What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Traditional plaster application applies brown coat (base) and finish coat (lime putty) over metal lath or existing scratch coat in two to three layers with a steel trowel, creating a hard, dense, soundproof wall surface superior to drywall. Veneer plastering applies a 1/8-inch skim of basecoat and finish plaster over blue board (gypsum lath) for a Level 5-equivalent surface. Plaster repair uses a bonding agent, then feathering brown coat into the existing surface before applying finish coat to match texture.

Common questions from clients looking for Plastering services
Three-coat plaster (scratch, brown, finish) builds 7/8-inch total thickness for a rock-hard wall; veneer plaster is 1/8-inch applied over gypsum lath for a similar surface at lower cost and weight.
Yes — plaster walls provide superior sound attenuation, fire resistance, and durability. Matching repairs are possible with proper bonding agent, and preservation is preferred in historic homes.
The plaster keys (plaster that pushed through the gaps in wood lath and hardened) break from building settlement, vibration, and age — plaster that sounds hollow needs keys re-anchored or replacement.
Tap the wall — a solid thud indicates sound plaster; a hollow drum sound indicates failed keys. Widespread hollow areas mean replacement is more practical than patching.
Plaster is 2–3x more expensive than drywall installation — the labor is significantly higher as each coat must cure before the next is applied. The superior performance justifies cost in historic preservation.
