Preserve the Past. Restore with Precision.

At Jeva Design Studio, we treat restoration as both a technical skill and an artistic responsibility. Our plaster restoration and repair services are designed to preserve the architectural integrity and visual beauty of existing surfaces — whether centuries old or recently damaged.

From historic brownstones and landmark buildings to contemporary interiors in need of touch-up or surface rescue, we restore plaster with care, accuracy, and respect for the original craftsmanship.

Our goal is simple: make the damaged surface disappear — not by hiding it, but by understanding and replicating the process that created it.

Our Restoration Services Include:

Surface Crack Repair

We repair hairline and structural cracks in plaster walls and ceilings, ensuring surface integrity and visual continuity. Our approach includes assessing the root cause of movement to prevent recurrence.

Water Damage Restoration

We address and repair water-stained or moisture-damaged plaster by stabilizing the material, removing weak areas, and replacing the finish with matched color and texture.

Historic Plaster Matching

For older or landmark buildings, we replicate original plaster finishes with compatible materials, restoring smooth or ornate surfaces faithfully.

Finish Reintegration

When sections of plaster have been removed due to construction, repair, or remodel, we reintegrate new plaster so it aligns with existing walls in both feel and appearance.

Surface Stabilization & Prep

For flaking or failing plaster, we offer surface consolidation, patching, and reinforcement to extend the life of existing finishes and prepare them for repainting or refinishing.

Why Choose Professional Plaster Restoration?

At Jeva Design Studio, we offer a restoration-first approach using high-performance materials and historically accurate methods. Our team understands how to blend new work into old without compromising aesthetics or longevity. Benefits of our plaster repair approach:

  • Seamless repairs with precise texture matching
  • Color blending for invisible transitions
  • Lime- and gypsum-based materials to match original compositions
  • Structural integrity — not just cosmetic fixes
  • Compatibility with historical preservation standards

Our Restoration Process

We tailor each project to the condition and context of the space, but our approach is consistently thorough, respectful, and clean.

1. Assessment & Documentation

We evaluate the damage, identify the source of failure (where possible), and create a plan to restore stability and aesthetics. For historic projects, we may document existing conditions before starting.

2. Material Matching

We source or blend plaster materials to match the original composition — whether lime, gypsum, or clay-based. Finish samples may be created for texture and tone accuracy.

3. Repair & Reintegration

Damaged areas are removed or stabilized, edges are feathered, and new material is applied by hand. We ensure the transition from old to new is seamless and visually undetectable.

4. Finish Blending

Color, sheen, and texture are refined as needed. Whether left raw, painted, or sealed, we ensure the entire surface reads as one unified finish.
