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.

Plaster ceilings and crown molding

To truly restore the original look of plaster ceilings and crown molding in NYC and Brooklyn, and especially if that plaster has an intricate design or painted details, you want to hire a professional plasterer with experience in actual restoration work. As with restoring artwork, restoring aged plaster involves more than just covering over a crack or water damage with new plaster and then adding a coat of paint; different techniques might be used for different forms of plaster, and various tools will ensure the new plaster is molded and shaped to perfectly match the old.

Decorative plaster work has a long history. Moldings were originally run in-situ with ornaments cast in carved boxwood, pear-wood  or hard plaster and gelatin molds using composition materials and gauged setting stuff.

At a later date fibrous plastering techniques arrived, first used in France, the technique involves the use of Plaster of Paris with hessian/canvass scrim to reinforce casts and timber laths to assist fixing.




With some timber, sheet steel, molding compounds and a few bags of casting plaster, all manner of ornamental plaster work can be created.

Plaster is best...


Plaster is less prone to absorb moisture than drywall, so plaster walls and ceilings can mean less risk of mold growth in a home or office. This can be especially important for structures that don’t have a sufficient vapor barrier or that are constructed near bodies of water, where humidity levels are higher than average, and for homes with older plumbing pipes. You might install a plaster ceiling in such buildings, to help avoid unsightly water stains from leaky pipes or duct work.

Plaster restoration of ceiling molding

 


Quality Brooklyn plaster restoration can bring back the beauty of a historic building in the Brooklyn, New York City, area, and repair damage from water leaks as well as from pests, mold, or flooding. Repairing plaster can also restore the original color of walls and ceilings so they look vintage, but not yellowed, dingy, or otherwise unsightly.

If your home, apartment, or NYC office building has a plaster ceiling, you want to ensure you keep it in good repair so that you maintain the historic look and value of the building, and avoid cracks as well as a potential ceiling collapse. Old and damaged plaster crown molding in Brooklyn area structures can also detract from the overall look and value of a home or office, while restoration can make that molding stand out and look visually stunning once again.

Plaster Restoration Specialists

If you’re looking for the best historic plaster restoration company in Brooklyn, you’ve come to the right place. Trained in authentic European craftsmanship, and with over three decades of experience, we are the leading experts in repairing the fragile plaster ceilings and crown moldings that are often found in many homes and buildings in Brooklyn and its surrounding neighborhoods.

Restoring and repairing interior plaster is not like fixing cracks and holes in drywall, as plaster is a specialty compound that is applied directly to a structure’s framework. This means it needs a special touch for repairs and restoration! Our expertly trained specialists only use the best plastering products and methods, to penetrate the plaster itself, ensuring the material is then strong and secure, and free of sagging, weak spots, or water damage.

Fixing ceiling cracks in plaster will often take us to your building’s attic or crawlspace, so we can thoroughly examine any weaknesses in the plastering system. Rather than simply patching over cracks and chips, we repair your building’s plaster at its foundation, where it’s been applied to the substrate of a building. This ensures your building’s interior plaster is completely repaired and restored, and as strong as the day it was installed.
