Plastering Invoice Template

A plastering invoice documents interior plaster or exterior stucco work including base coat, scratch coat, finish coat, labor per square yard, and specialty textures. Generate professional plasterer invoices with NetInvoice's free template for traditional plaster and modern stucco systems.

Why this invoice template matters

Plaster work is a skilled trade involving multiple coats and precise timing that affects quality. Detailed invoices show each coat application, drying time between coats, and finish texture or smoothness level. This helps customers understand why quality plaster takes longer than drywall and why skilled plasterers command premium rates. Good invoicing also documents plaster type (lime, gypsum, acrylic), base materials (metal lath, mesh), and warranty coverage for cracking or delamination.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does plastering cost per square foot?
Traditional three-coat plaster costs $8-$15/sq ft installed. Veneer plaster over blueboard costs $4-$8/sq ft. Exterior stucco costs $6-$12/sq ft. Smooth finishes cost 20-30% more than textured due to skill required.
What's the difference between plaster coats?
Scratch coat bonds to lath ($2-$3/sq ft), brown coat levels surface ($2-$3/sq ft), finish coat provides final texture ($2-$4/sq ft). Each must cure properly. Specify all coats on invoices to show work involved.
Should plastering invoices separate materials from labor?
Yes, itemize lath, plaster by coat, corner beads, and accessories separately from skilled labor. Plastering is highly skilled work ($40-$75/hr) that deserves clear documentation separate from materials.
How long does plaster take to cure?
Plaster requires 24-48 hours between coats and 30 days for full cure before painting. Note curing requirements on invoices to prevent customer complaints about timeline and set proper expectations.
