How we approach it

Many homes on the peninsula still have original plaster and lath. We repair what's worth saving, replace what isn't, and finish walls to a level that holds up under raking light before a single coat of paint goes on.

Scope, step by step

  1. Walk & colour

    Room-by-room walkthrough, finish level agreed, colour samples painted on your walls.

  2. Protect & repair

    Floors and furniture covered, cracks and holes repaired, plaster stabilised or replaced.

  3. Hang & finish

    New drywall hung, taped and finished to the agreed level; sanded with dust control.

  4. Paint

    Primer where needed, two finish coats, crisp cut lines on trim and ceilings.

Questions about painting & drywall

Is the price per sq ft of wall or floor?

Our rate is per sq ft of wall surface. For a quick ballpark, a 12 ft × 12 ft bedroom with 8 ft ceilings has about 384 sq ft of wall area.

Can you match old plaster texture?

Usually, yes. We do a test patch first so you can see it before we commit.
