Ornamental Plaster Restoration in St. Louis, MO
Ornamental plaster adds character, depth, and craftsmanship to historic and contemporary interiors. Woemmel Plastering creates, repairs, and restores decorative plaster details throughout St. Louis.
Custom ornamental plaster details
We work with ceiling medallions, crown moulding, cornices, friezes, wall panels, decorative mouldings, arches, and other architectural details. New work can be designed to complement the room, while restoration work is matched to the existing scale, profile, and finish.
Historic plaster restoration
Older homes and significant buildings often have decorative plaster that is difficult to replace with modern materials. We assess the original detail, repair damaged areas, and use traditional craftsmanship where appropriate to preserve the building’s character.
Repair, replacement, and texture matching
Cracks, water damage, impact, settling, and renovations can all affect ornamental plaster. We can repair individual sections, recreate missing details, and match textures so the finished work looks consistent with the surrounding surface.

Frequently asked questions
Can damaged ornamental plaster be repaired?
Often, yes. The best approach depends on the condition of the plaster, the amount of missing detail, and whether the surrounding surface is stable.
Can you match existing moulding or medallions?
We can evaluate the existing profile and recommend repair, replication, or replacement options designed to blend with the original detail.

How much does ornamental plaster restoration cost?
The scope depends on the profile and quantity of decorative work, how much original material remains, the condition of its support and access to the detail. Matching or recreating a missing section can involve different work from repairing a flat surface. Contact our office to discuss the project and assessment.
What should I tell you about a damaged plaster moulding?
Tell us where the property is located, which detail is affected, whether parts are missing and whether water damage or earlier repair work is involved. Mention any historic preservation requirements so they can be considered when the work is reviewed.
