I hope this is the right subforum; if not, please move it.
During a conversation yesterday with my potential plasterer, he advised against using brushed plaster, as it tends to get dirty very quickly.
I should mention that I live in a very quiet area (few cars) with not many trees nearby.
The plaster color will be a gray/ochre shade, so not a dirt-prone white.
Now I have an offer, and he wants an additional charge of €11.36 (+ VAT) per m² (square meter) for the brushed plaster.
This seems quite high to me.
Can anyone estimate if this is realistic or just a price meant to discourage me?

Castle wall plaster would be my favorite!
Then, of course, you would need a little turret as well...LOL – and how do you manage to attach the stones to the external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS)? But still cute, inventing a new type of exterior plaster just like that ;-)D
Daniel_939 Nov 2023 16:02What type of plaster is the additional cost based on?
Probably standard roughcast plaster? If so, the price is reasonable due to the significantly higher effort required for application.
Also, consider how you want the broom finish to look—there can be huge variations in texture and style!
I also think that, combined with the wood, it might be too much. I really like both the broom finish texture and the wood accents individually, which I’m seeing more often in my region, but I haven’t actually seen them used together before.
Maybe because the overall appearance becomes too busy?
