The Craftsman
The Story
Master Plaster KD was built on a simple conviction: that the old ways are the right ways. Not because of nostalgia, but because lime, gypsum, and natural aggregates have been perfected over two thousand years — and no synthetic shortcut comes close.
Based in Baltimore, Maryland, we've spent three decades working on some of the most demanding plaster projects on the Eastern Seaboard — Gilded Age estates in Newport, landmarked row houses in Georgetown, French Quarter landmarks in New Orleans, and architecturally significant new commissions from coast to coast.
Every project we accept is reviewed before it begins. Every surface is considered. Every coat is applied by hand, with the patience the material demands.
Philosophy
We review every project before accepting it. This isn't gatekeeping — it's integrity. We only take work we can execute at the highest level.
Lime, marble dust, natural aggregates, and mineral pigments. We don't use synthetic binders or acrylic additives in traditional plaster applications.
Lime plaster cannot be rushed. Each coat must cure before the next is applied. We don't compress timelines at the expense of quality.
We don't scale by hiring and training on the job. Every hand on your project is experienced. Every application reflects the same standard.
If your project demands the highest standard in plaster craft, we'd like to hear about it.
