Frequently Asked Questions

Venetian plaster is a decorative wall finish made from slaked lime and crushed marble dust. Applied in multiple thin layers by hand with a steel trowel, it creates a polished, stone-like surface with depth and translucency. It's breathable, naturally antimicrobial, and extraordinarily durable.

Pricing depends on the finish type, surface area, complexity, and surface condition. As a premium artisan finish, Venetian plaster is an investment that lasts far longer than paint. Contact us for a personalized consultation and detailed estimate for your project.

Ottawa and Toronto are our home cities, but we travel. We've completed projects in Montréal, Calgary, Vancouver, Halifax, and beyond. If your project is in Canada — and the scope justifies the trip — we'll come to you.

Yes. Venetian plaster on ceilings creates a seamless, enveloping effect — especially impactful in dining rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms where the finish wraps the entire space.

It depends on scope. A single feature wall is usually 2 to 4 days from start to seal. Whole-home installations run several weeks. We always discuss timing in detail during the consultation.

Yes. For projects outside our home cities, we offer video consultations to review your space, discuss finishes, and develop sample boards. We can ship physical samples anywhere in Canada.
