Hello!
A question for the cleaning experts:
We are currently having a garage built by a construction company. Since it has so far been a series of failures, misfortunes, and mishaps, we are now only insecure about what we are being told.
Specifically, the openings for the garage doors were built about 8 cm too high. Therefore, Styrofoam pieces were glued in by the plasterer, and over them, lime-cement plaster was applied as a base coat. The result looked more like round arches than straight lintels. The base coat was corrected, but it is still crooked and uneven. Now they want to apply another layer of plaster to finally make it straight.
Is this a sensible, solid, and acceptable way to fix the problem, or will the stuff crumble off after a few years because several centimeters of plaster applied in multiple layers are not the best solution, and then the construction company will no longer be interested?
2nd question:
The garage was built directly attached to the long-standing house. The house has a colored rough plaster based on silicone. The garage is supposed to have a colored mineral plaster. The great plasterers also managed to smear or blot their lime-cement base plaster onto the adjacent house walls. The construction company now wants to apply a strip of the garage plaster onto the house wall to cover up the mess. Apart from the fact that we absolutely do not want this: Does this method have any lasting durability at all if two different types of plaster are applied on top of each other? Are there any other sensible options to fix the problem?
