Three Coat Plaster in New Jersey: Restore Your Home’s Look

If you’re renovating your home or commercial property in New Jersey and want long-lasting, beautifully finished walls, three coat plaster is one of the most trusted and time-tested methods. While modern drywall is common in new construction, many property owners are now returning to traditional plaster systems for their durability, aesthetic quality, and ability to restore older homes to their former charm.

At Lituma Plastering, we specialize in three coat plaster applications throughout New Jersey, offering expert craftsmanship for both residential and commercial projects. Whether you're restoring a vintage home, building a custom pool house, or updating your office interiors, this classic plaster method delivers timeless quality and strength.

What Is Three Coat Plaster?

The three coat plaster system is a traditional method of wall finishing that involves applying three distinct layers:

• Scratch Coat – The first layer, applied directly to the lath (or masonry), provides a rough base for adhesion.
• Brown Coat – A leveling coat that builds the wall’s strength and evens out imperfections.
• Finish Coat –The final, smooth layer that gives the wall its finished look, ready for paint or decorative plaster.

This multi-layer process results in a wall that’s significantly stronger and more resistant to damage than drywall, while also offering superior soundproofing and insulation.

Why Choose Three Coat Plaster in New Jersey?

1. Ideal for Restoration Projects

Older homes and historic buildings throughout New Jersey were often built using this method. If you're restoring a historic space, three coat plaster is the best way to maintain its architectural integrity.

2. Long-Lasting Strength

Compared to modern wall systems, three coat plaster is more resistant to cracking, impact, and moisture—making it a durable choice for both interiors and exteriors.

3. Enhanced Aesthetics

The finish is smoother and more refined than drywall, and it serves as the perfect base for decorative techniques like Venetian plaster, moulding plaster, or even custom plaster moulding restorations.
