Expert Venetian plaster services for Staten Island homes and businesses
Venetian plaster in Staten Island brings old-world depth and luminosity to walls and ceilings — a hand-troweled lime-based finish that creates movement, texture, and a rich visual depth that paint cannot achieve. Lion Construction Management's Venetian plaster applicators use traditional Italian techniques — multiple thin coats of slaked lime plaster, burnished and polished to create the characteristic depth and sheen. Available in a wide range of colors and finish levels from matte to high-gloss, Venetian plaster works beautifully in living rooms, dining rooms, foyers, and powder rooms.
Staten Island renovation permits are filed with the NYC DOB, but the borough's lower-density zoning (primarily R1, R2, and R3 districts) opens up project possibilities. Additions and extensions are common and often straightforward from a zoning perspective — rear extensions, second-floor additions, covered porches, and detached accessory structures are all standard Staten Island projects. The St. George and New Brighton neighborhoods include some locally landmarked properties. Flood zone considerations apply to waterfront properties in areas like Great Kills, Tottenville, and Midland Beach — FEMA compliance and elevation certificates become part of the permitting process. Lion Construction Management handles all DOB filings, FEMA coordination, and engineering requirements for Staten Island projects.
Classic Italian polished plaster with a marble-like sheen — applied in multiple layers and burnished to a smooth, luminous surface.
Soft, matte finish with subtle color variation that creates depth and movement on walls — ideal for bedrooms and living spaces.
Traditional Moroccan waterproof plaster — perfect for bathrooms, showers, and wet areas with a distinctive smooth, organic finish.

Plaster infused with metallic powders, mica, or mother-of-pearl for shimmering accent walls and ceiling features.
Weather-resistant lime plaster for exterior facades, garden walls, and outdoor living spaces.
Surfaces are repaired, primed, and prepared to receive plaster — ensuring proper adhesion and a smooth base.
Multiple thin layers of plaster are applied by trowel, each dried and sanded before the next — building depth and color variation.
Final layers are burnished with a steel trowel to develop sheen and depth, creating the signature luminous finish.
Natural wax or protective topcoat is applied to enhance the finish and provide surface protection.
Specialty finishes bring designer-quality surfaces to Staten Island homes. Venetian plaster transforms foyers, living rooms, and dining rooms with luminous depth. Wallpaper makes a statement in bedrooms, powder rooms, and accent walls. Micro cement creates seamless contemporary surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens. Staten Island's residential properties provide ideal conditions for specialty finish work — stable temperatures, good ventilation, and accessible workspaces. Our applicators prepare surfaces carefully, apply finishes with precision, and ensure proper cure times. Expect a color and finish consultation, 1-2 days of wall preparation, and 2-5 days of application depending on the room size and finish type.
Venetian plaster in Staten Island typically costs $15–$35 per square foot depending on the technique (lime wash is on the lower end, polished marmorino on the higher end). A single accent wall might cost $2,000–$5,000, while a full room can range from $8,000–$20,000+.
Yes. Venetian plaster is extremely durable — it's been used on buildings for centuries. It's scratch-resistant, breathable (reducing mold risk), and can be spot-repaired without redoing entire walls. With proper wax or sealer, it maintains its beauty for decades.
Certain types of Venetian plaster — particularly tadelakt — are specifically designed for wet environments. Tadelakt is waterproof when properly burnished and sealed, making it an excellent alternative to tile in showers, around tubs, and on bathroom walls.
A single accent wall typically takes 2–3 days (multiple layers need drying time between coats). A full room takes 5–10 days. Complex techniques like polished marmorino require more layers and take longer. We schedule plaster work within your overall renovation timeline.
