Eight finishes, mixed to the room.
Every job starts with samples made on site, in the room's own light — because plaster that looks right in a shop looks like something else under a restaurant's lamps. Nothing goes on a wall until you have seen it where it will live.

About Conor
A trade learned by hand, run like a business.
Conor Foy has been finishing walls in New York since 2002. The work is done on site by a small crew who have been together a long time, with material mixed to the room rather than ordered off a shelf.
What changed over twenty-three years is everything around the trowel. Estimating, scheduling, daily logs, invoicing, payroll — we rebuilt all of it, then built the software to run it. Architects and general contractors now hire us as much for the way a job is managed as for the finish at the end.
If you are drawing a room and want to know what a surface can actually do, that conversation is free, and we enjoy having it.
Consulting
Hire the judgment, not just the crew.
Three ways people bring us in before a trowel touches a wall.
