Transform your walls with decorative plaster in San Francisco
We bring texture, depth, and a handcrafted feel to any room. From modern lime wash to classic Venetian plaster, our finishes are built to last.
Venetian plaster and lime wash: two ways to get that Old World feel
Two distinct techniques, both built on mineral-based materials that breathe, age gracefully, and create depth you can't get from paint.
Venetian plaster
Polished, smooth finish with subtle movement. Feels like aged marble under your hand.
Lime wash finish
Matte, chalky appearance with soft color variation. Natural patina that deepens over time.
Mineral-based and breathable
Allows walls to release moisture naturally. Ideal for older San Francisco buildings.
Custom color and patina
We blend pigments on site. You get a color that belongs to your space, not a catalog.
does it hold up in a san francisco victorian?
We don't expect you to take our word for it. Here's what homeowners and designers say about working with us on their plaster projects.
The lime wash in our dining room turned out better than the reference photos I sent. Nathan was patient with my questions and the finish has a depth I didn't expect from a wall treatment.

We specified venetian plaster for a restaurant interior and paint studio SF delivered a consistent application across a large open space. No patchiness, no delays.

I was nervous about choosing a textured finish for our retail space. Nathan brought samples to the studio, explained how each one would age, and the result is exactly what we envisioned.

The crew prepped meticulously before applying the plaster coat. Zero mess, zero disruption. That level of care is hard to find with other contractors in the city.

The best plaster finish we've done this year didn't come from a catalog
We developed this warm limestone-look finish for a Nob Hill living room after sampling five different aggregates. Every material we use is chosen for how it lives in a space, not how it looks in a brochure.
Let's talk about your San Francisco project. No obligation, just a conversation about what's possible with lime wash or venetian plaster.
Small team, direct communication, and a clear quote before any work begins. Call or email — we'll walk through your space and the finish that fits it.
Built and applied by one person who cares
Nathan Bareman handles every plaster project himself. That means no handoffs, no surprises, and one consistent standard of finish from start to finish.
