Plaster ceilings and crown molding

To truly restore the original look of plaster ceilings and crown molding in NYC and Brooklyn, and especially if that plaster has an intricate design or painted details, you want to hire a professional plasterer with experience in actual restoration work. As with restoring artwork, restoring aged plaster involves more than just covering over a crack or water damage with new plaster and then adding a coat of paint; different techniques might be used for different forms of plaster, and various tools will ensure the new plaster is molded and shaped to perfectly match the old.

Decorative plaster work has a long history. Moldings were originally run in-situ with ornaments cast in carved boxwood, pear-wood  or hard plaster and gelatin molds using composition materials and gauged setting stuff.

At a later date fibrous plastering techniques arrived, first used in France, the technique involves the use of Plaster of Paris with hessian/canvass scrim to reinforce casts and timber laths to assist fixing.

With some timber, sheet steel, molding compounds and a few bags of casting plaster, all manner of ornamental plaster work can be created.
