Plaster repair of ceiling and plaster molding

Ornamental plaster work has the ability to truly transform a space, and master plasterers can create beautiful designs as simple or as complex as needed with traditional techniques and processes.


While the installation of new plaster ornamentation and the restoration of existing plaster work rely on the same fundamental principles, the latter requires significant dedication to craft and a deep body of experience to ensure accuracy.

 

 


Deciding whether to replace, or restore historic ornamental plaster work is a difficult decision; and not one to be taken lightly. Owners of a historic property feel as if a bit of history and character is lost when replacing original plaster work. But in order to maintain and ensure longevity, replacing plaster work is a reality that often must be acted on. This difficult choice it is a two-fold decision that can be reached with the guidance of a plaster expert.

Understanding the condition and forces acting on these two surfaces will help you reach an informed decision. Additionally, scale of the project and budget often weigh heavily on the decision, too.

Plaster ceiling repair

Plaster molding repair is worth the investment of those repair costs! Pulling down damaged plaster molding and then replacing it with wood trim or a laminate piece can detract from a home’s vintage look and charm. Plaster has been used for centuries for molding, cornices, friezes, and other such decorative pieces, so trying to replace this plaster with newer wood, laminate, or tile can mean detracting from the authentic look and charm of prewar buildings.

Wood may also be more prone to mold growth and pest infestation, as it provides a food source for mold and termites, and rodents may find wood easier to chew through. Plaster molding repair can then keep your home in good condition while also keeping it looking its best.
