PAINTING SERVICES - PLASTERING |
Generally, the older the property, the worse the condition of the walls. Pre-war apartments have solid plaster walls that have been painted many
times over the years. They usually require plastering. Most post-war buildings are constructed with sheetrock, which is easier to work with. The best but most expensive and time-consuming plastering system is skim coating. This
entails applying a coat of plaster over the entire surface. After it dries over night, it is sanded and another layer is applied. Skim coating usually requires three or four coats of plaster. It is the nicest looking option because it makes the walls look new. Another method is to scrape, sand and plaster only the areas where paint is peeling or the walls are cracking. This process repairs cracks and peeling paint but doesn't make the wall look perfect. The amount of plastering you require will be based on
the level of smoothness and perfection you want to achieve , but may be limited by your budget .
