Up here in De Pere we are on day 2 of taping and plaster work for this new home.
In order to do a plaster skip trowel finish on your home, you will need to have plaster board installed versus typical sheet rock. Then you tape and bed coat all your angles, joints, and seams. Then you skim over everything and apply a finish of texture by lightly skipping over the skim coat by hand.
This is a very durable finish and a forgiving finish to repair. However, plaster takes roughly 5 to 7 days before painting can be applied. Overall, this is a preference thing for the Homeowner, but it seems to be becoming more popular as of late.
