The contact page below provides complete details on how to reach Dean, how consultations are handled and what information is helpful when preparing for an Italian plaster project.

How to contact Venetian Application Inc

Clients may contact Venetian Application Inc through phone or email during listed business hours. All inquiries are personally reviewed by Dean.

Phone: (818) 398-3864

Email: artisanplastering@yahoo.com

Business Hours: Monday through Friday, nine in the morning until six in the evening

Reaching out by phone is often the fastest way to receive guidance about which finish may suit your project, while email is useful for sending photographs, design references, architectural plans or descriptions of areas in need of repair or restoration.

What to include when contacting for a new project

To help provide accurate information and prepare for a successful consultation, clients are encouraged to share as much relevant detail as possible. Information that is helpful includes:



• room or area descriptions
• approximate square footage
• architectural features such as niches or curved walls
• lighting conditions
• whether the project is residential or commercial
• preferred finishes or inspiration references
• project timeline expectations

If clients are unsure which finish is appropriate, they can describe the atmosphere or visual effect they hope to achieve. Dean then recommends the finishes that best support the design vision.

Scheduling a consultation

Many projects begin with a brief phone consultation in which the client describes the objectives of the project. During this conversation, Dean may ask a series of questions to determine:



• the condition of existing surfaces
• the type of finish desired
• whether custom samples are needed
• the preparation required before plaster application
• estimated timing for installation

If desired, an on site consultation may be scheduled. On site visits allow Dean to evaluate lighting, substrate conditions and architectural details that influence the final result. This also provides an opportunity to review sample boards within the space to confirm colour and movement.

Requesting custom samples

Custom sample boards are an important part of the planning process. These samples demonstrate:



• colour accuracy
• mineral movement
• sheen level
• texture or smoothness
• how the finish interacts with lighting

Clients may request specific finishes such as Marmorino, Veneziano, Travertino, Pietra, Valentino, Pesto or one of the many artistic or stone inspired options. Dean prepares samples based on the client’s preferred tones and design intentions. Reviewing these samples helps ensure complete clarity before installation begins.

Contacting Venetian Application Inc for repairs

Plaster repair inquiries follow a slightly different process. Clients are encouraged to send photographs of the damaged areas so Dean can evaluate:



• the type of plaster originally applied
• the depth and extent of the damage
• whether the substrate requires correction
• the techniques needed to restore colour and texture
• the anticipated scope of the repair work

Because Italian plaster must be repaired using authentic lime based materials, repairs cannot be completed using paint or synthetic compounds. Providing images and details in advance allows Dean to determine the appropriate restoration approach.

How Venetian Application Inc serves designers and builders

Many designers, builders and architects work with Venetian Application Inc to incorporate authentic Italian finishes into their projects. Contact inquiries from trade professionals often include:

• architectural plans
• design renderings
• finish schedules
• lighting layouts
• mood boards or material palettes
• construction timelines

Dean reviews all documentation carefully to ensure the selected finishes align with the design intent. This process also includes determining which finishes will perform best in specific rooms, how to maintain consistency across large spaces and how lighting design influences colour perception.

Preparing for your upcoming project

Before work begins, clients may be asked to prepare the space in one or more of the following ways:

• clearing furniture or fragile items from the work area
• providing access to walls, ceilings or architectural details
• ensuring lighting is operational for accurate colour evaluation
• coordinating schedules with other trades if necessary



Dean provides clear guidance on any preparation needed. Because Italian plaster requires precision, maintaining a clean, accessible workspace is important for achieving optimal results.

Why direct contact matters in Italian plaster work

Italian plaster is an artisan craft that depends heavily on communication between the client and the craftsman. Direct contact with the artisan ensures:



• a clear understanding of design goals
• accurate finish recommendations
• precise colour matching
• correct surface preparation
• alignment of expectations before installation begins

Every project benefits from open discussion about materials, timelines, desired effects and long term maintenance.
