If you own a plaster house or building you will know that, like anything else, it requires maintenance. Sometimes this is as simple as cleaning and repainting the plaster cladding, but sometimes it takes a bit more work when the plaster system becomes compromised.
This can happen when your building shifts and the plaster cladding cracks under stress; something smashes into the wall and breaks the cladding; or water gets in and damages the substrate or plaster, to name a few. While these are not necessarily serious issues, they need to be fixed by a professional to insure a proper and lasting fix. This is imperative for the weather tightness and integrity of the building. It is also important to get these issues fixed in a timely manner so that they don’t end up causing more problems with the building, such as water damage or pest infestations.
Some of our common repairs include:
● Crack Repairs
● Damaged plaster (ie garage wall bumped into by a car)
● Modifications made to building (ie new window installation)
Whether it be fixing cracks, repairing damaged plaster or fixing the substrate as well, we are equipped with modern technologies and techniques to remedy the problem. Our plastering team has experience with current plastering systems as well as older systems, which allows us to match textures and integrate new plaster into the old skillfully.
Our process starts with assessing the damage/work required. From here we come up with a solution. Once agreed upon, we begin by completing any work to the substrate that is required, then move onto the structural aspects of the plaster. Finally we complete the repair by matching the texture of the existing plaster, sealing, and painting (as required) it.
Our workmanship carries a 10 year warranty.
