Katonah Venetian Plaster & Tadelakt — FAQs

Is traditional lime plaster appropriate for Katonah's historic homes?

It's actually the ideal choice. Historic homes in Katonah were often built with lime plaster originally. Using authentic lime-based materials ensures compatibility with older masonry and wood-framed walls, preventing the trapped moisture problems that synthetic coatings can cause.

Can you restore cracked or deteriorating plaster in a Katonah antique?

Yes. Plaster repair and restoration is one of our specialties. We can stabilize, patch, and skim-coat failing plaster in Katonah's older homes, preserving the original surfaces wherever possible and matching textures seamlessly.

Do you work with historic preservation standards in Katonah?

We do. Many Katonah homes fall within or near the village's historic district, and we use materials and methods that align with preservation best practices, including traditional lime putty plasters and mineral pigments.
