Yes — many homes in Crocus Hill, Cathedral Hill, and along Summit Avenue have original plaster walls and skim-coat or sand-float textures. We use plaster-compatible patching compound, skim-coat to feather repairs into the surrounding wall, and prime with a bonding primer before topcoat so the patch disappears under finish paint instead of telegraphing through. We also offer cabinet refinishing in St. Paul for period kitchens with original built-ins.
