Plastering in Greater Boston
Smooth, durable plaster walls and ceilings for homes and businesses, finished by a crew that takes pride in the details.
Craftsmanship you can see
Plaster is what gives older Boston-area homes their solid, seamless walls, and it is still the finish that looks best once the paint goes on. L&A Plastering handles everything from patching a cracked wall to plastering a full room or addition, matching the surrounding surface so repairs disappear.
Our crew works clean, protects your floors and furniture, and builds each surface up in proper coats so it dries hard and flat. Whether you are restoring a century-old home in Cambridge or finishing new construction in Malden, you get a wall that is smooth, square, and ready for primer.
