General contracting services form the backbone of construction and remodeling projects. A contractor oversees all aspects of a job — from planning and budgeting to sourcing materials, hiring trades, and ensuring quality standards are met. This role is crucial for keeping projects organised, efficient, and on track.

In Sydney, general contractors work across diverse building types, including residential homes, office spaces, retail outlets, and large-scale developments. They coordinate multiple trades such as plasterers, painters, carpenters, and tilers, ensuring every element of the project integrates seamlessly. Clients benefit from having a single point of contact who manages the details while providing regular updates.

A professional contractor not only ensures that the work is completed correctly but also addresses compliance with building codes, safety standards, and council regulations. This level of oversight reduces the risk of costly mistakes or delays.

Choosing an experienced contractor makes the difference between a smooth, stress-free project and one filled with challenges. Our general contracting services focus on delivering quality workmanship, clear communication, and long-lasting results for every client.

Crown moulding installation adds character, detail, and sophistication to any interior. It is a decorative trim placed where walls meet ceilings, creating a polished and elegant look. This feature has been used in homes for centuries and continues to be a timeless addition in both modern and traditional settings.

The process involves precise measurement and careful cutting to ensure clean joins and symmetry. Skilled plasterers or carpenters shape, install, and finish the molding so that it appears seamless. Materials vary from plaster to timber or even lightweight alternatives, depending on the property’s requirements.

In Sydney, crown moulding is particularly popular in heritage homes, where ornate designs complement the property’s history. However, minimalist styles are also trending in modern apartments and new builds, offering a clean, refined finish.

Beyond aesthetics, crown moulding can hide imperfections where ceilings and walls meet, adding both function and beauty. It’s a small detail that makes a significant impact, transforming ordinary rooms into spaces with architectural charm.

The kitchen is often the busiest part of a Sydney home. With constant cooking, steam, and day-to-day activity, walls and ceilings here take more of a beating than in any other room. Over time, plaster can start to crack, absorb moisture, or lose its smooth finish, making the whole space feel tired. That’s why kitchen plastering isn’t just cosmetic—it’s about creating a surface that’s durable, easy to maintain, and ready for a fresh finish.

At Art of Plaster, we’ve worked on kitchen plastering jobs from Bondi apartments needing quick touch-ups to family homes in Marrickville where entire ceilings had to be replaced after water damage. In newer builds, we’re often asked to skim or float walls for a smooth, modern look before cabinets and tiles go in. In older homes, it’s usually about repairing cracked plaster, fixing sagging ceilings, and blending repairs into decorative cornices or ceiling roses.

One client told us after their kitchen project: “John from Art of Plaster was very Professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend if you want a good tradesman. We were completely happy with work done in our kitchen.” – Carl Swann

That’s exactly what we aim for—plasterwork that makes the kitchen feel clean, finished, and ready to handle daily life. Smooth walls make painting sharper, repaired ceilings keep the space looking solid, and decorative plasterwork ties the kitchen back into the style of the rest of the home.

We approach kitchen plastering with the same attention to detail we bring to heritage restoration. Surfaces are prepared properly, cracks and water damage are repaired fully, and every finish is applied with care. In Sydney’s conditions—where humidity, coastal air, and sudden leaks are common—this makes all the difference in how long the work lasts.

Partition walls are one of the easiest ways to reshape a space. We’ve seen them used everywhere in Sydney—families in Marrickville creating a study nook inside a lounge, shop owners in Newtown dividing up their retail space, or offices in the CBD needing new meeting rooms. What makes them work isn’t just the framing—it’s the plastering. A well-finished plaster surface turns a simple frame into a solid, clean wall that feels like it was always part of the building.

Over the years, we’ve been called to fix plenty of poorly finished partitions. Uneven joints, cracks along the seams, and flimsy plasterboards that mark easily—these are common problems when the job’s rushed. Our approach is slower but deliberate: boards fitted properly, joints carefully set, surfaces skimmed smooth. By the time it’s ready for paint, the wall looks like it’s always been there.

One of our clients shared their experience after we helped them in their salon: “We used John for our gyprock to fix up the partition wall and extend it, also to fix the old long wall that was falling apart and falling apart all the way through! John was very professional and efficient he is a master of his trade. As soon as John was finished the salon looked modern and brand new. We recommend John to everyone he is amazing.” – Aida Abouzeid

That kind of response tells you what proper partition wall plastering can do—it doesn’t just divide a room, it refreshes it. The wall looks sharp, feels solid, and becomes part of the flow of the space.

In Sydney’s mix of heritage terraces, modern apartments, and busy commercial spaces, partition wall plastering is often the simplest way to create new possibilities without rebuilding. At Art of Plaster, we take pride in making those new walls strong, seamless, and ready to use from the day they’re finished.
