Manhattan Townhouse Plaster Restoration
Coffered ceilings are an elegant architectural feature which have stood the test of time. They may have originally been designed as a more lightweight option to stone, while evoking a measure of formality. Some speculate they also hide ceiling imperfections while adding perceived height and drama overhead. They are indeed beautiful. When water damaged the stunning ceiling in this Manhattan townhouse, we came in to remove the old plaster, clean, scrape and prep for a new surface.
Not only did we patch and paint the ceiling, but also we recreated some of the molding in our shop. It’s intricate work crafting the wood for the coffered effect, even before transporting, installing, priming and painting it. There’s a great deal of satisfaction at the end of the project like this, and the outcome was an historic plaster ceiling restored to its former glory.
