About Colm McAllister

 I'm Colm McAllister and bring decades of plastering and stucco experience to Sonoma County and beyond. I started working in the plastering industry in 1985 and came to the Bay Area in 1990 after the earthquake. I am still doing it today and prioritize licensed, insured work, as well as clear communication with builders and homeowners! I have completed many projects, mostly residential, initially in San Francisco and in Berkeley after the fire there. Currently, I am working on a project in Glen Elen, and I have a project in Los Altos on my schedule. I am excited to work on most any plaster lath project in the Bay Area. I currently reside in Petaluma and enjoy the outdoors. As an owner-operator, I lead Progressive Plastering with hands-on project supervision.
