Decorative Plaster in Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs

We're a family-owned plasterer business with over 30 years in the trade. That means we've seen every wall condition, worked from every kind of reference photo, and solved problems that younger crews walk away from. When you hire McClellan Stucco for decorative plaster in Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs, you get people who treat your walls like their own.

Every project here is custom work. We don't pull a finish off a sample board and call it done. We talk through what you want, test samples on your actual wall, and refine until you're satisfied. That process takes longer than a typical paint job, but the results hold up for decades.

Minnesota winters are hard on interior plaster. Homes in Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs run their heating systems for six months straight, and that dry indoor air causes plaster to shrink and crack if it wasn't mixed and applied correctly. We account for that from the start. Our mixes are calibrated for the humidity swings common to this region, and we use bonding agents that stay flexible through freeze-thaw cycles. That's something worth asking any plasterer about before you hire them.

Ornamental Plastering and Plaster Moldings

Ornamental plaster is one of the oldest crafts in residential construction, and it's making a real comeback in Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs homes. Homeowners want the kind of detail you see in century-old Minneapolis buildings, but applied to modern spaces. We do plaster moldings for crown profiles, ceiling medallions, archways, and wall panels, all cast or run by hand to match your design.

Plaster molding work requires patience. Each piece gets fitted, trimmed, and set so the joints disappear. If you're restoring original ornamental plastering in an older Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs home, we can match existing profiles so the repair reads as part of the original work.

Custom Decorative Finishes for Interior Walls

Decorative finishes cover a wide range, from smooth Venetian plaster to heavily textured relief work. We've applied decorative finish work in kitchens, entryways, dining rooms, and commercial lobbies across the Twin Cities Metro. Each one starts with a conversation about how the room is used, what light hits the wall, and what mood you're after.

If you've seen a finish somewhere and want to recreate it, bring us a photo. We can usually match the technique or get close enough that the difference doesn't matter. Our plasterers have worked with lime, gypsum, and acrylic-based systems, so we pick the right material for the specific application rather than defaulting to one product.
