Wall finishes in East End
Lime, Roman clay, and microcement for East End homes.
Mixed, 1890s Victorians through contemporary foothill builds
What the houses here are built like
A genuine split personality. Lower East End still has the Victorians it was built on, many with original plaster in the front rooms. Higher up toward the foothills the houses get newer fast, with contemporary construction and full vapor control. We often find both wall types in one renovation, which is the whole reason we check before we quote.
Usually the right call
Roman Clay in East End
Formal rooms in the older section reward a finish with visible depth, and the newer wet rooms up the hill take microcement without caveats.
Natural clay and lime putty, laid on in overlapping passes. Every stroke stays visible. Made for the rooms you want people to notice.
Typically $10 to $18 per square foot installed.
