Plaster Repair

Old plaster deserves plaster, not a drywall shortcut

Peninsula homes move, and their plaster shows it. We rebuild in coats over sound lath and keep the wall's original profile instead of flattening its character.

Hand-applied plaster coat rebuilding a damaged wall section in an older Halifax house

What's included

No line items you did not ask for, and nothing skipped because it does not show.

Lath assessed first

If the keys behind the lath have broken off, filling the face fixes nothing. We check what is actually holding the wall.

Rebuilt in coats

Base and finish coats applied and allowed to set properly, so the repair moves with the wall around it.

Original profile kept

Picture rails, curved corners and slightly wavy old walls are preserved rather than sanded into something that looks new and wrong.

Honest about hybrid repairs

Sometimes a board-and-skim repair is the better answer. We tell you when, and why.

Damage we handle here

If yours is not on this list, send a photo anyway. It is almost certainly something we see weekly.

What it costs

Plaster takes longer than drywall because the coats have to set. Expect a broader quote range and, on larger areas, a second visit for the finish coat.

No financing fee, markup or gross-up is built into a displayed price. What you see is the cash price, plus HST.
