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.
