Plaster renovation
Galluadet University
Washington, DC
Plaster white coated in this bathroom.
We patched 9 bathrooms. Here plaster patched for new toilets.
Some of the patches were roughed in with bricks, others we framed with iron and metal lath.
A great testimony from the tile contractor.

New addition on an old house has metal lath and an honest 3/4" cement basecoat.
