Plaster Repairs and Fresh Paint in a Grosse Pointe Park Living Room

This Grosse Pointe Park living room had a few problem areas that needed real attention - patchy plaster on the walls, damaged sections on the ceiling, and spots that just didn't match the rest of the room. It's a pretty common situation in older homes. Things shift, water finds its way in at some point, and over time the plaster starts showing it.

Before any paint went on, we focused on getting the surfaces right. That meant patching each damaged area, building it back up properly, and making sure everything was smooth and ready to hold a finish coat. Skipping that step is how you end up with repairs that show right through the paint. We don't skip it.

Once the plaster work was done and everything was prepped, we repainted the walls and ceiling throughout the space. The goal wasn't just to cover the repairs - it was to make the whole room feel consistent and complete again. No obvious patches. No uneven sheen. Just clean, uniform walls and a ceiling that looks like it was never touched.

What you end up with is a living room that feels pulled together. The crown molding, the fireplace surround, the trim - all of it pops a lot more when the walls and ceiling behind it are in good shape. Good plaster work is one of those things that mostly goes unnoticed when it's done right, which is exactly the point.

If your walls or ceiling have been on your mind - cracks, bubbling, water damage, old patches that were never finished right - that's what we do. Solid prep, clean execution, and a finished result that holds up.
