Plaster Finishes We Apply in Franklin Lakes
Every finish below is hand-applied by our own crews over a properly prepared substrate.
Venetian Plaster
Polished lime plaster burnished to a marble-like depth. Used on fireplace surrounds, feature walls and dining rooms where the wall itself should be the focal point.
Limewash
A breathable, mineral finish with soft cloudy movement. Works directly on plaster, masonry and brick, and develops character rather than wearing out.
Microcement
A seamless, hard-wearing cement-based finish for walls, ceilings, showers and counters — continuous surfaces with no grout lines or panel seams.
Lime & Roman Clay Plaster
Matte, tactile mineral plaster in warm neutral tones. A quieter alternative to polished finishes for full rooms and large wall areas.
Plaster Work in Franklin Lakes Homes
Franklin Lakes homes range from large colonial and stone-front estates near Crystal Lake and High Mountain to newer custom builds with open, double-height rooms. Those big uninterrupted wall and ceiling planes are exactly where seamless plaster earns its keep — there are no panel seams or wallpaper joints to break up the surface.

How We Work
The same sequence on every Franklin Lakes project, from a single accent wall to a full lower level.
1Walkthrough & samples
We look at the actual walls, check the substrate and moisture conditions, and leave sample boards so you can judge color and texture in your own light.
2Substrate preparation
Repairs, corner beads, mesh reinforcement and skim coating where needed. Plaster only looks seamless if what's underneath is flat and sound.
3Primer
A gripping primer suited to the finish system, so each plaster coat bonds properly instead of sitting on the surface.
4Hand application
Coats are laid on by trowel, one layer at a time, with drying time between them. Movement and texture are worked in by hand, not sprayed on.
5Compression, sealing & walkthrough
The finish is burnished or compressed as the system requires, sealed where it needs protection, then reviewed with you before we pack up.

Plaster Questions from Franklin Lakes Homeowners
Do you work on occupied Franklin Lakes homes?
Yes. Most of our Franklin Lakes work happens in lived-in homes. We mask and protect floors and adjacent finishes, keep the work area contained, and clean at the end of each day.Can plaster go over existing painted drywall?
In most cases yes. The wall is repaired, skim coated as needed and primed so the plaster bonds correctly. We inspect the substrate first and tell you what prep it needs before quoting a finish.What does a plaster contractor actually do?
A plaster contractor prepares and finishes wall and ceiling surfaces with plaster systems rather than paint. That covers repairing and skim coating existing plaster, and applying decorative mineral finishes such as lime plaster, Venetian plaster, limewash and microcement.How is plaster different from paint?
Paint is a film on top of the wall. Plaster is a mineral layer that becomes part of the surface, applied in multiple coats by hand. It has real depth and texture, it can be shaped and polished, and it does not look flat or printed the way paint does.Which plaster finish should I choose?
It depends on the room and the look. Venetian plaster suits polished, reflective feature walls; limewash suits soft, matte rooms and masonry; microcement suits wet areas and seamless modern surfaces. We bring samples so you can compare them in the space itself.Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. All Time Paint & Plaster Co. is a licensed New Jersey home improvement contractor (NJ HIC #13VH10434100) and fully insured.Also Serving Near Franklin Lakes
