Plastering

Scratch coat Monday, brown Wednesday, finish Friday. Cure times do not wait for invoices.

Plaster runs on coats and cure times. A three-coat stucco job takes a week of show-up-and-work. Interior skim coats need a Level 5 finish in good light. Clients want to know what they are paying for, and there are no shortcuts that hold up.

Jobkore runs from the phone. Quote from the site, invoice after each coat cures, and collect online before the next mixer arrives.

A plaster bid is prep, lath, scratch, brown, and finish.

A three-coat stucco job is not one line. Lath and wire, scratch coat, brown coat, finish coat, cure time, color integral, trim. An interior skim to Level 5 is prep, skim, sand, and finish. Build the estimate in sections so the client sees what each coat takes.

The homeowner understands why a quality plaster job costs what it does. The GC sees a defensible breakdown.

Change orders for what the old finish is hiding.

You pull a damaged section and find the lath is shot. The substrate is wet. The homeowner decides to change the finish texture after the scratch coat is already up. Write each as a change order against the original bid — scope, price, signature — before the next coat goes on.

Deposit for lath, draw at brown, final at finish.

Plaster jobs bill naturally in stages. A deposit covers lath and mobilization. A draw hits when the brown coat is complete. Final comes after the finish coat cures and passes inspection. Pull every invoice from the same estimate so the math stays clean.

Hank AI™ drafts the bid before you leave the site.

You measured the surfaces, photographed the existing condition, and noted the finish the client wants and any substrate issues. Hand those notes to Hank AI™ and in seconds the estimate is structured by coat and surface. Your rates go on top.

Hank never invents square footage, rates, or margins. It organizes what you measured.

Send the invoice with a payment link. Stripe processes at their standard rate. Jobkore adds nothing on top.
