Sound familiar?
The wall condition drives the price
Plaster over sound lath is one job. Failed keys, water damage, cracks, old patches, masonry substrate, or exterior stucco repair are different jobs entirely.
Coat count and finish are easy to misunderstand
Scratch, brown, finish, skim, veneer, lime, texture, and polish all carry different labor and drying requirements. Clients need that spelled out before the work starts.
Drying time affects scheduling
Plaster is not just apply and leave. Cure time, return visits, protection, humidity, and weather can all change the schedule and the cost.
Here's how Suparate fits your workflow
Capture cracks, substrate, and access
Take photos of damaged areas, surrounding finishes, lath, masonry, corners, ceilings, and access conditions. Suparate keeps those details with the estimate so the repair scope is clear.
- Photo notes for cracks, water damage, lath, and substrate
- Separate lines for prep, base coats, finish coats, and cleanup
- Condition notes for moisture, movement, and old repairs
- Allowances for hidden damage once loose material is removed
Send proposals that explain the craft
Plaster clients often do not know why the work costs more than drywall patching. Suparate helps you present coat count, finish level, drying time, and exclusions in a signed proposal.
- Coat sequence and finish type written clearly
- Protection, masking, and cleanup included
- Digital signature before work begins
- Change orders for added repairs or finish upgrades
Invoice return visits cleanly
Plaster work often happens over multiple visits. Suparate keeps deposits, progress invoices, and final payment tied to the same scope and photo record.
- Deposits for specialty material and scheduled labor
- Milestone billing for prep, base coat, finish coat, and final
- Payment status visible by job
- Approved changes stored with repair photos
