Rebel Venetian — est. Truckee, CA
Venetian plaster, hand-applied, in the greater Tahoe area.
The premium finish that goes on after drywall. Walls and surfaces built to last, designed to feel like art.
Why plaster
Paint covers a wall. Plaster becomes one.
01
It moves with the light
02
You want to touch it
03
Paint dies. Plaster ages.
Who runs it
I’m a plasterer.
That’s the whole job.
I’ve been in the trades thirty-five years and never stopped working with my hands. Plaster is what I went deep on. Italian lime, troweled wet, finished by hand. Nothing on the wall but skill and material.
Novacolor named me to their 2026 class of ambassadors, then I won their bootcamp in Venice. I teach this trade internationally and I run a crew here that does whole homes, commercial rooms and the occasional commission.

Five stars on Google
We put Rebel Venetian through the wringer, and they delivered. We push timelines, expect precision, and demand high-end results, and their team consistently rises to the occasion without compromising quality.
Their work in our Tahoe Modern showroom, five distinct wall applications, each with its own depth, movement, and character, speaks to a true mastery of the craft.
The quality of the work and materials, the timeliness, the communication are all some of the most professional I have ever worked with.
