What decorative finishes in New Westminster involves

Decorative finishes are detail work. They need planning, an approved sample board and a steady hand.

Heritage interiors in Queen's Park have original plaster, crown moulding, and picture rails that a decorative finish has to complement. Modern plaster over old plaster needs compatibility testing first. Some older wall compositions react badly to modern lime-based products, so the material is tested on your wall before the sample is approved.

For decorative finishes in New Westminster, plaster and textured systems look their best when the wall and the sheen are settled before application.

Most decorative finish work projects in New Westminster run $5,500 to $10,700. Heritage prep, plaster restoration and lead-era paint are considered when defining the preparation and finish your project needs. Your consultation defines the scope, products and finish level, with the pricing approach explained in your proposal.
