Deco Plaster Studio brings artisan wall finishes to Pelham, one of Westchester County's oldest settlements with roots stretching back to the colonial era.

Just minutes from the Bronx border, Pelham offers a suburban village atmosphere with direct Metro-North access to Grand Central.

Signature Finishes for Pelham Homes

Pelham's architectural character reflects centuries of building, from colonial-era stone foundations to the Tudor and Georgian Revival homes that line its tree-shaded streets. Many properties feature original plaster walls and decorative moldings that our finishes are designed to complement rather than compete with. Our artisan plasters bring subtle movement and natural sheen that honor the craftsmanship of Pelham's older homes while updating interiors for contemporary life. Every surface is hand-applied using mineral, VOC-free materials designed to age beautifully alongside original millwork, wainscoting, and built-in bookcases.

Pelham Venetian Plaster & Tadelakt — FAQs

Do you work with Pelham Manor's historic home preservation guidelines?

Yes. We understand that many Pelham homes fall within historic districts or carry landmark considerations, and we're experienced working within those frameworks. Our lime-based finishes are historically appropriate for colonial and Tudor-era properties—lime plaster has been used for centuries, making it a sympathetic choice for preservation-minded renovations.

Can Venetian plaster restore walls damaged by previous wallpaper removal in Pelham homes?

Many Pelham homes built in the 1920s and 1930s have walls that suffered during past wallpaper removal projects. Venetian plaster is an excellent solution because it fills minor imperfections, bridges hairline cracks, and creates a flawless, unified surface. We prepare the substrate carefully before applying any finish to ensure long-term adhesion.

How does plaster perform in Pelham's mix of older and newer construction?

We tailor our approach to the substrate. In Pelham's older plaster-and-lath homes, our lime-based finishes bond naturally with the existing walls. In newer construction with paper-faced drywall, we apply a bonding agent and use formulations designed for modern surfaces. Either way, the result is a seamless, artisan finish.
