How much does artisan plaster cost?

Prices vary between materials and finishes and are driven by factors unique to each project, such as wall height, square footage, special features, existing wall conditions, and preparation. Plaster requires careful wall preparation and the application of several coats by skilled artisans. So while it will cost more than a basic paint project, the quality is incomparable. Contact us with more information about your project for an accurate estimate.

What size projects do you accept?

We are a small, artisanal company that installs high-quality, custom plaster finishes. Because we prioritize quality over quantity, we limit the size and number of jobs we accept.

We work on an intimate scale. We accept projects as small as an accent wall or fireplace and as large as a few rooms.

Our schedule fills up quickly. We are often booked up 2-3 months in advance. Contact us well ahead of your installation date to secure a spot in our schedule.

Do you work outside of San Diego?

We are based in central San Diego and usually don’t accept projects outside of San Diego County. Within San Diego County, projects outside of our general service area may be subject to a travel fee.

What surfaces can be plastered?

With the right preparation, artisan plasters can be applied to almost any surface, including new or previously painted drywall and non-drywall substrates such as brick and cinder block. Highly polished surfaces, such as tile, may need additional preparation. Surfaces prone to movement, such as wood, will need to be covered by a solid substrate before plastering.

Are artisan plasters durable?

Yes. Clay and lime plasters are both durable, but in different ways. As with any wall covering, the degree to which they hold up will be based on the wear and tear they receive, and also on the finish used. There are pros and cons to each material, and there’s a good plaster for almost any situation, from shower surrounds to high-traffic hallways. We can help you find a plaster and finish that will work best for your needs.
