Unlike a full re-plaster, which can be invasive and costly, skim coating works with the original surface. The process begins with cleaning the wall and applying a bonding agent so the new plaster adheres properly. Our team then mixes the plaster to a smooth, creamy consistency and spreads it evenly across the surface using a steel trowel. Typically, two coats are applied, with a drying period between each. Once the final coat sets, we lightly sand the wall to remove any minor imperfections, leaving a surface that is flat, smooth, and ready for paint or wallpaper. For Paterson properties, this service is particularly valuable. Many homes in the city were built in the early to mid-1900s, featuring original lath-and-plaster walls that have developed cracks, uneven patches, or a textured finish from decades of repairs. Skim coating eliminates these irregularities without demolishing the underlying structure. It also helps seal in old paint or minor stains, creating a uniform base for a fresh look. In addition, Paterson’s older buildings often have plaster walls that are difficult to match with modern drywall compound; skim coating provides a consistent, traditional finish that blends seamlessly with the rest of the room. Whether you are preparing a single room for a new color scheme or refreshing an entire floor, this technique preserves the character of your property while giving it a clean, modern appearance. ## Areas We Cover in Paterson We serve homeowners throughout Paterson, including the Riverside neighborhood near the Passaic River, where many older homes benefit from this type of restoration. Our work also extends to areas around local landmarks such as the 7-Eleven on Market Street, Al Mazaq Restaurant and Bakery on Main Street, Al-Hikma Elementary School on Carroll Street, and Alhamdanya Sweets on Crooks Avenue. Whether your property is in the historic district near Great Falls or in the quieter residential streets off East 18th Street, we can bring our plaster skim coating expertise to your location. ## What to Expect When you schedule a plaster skim coating service with us, here is what the process looks like: - We protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. - The walls are cleaned and any loose material is removed. - A bonding agent is applied to ensure the new plaster grips the old surface. - We mix and apply the first coat, then let it dry. - A second coat is troweled on for a smooth, even finish. - After drying, we sand lightly to remove any high spots. - Your walls are left clean and ready for painting or wallpapering. The entire job typically takes one to three days, depending on the size of the room and the condition of the existing walls. We work with minimal disruption, cleaning up thoroughly each day. ## Ready for a Smooth, Fresh Start?
