At Old World Plastering, based in Cincinnati, OH, owner Greg Colina offers ornamental restoration services and plaster repair for everything from large churches to the smallest ornaments. When not handling more typical plaster repair jobs, such as stucco repair, he takes on the kinds of projects that not many others can handle, restoring statues and other prized items. A current ornamental restoration project he’s working on involves recreating two 100-year-old ornamental flamingos for a client. 

These aren’t the pink flamingoes most people think of when they imagine how such a lawn ornament might look. Modern versions are generally made of plastic and are of little value. The flamingoes that Greg Colina and his team are working on are much more subtle and impressive in design. The original sculptor worked hard to ensure that their texture matched the feather pattern of real flamingoes, and the coloring was also an impressive match.

However, like many other ornamental plaster items, they’ve worn over time. One flamingo needed a total neck restoration. Much of the paint is entirely gone, and that which remains is faded. That’s why the owner got in touch with the experts at Old World Plastering, in Cincinnati, OH, to handle the plaster restoration work. Over the years, he’s cultivated a reputation for delivering quality results, no matter what kind of plaster services you’re in the market for. His specialized skills allow him to take on unique and special projects such as this that other contractors may not.
