Every time i think im getting pretty decent at building, i see the work you guys do and realize how little i know😂 the attention to detail and quality control is staggering. Absolutely amazing
I specified 2-coat veneer plaster for a large institutional job in Southern CT a few years ago and despite some initial minor resistance the CM noted that he really liked the fact that there was little or no dust to contend with. It was a little rough finding skilled personnel in our region to do the work within the schedule window but the results were worth it. It is interesting to see how common veneer plaster is in Massachusetts, particularly in the Boston area particularly for ceilings…even in mid-range remodeling work.
As a UK based plasterer, I really like the spotlight recess with a built in bead around it. What happens here is a hole will either be drilled before, or after plastering (if the electrician has a plan). Plastering is all in the prep work. Level boards/stud work/beading make it far easier! I’ve also done curved walls before…..they’re a pain in the a**!
I would love to see you do a full video with the cabinet finishers, especially if they're using waterborne 2k systems. That would really help with the industry moving away from lacquer.
The concept I'm working with is a cob home in a high-fire area. That means no wood and no paper. The roof is rebar and steel I beam. The walls are cob. Now, what am I going to use for lath so I can have a cob ceiling?
How durable is plaster, how long does it last, and how difficult is it to repair compared to sheet rock? Where I come from they stopped doing plaster maybe in the 50's and have used sheet rock since.
It’s still the most common method in Ireland and the uk for walls and ceilings. Much more durable and long lasting than drywall with taped joints. In North America it’s not common so it’s expensive , and very hard to find plasters and proper bonding mix and plaster mix. It’s quick though. You only need to put mesh tape on the joints and no filler. There is no sanding and it’s great for feathering out wallows and bellies in the walls.
It’s per project, not SF. This project is a mix between true screed two cost, labor intensive and “slow” mixed with some more traditional single cost in other rooms, depends on the level we need and the expectations
@@NSBuilders I understand that the process is time consuming given the outcome. Therefor the price will be higher. I was curious to know around what price a project like this might go for. We rarely see this quality in construction today. Lost art. Glad to see it’s still being applied. Will look amazing and last forever. Love the channel.
As a plasterer the process of skimming over blue is stright forward a first coat is put on than a second coat after the first has Pulled in for 15,20 minutes, why are they useing darbys on ceilings the max thickness should only be about 3/16 it is not scratch brown and skim work And what is with the lines in the trade 30 years
I think they are loosely stapled into the frame and can be pulled at a later time. It is just neater than sitting curled up so it won't snag or tangle.
I’m extremely curious as to the financial side of things. I have always been intrigued of doing things to this caliper. But 97% of people don’t want to pay for this level of work.
Work for the 3%. align your product with people who value great craftsmanship. If you can’t, learn to educate people on great craftsmanship and convert those who are open to being converted.
Thanks to everyone for all the love and thanks to NS Builders for elevating our craft and allowing us to bring this level of work to Boston.

You have to show a video on the plastering of the stairway. That process sounds very cool
Can’t wait to see the staircase installed! Would love to see that plaster jig for the staircase in action. As always amazing level of craftsmanship!
Please hold. Loading….
Excellent work! I can't wait to see them basecoat the stairwell! More people should build to this level.
Wish we could always do this, depends on client expectations and of course budget.
Building to the highest professional grade! Love it!
appreciate these videos explaining details like this!

Stair plastering video is a must

Who did this HVAC system if you don't mind asking? Love the quality... You can see right away. Thanks
Is there any sanding involved?
WOW!!!
Respect
How much does a plaster job like this cost per square foot?

Not sure I follow the question, but there’s a few ways to accomplish the result
4:18 Did he ever explain the zigzagging wires in the stud bays?
in case you need to move the box a little
I think they are loosely stapled into the frame and can be pulled at a later time. It is just neater than sitting curled up so it won't snag or tangle.
Thanks guys.
Why plaster and not regular drywall and mud
It’s what we do in Boston
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this level of building in my life.
Never realized how meticulous you could get.
Thanks Rob

@@NSBuilders what are some valuable books you have read that have opened your eyes wider to some of these things?
