Boston's brownstones, triple-deckers and historic homes are full of horsehair plaster, decorative ceilings and old lath that most contractors would rather tear out. We repair and restore it instead, and add modern finishes like microcement and Venetian plaster where they fit.
From urgent repairs to design-grade finishes, here is what we bring to Boston homes and projects:
Many homes here were built with real lath-and-plaster walls and ceilings. When they crack or sag, most contractors want to tear them out for drywall. We repair and restore the original plaster wherever it can be saved, keeping the density, the sound and the character that make these homes what they are. When replacement genuinely is the right call, we tell you so in writing.
Boston's triple-deckers, brownstones and prewar condos are full of original plaster and horsehair walls, where careful repair beats tearing out character for flat drywall.
Whatever the age of the home, we start by finding out why the plaster failed, not just covering it up, so the repair actually lasts. That means checking for active moisture, settling and past patch jobs before we put together a detailed written estimate.
Every Boston project follows the same clear path, so there are no surprises on the timeline or the bill:
There is no honest flat rate for plaster work, because the price depends on what the walls actually need. The three things that move the number most are the size and condition of the area, whether we are repairing original plaster or installing a premium finish like Venetian plaster, microcement or tadelakt, and how much prep, protection and moisture work the job requires.
Rather than guess, we visit the Boston property in person, look behind the surface where it matters, and give you a detailed written estimate before any work starts. That way you can compare quotes on the same terms, and there is never a surprise on the final bill.

Beyond everyday repair and restoration, we bring design-grade finishes to Boston that almost no other local contractor installs: authentic Venetian plaster for polished feature walls, seamless microcement for grout-free showers and floors, and traditional tadelakt for naturally waterproof wet rooms.
Because the owner applies these himself rather than sending an unfamiliar crew, homeowners get the real, hand-troweled result, not a painted imitation.
Boston's triple-deckers, brownstones and prewar condos come with their own quirks: horsehair plaster, shared party walls, tight access and busy buildings. We plan around them, protect common areas, keep dust contained and schedule work so neighbours and tenants are barely disturbed, then leave the space spotless.
For condo and multifamily owners, we give you a detailed written estimate up front so there are no surprises to explain to a board or a tenant.
