01
Hit the date.
A plaster sub that misses a date holds up paint, trim, and finish — every trade after us pays the price. We commit to a schedule and we hit it, including the cure windows between coats.
37 years.
1,500+ jobs.
One family.
Richartz Plastering has been a family-run subcontractor in Southern California since 1989. We don't chase volume — we build long relationships with a small list of general contractors who know what good plaster work looks like.
A family trade,
passed forward.
The company started in 1989 with one truck, one license, and a handful of South Bay contractors who needed a plaster sub they could trust on a Friday afternoon.
37 years later, the work hasn't changed much — wet coats still go on at the right thickness in the right weather, lath still goes up square or it doesn't go up at all. What's grown is the bench: a crew of foremen and journeymen who've been with us for years, several since their first job out of trade school.
We've stayed family-owned because that's how the work stays honest. When you call our office, you're talking to the same people who walked your last job.
What We Stand For
Three things,
every job.
02
Square at the lath.
Almost every plaster failure traces back to a substrate that wasn't right. We inspect framing, paper, and lath before a single drop of mud goes on. The inspector's job is to confirm, not to find problems.
03
Same hands, finish coat.
The finish coat is the only one the owner sees. We assign a single finishing crew to a job from start to close-out so the texture reads consistent across every wall and every elevation.

You can tell which subs run a tight ship the first time you walk a Richartz job. Lath is straight, coats are uniform, and the punch list is short. They make our schedule look smart.
