Wall finishes in Boise Bench
Lime, Roman clay, and microcement for Boise Bench homes.
Mostly 1940 to 1955
What the houses here are built like
Postwar bungalows and early ranches across several smaller neighborhoods that function as one continuous district. A lot of it has been through at least one remodel, so we regularly find drywall layered directly over original plaster, which sounds solid and is not always fastened well.
Usually the right call
Microcement in Boise Bench
Where drywall was layered over plaster, a reinforced microcement base bridges the seam better than a soft finish would.
A thin cement composite that cures hard and continuous. No grout lines, no seams, nothing for mold to hold onto. The answer for bathrooms and kitchens.
Typically $18 to $32 per square foot installed.
