What began as one of Southern California’s original lath and plaster companies has grown into one of the wall and ceiling industry's leading full service, design-assist, specialty finish and theming contractors that continuously receives acclaim for its projects, safety focus, and employee-oriented culture.  We started with lath and plaster work.  We added drywall.  Today, we use some of the most advanced technologies to help model, plan, and design projects throughout the Western U.S.
