Plaster Wall and Ceiling in Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs

Most contractors split wall installation and ceiling work into separate jobs. We don't. Doing both at once means the texture, sheen, and color stay consistent from floor to ceiling. That matters a lot in older Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs homes where original plaster details need to be respected and matched. We've spent 30 years developing an eye for that kind of work.

We also do our own color matching, which saves you from hiring a separate crew or dealing with visible seams where new plaster meets old. Whether you need new plaster walls in a single room or a full home, we bring the same attention to every square foot. That's why homeowners and general contractors across Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs keep calling us back.

Minnesota winters are hard on plaster. The freeze-thaw cycle that Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs sees every year puts real stress on walls and ceilings, especially in older homes where the original plaster has already seen decades of movement. Moisture works into small cracks, freezes, and opens them wider. We use materials rated for this climate and apply them with that stress in mind. Homes here need plaster that flexes a little rather than cracking at the first cold snap.

Plaster Walls That Hold Up Year After Year

Plaster walls are denser and harder than drywall. They hold paint better, resist dents, and dampen sound between rooms. If you're renovating a Twin Cities Metro and Suburbs home built before 1960, there's a good chance the original plaster walls are still structurally sound and worth preserving rather than replacing. We patch, resurface, or fully rebuild them depending on what we find.

For new construction or full gut renovations, we do complete wall installation from scratch. We can match traditional smooth finishes or apply a range of wall textures to fit the look you're going for. Either way, the plaster wall ends up as a finished surface that's ready to paint without extra prep.

Plaster Ceiling Work Done Right

A plaster ceiling gets looked at every single day. Cracks, patches, or mismatched texture stand out fast. We repair existing plaster ceilings with material that blends into the surrounding surface, and we do full ceiling replacements when the damage goes too deep to patch cleanly. Decorative plaster ceilings with molding or medallions are also something we've worked on throughout the Twin Cities Metro.

When we do a ceiling alongside walls in the same room, the wall covering and ceiling finish come from the same batch of material. That keeps color and texture consistent in a way that's hard to achieve otherwise.

Wall Textures and Finish Options

Not every room needs the same finish. Some homeowners want a flat, smooth surface. Others want a skip trowel, sand finish, or something more textured for a specific look.

We talk through your options before we start so you know exactly what the wall finishes will look like when they're dry. We can also match existing texture in adjoining rooms so repairs and new work blend together cleanly.
