Interior Plaster Services in Brooklyn
Interior plaster is one of the oldest and most beautiful wall finishing systems in the world — and it's experiencing a major revival in Brooklyn's high-end residential and commercial projects. Unlike drywall (which cracks, dents, and sounds hollow), plaster creates solid, durable walls with superior acoustics, fire resistance, and a quality feel that you simply can't replicate with sheet goods.
MNM Construction specializes in all types of interior plaster — from simple crack repair in a Brooklyn brownstone to complete new Venetian plaster installations in restaurants and luxury residences.
Types of Interior Plaster We Apply
Venetian Plaster
The pinnacle of interior wall finishing. Authentic Venetian plaster (Marmorino, Grassello di Calce) creates a polished marble-like surface with incredible depth and luminosity. Burnished to a smooth or semi-gloss finish.
Smooth Plaster
Classic smooth plaster finish — the standard in pre-war Brooklyn buildings. Harder and more durable than drywall, with a perfect flat surface for painting. Ideal for restoration of historic homes.
Textured Plaster
Skip trowel, sand finish, knockdown, and custom artisan textures. Each texture is applied by hand, creating unique wall surfaces that add character and visual interest to any space.
Three-Coat Plaster
Traditional three-coat plaster system (scratch, brown, finish) over metal lath. The same system used in Brooklyn's pre-war buildings. The most durable interior wall system available.
Plaster Repair & Restoration
We repair cracks, holes, and water-damaged plaster in existing walls. Historic brownstone restoration is one of our specialties — matching original plaster formulas and textures for invisible repairs.
Decorative Effects
Stucco veneziano, travertine effects, color washing, and custom tinted plasters. Create the look of stone, marble, or aged European walls with authentic lime-based plaster systems.
Brooklyn Brownstone Specialists: We have extensive experience restoring the original plaster walls in Brooklyn's historic brownstones and row houses. Matching 100-year-old plaster textures and formulas requires specific knowledge — we've been doing it for 15+ years.
Why Choose Plaster Over Drywall?
- Durability — plaster walls last 50–100+ years; drywall needs patching and replacement within 10–20 years
- Sound insulation — plaster's density provides superior acoustic performance between rooms and floors
- Fire resistance — lime plaster is naturally fire-resistant and non-combustible
- Mold resistance — lime creates an alkaline environment that inhibits mold growth
- Aesthetic quality — there is no substitute for the look and feel of real plaster walls
- Property value — high-quality plaster finishes significantly increase a home's value and appeal
