Plaster Restoration

We are pleased to have several experiences in plaster repair and restoration.  Most people know the difference between drywall and plaster, and that techniques used in one trade can translate into the other.   But they also know that depending on the circumstances, and especially if you are trying to restore elements of historical spaces in a manner consistent with the original craft, some study, research and practice is needed.  At the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Lewiston, we had an opportunity to restore the water damaged wall along Bartlet Street, which had an original and unique texture pattern that needed to be matched.  In addition, there were a handful of plaster elements, repeating designs and angels' wings that were minimally damaged and needed repair.  The molds for these, if still existing, could not be found, so we made our own molds.
