Our story
Every plaster company promises smooth walls. Ours is a promise we keep by working in the same, careful way on every single project, however large or small: every wall has its levels (bu’j wa awtar) set before plastering, and the final coat is only applied after the previous layers have dried completely.
We are not a general construction company. Plaster is our only trade, and our teams work only in Jeddah. That is how we control quality — from the first free visit to the last handover. Our work is the result of learning from every mistake, because plaster is the only thing we do.
Why our plaster does not crack
The three-layer method
Most cheap contractors apply a single coat and leave it to dry in the sun. We build up our plaster in three coats: tartasha (the scratch coat), bitana (the levelling coat) and zahara (the finish coat). Each coat has the right thickness, and the previous coat must be dry and roughened before the next one is applied.
Buaj & awtar — the only honest way to level
We set a minimum of three vertical guides (bu’j) and two horizontal cords (awtar) on every wall. A level is checked every two metres. We never trust our eyes alone — and we remove every guide, patch it and sand it smooth before handover.
Proper curing
Every layer is sprayed with water twice a day for 7 days. In Jeddah’s heat, un-cured plaster shrinks and cracks. Our full cure adds three days to your project and saves you from years of cracks.

Plastering in Jeddah — what to know
Finding a plastering company in Jeddah is easy. Finding one that leaves you with flat, crack-free walls is not. Most complaints about plaster in Jeddah are the same: cracks within months, hollow-sounding walls, uneven surfaces and paint that peels. The cause is almost always the same too — rushed work, no guides, no curing and a single thick coat instead of three thin ones. At Builds Jeddah we do the opposite: we measure every wall, set guides on every surface, apply three layers and cure each one properly. That is why our work comes with a written guarantee and why our customers recommend us to their neighbours.
Frequently asked questions
What does plastering cost in Jeddah?
There is no fixed price for plastering in Jeddah. The final per-metre rate depends on the wall condition, the plaster type and the scope. After a free inspection, we agree the final rate with you on a call and confirm it in a written quote, so there are no surprises later.
Do I need to remove paint or wallpaper?
Yes — old paint, wallpaper and loose plaster must be removed before plastering, otherwise the new plaster will not bond to the wall. Removal is charged separately, so check your quote before work starts. Our team can arrange this, and we will protect your furniture and floors.
How long does plaster take?
Internal plastering for a small apartment takes 5–7 days for one room or the whole apartment. A full villa takes 3–4 weeks, and a building takes 4–8 weeks. For a full villa, expect 3–4 weeks. External plastering depends on weather and scaffolding. We give you a written handover date before work starts.
How do I know if my plaster is bad?
Tap the wall — a hollow sound means the plaster has separated from the wall and needs to be cut out and re-plastered. Cracks wider than 2mm, salt stains (white powder), damp patches and bulging walls are all signs that the plaster has failed. We check this free of charge at your site visit.
Can I paint directly on new plaster?
No. New plaster needs to dry fully before painting — at least 28 days, or it will crack. After that, apply a primer, then two coats of paint. Skim coat gives a glass-smooth finish for paint.
What is the difference between cement plaster and gypsum?
Cement plaster is strong and moisture-resistant — ideal for walls, bathrooms and external surfaces. Gypsum plaster is smoother and faster to apply — ideal for ceilings and internal walls in dry areas. For the best result, we use cement plaster for the base coat and gypsum for the finish coat.
What is layasa and how is it different from plastering?
Layasa is the Arabic word for plastering. There is no difference in the work — it is the same craft, done by the same skilled hands. When you search for layasa in Jeddah, you are looking for a plastering contractor.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes. Every project comes with a written guarantee on workmanship — if the plaster cracks because of our work, we repair it free of charge. We also use only approved materials, mixed in the correct ratio for Jeddah’s climate.
Can I get a quote without a site visit?
We can give a rough estimate from your plans and photos, but a written quote needs a site visit. We measure your walls, check the condition and agree the final rate with you — free of charge, within 24 hours.
