Veneer Plaster: Separating the Myths from the Facts

Veneer Plaster: Separating the Myths from the Facts

May 6, 2014  

Plaster Patching Services in SeattleVeneer plaster is an alternative to other varieties of drywall which generally takes approximately one or two coats for application. There are a number of reasons why veneer plaster is chosen among homeowners and contractors, namely due to its application speed, durability, and overall value. However, not everyone knows the facts when it comes to veneer plaster information and suggested applications. A few common myths regarding veneer plaster is as follows:

Myth 1: Veneer Plaster is expensive
Veneer Plaster is extremely long lasting and durable, which means that you won’t have to cover significant costs in the future due to the need for major repairs. The initial investment for Veneer Plaster is usually only a fraction more compared to a drywall finish, and provides a tremendous long term value.

Myth #2: Veneer Plaster application is messy
Veneer plaster is actually a much cleaner application process as opposed to drywall.  It does not produce as much dust, and is a quicker installation procedure when completed professionally.

Myth 3: Veneer Plaster can only be shiny
Veneer plaster can be shiny, yes, but it doesn’t have to be. A professional veneer plaster application company can create a glossy finish or a rustic matte finish. It all depends on how it is used, applied, and what your preferences are for the final result.

The potential designs and finishes with veneer plaster are only limited to one’s creative mind. However, it is recommended for professionals to apply this type of plaster, as the application can be a bit tricky if you aren’t sure of what you’re doing.

As an apprentice, I have already learned so much from each person because of their skill and talent for plaster and stucco work. Look forward to becoming a journeyperson and growing with this company!


The team from JJ Jefferson & Sons Inc did outstanding plastering work in our home! We are very pleased with their work quality, timeliness, site management, cleanliness, and client communications throughout our project. We highly recommend JJ Jefferson & Sons!


Without question this company is the best we've ever experienced. They did a wonderful job. It turned out that there was more water damage than we thought but they got in there took care of the problem efficiently and were very fair in their pricing. I cant say enough good things about them. Best money we've ever spent on home repairs!


These guys are awesome, super friendly and experienced with pretty much any stucco work you could ever need. They've completed tons of projects (big and small) in the area. If you're in the market for plaster, stucco or EIFS, I highly recommend giving Joseph J Jefferson a try.


Great work!
