern materials to create walls that are harder, more durable, and more attractive than drywall. Our plastering services include traditional lime and gypsum plaster, veneer plaster over blueboard, plaster repair, and decorative plaster finishes.
Detailed Plastering Information
Our Approach & Expertise
Traditional three-coat plastering creates the most durable and attractive wall surfaces. We apply scratch coats, brown coats, and finish coats to lath substrates, building up smooth, solid surfaces that resist denting, cracking, and damage far better than drywall. Traditional plaster provides superior sound isolation, fire resistance, and a high-quality appearance appropriate for fine homes and historic properties.
Veneer plaster systems combine the benefits of plaster with faster installation times. We apply thin coats of veneer plaster over specially designed gypsum board (blueboard), creating smooth, hard surfaces with the durability and appearance of traditional plaster. Veneer plaster is an excellent choice for new construction and renovation projects where plaster quality is desired with practical time and budget considerations.
Plaster repair is essential for maintaining historic homes and older properties with original plaster walls. We repair cracks, patch damaged areas, reattach loose plaster to lath, and address water damage. Our repair techniques match existing textures and blend seamlessly with surrounding surfaces. We stabilize deteriorating plaster rather than replacing it when possible, preserving the character and value of original plaster walls.
Quality & Craftsmanship
Historic plaster restoration requires specialized knowledge and techniques. We understand traditional plastering methods and materials, allowing us to repair and restore historic plaster authentically. Our restoration work maintains the character of historic properties while addressing structural and cosmetic issues. We work carefully around decorative moldings, medallions, and architectural details.
Decorative plaster finishes add elegance and character to any space. We create smooth troweled finishes, skip-trowel textures, venetian plaster, and other decorative effects. Our plasterers have the skill to create custom textures and finishes that complement your architecture and design vision. Decorative plaster can replicate historic finishes or create contemporary effects.
Ceiling plastering creates smooth, seamless overhead surfaces without the visible joints common in drywall ceilings. Plaster ceilings are particularly valued in living rooms, dining rooms, and formal spaces where appearance is important. We plaster ceilings over lath or blueboard substrates, creating beautiful surfaces that reflect light evenly.
Materials & Methods
Plaster provides functional benefits beyond aesthetics. The density and mass of plaster improves sound isolation between rooms and floors. Plaster's inorganic composition provides fire resistance. The hard surface resists dents and dings that easily damage drywall. These performance advantages make plaster a smart investment for quality construction.
Our plastering services include all preparation, materials, and finishing. We protect surrounding areas during work, maintain clean job sites, and thoroughly clean up upon completion. We coordinate with other trades as needed for integrated project execution.
