How We Work

What working with us looks like.

Most specialty subs need to be managed. We don’t ask for that. Every part of how Senza operates is built around reducing your management load — not adding to it.

Pre-Construction

Itemized takeoffs, drawing conflict reviews, and value-engineering options before the job breaks ground. Not a lump sum you can't defend.

Coordination

We own our intersections with MEP, millwork, and framing. You get one call when something needs your attention — not ten.

On Site

A dedicated foreman on every job. Self-inspected under raking light before any finish coat. No punch list surprises at project end.

Closeout

O&M manuals, warranty letters to the owner. Your closeout package is stronger because of us.

Specialty Finishes

When the spec calls for something extraordinary.

Senza is the call GCs make across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast when the drawings show something no standard drywall sub can deliver — the finishes that close the bid on high-end hospitality, cultural, and commercial projects from Charlotte to Washington, DC.

Venetian plaster & marmorino

Hand-applied luxury finishes with depth and sheen no paint system replicates. The preferred specification for hospitality and high-end residential across DC, Charlotte, and Raleigh.

Integral-color acoustic plaster

Meets NRC targets and eliminates the painting trade from your schedule. Third-party performance data submitted with every acoustic specification.

Custom color matching

Speeds architect approvals and eliminates RFIs. Essential for renovations and phased projects across Maryland, Virginia, and DC.

Structural paneling & stenciling

Feature walls, ceilings, and architectural details with full shop drawings and section details at every transition point.

Repair & restoration

For occupied renovations, landmark buildings, and phased projects. From DC federal buildings to historic Charleston properties — precision matching, not approximation.

Mockup execution

Full-thickness, full-finish mockups with written architect sign-off. Kept on site as the approved reference standard for the project duration.

One Sub, Every Detail

The finish the architect drew, delivered on your schedule —
without landing on your desk.

Our Process

How we work with GCs.

Every phase mapped to your schedule, every trade intersection resolved before it becomes a problem. This is how Senza operates on every project from Wilmington to Washington.

Pre-bid drawing review

We review your drawings before you bid and surface every plaster-specific conflict — MEP, millwork, expansion joints, substrate readiness. Problems raised in the estimating phase cost nothing to fix.

Submittals & trade coordination

We own our submittal log. Product data, mix designs, system assemblies, shop drawings — submitted, tracked, and approved. We raise trade conflicts in the coordination meeting, not on the floor.

Phased application plan

A coat-by-coat schedule mapped to your master timeline. Cure windows, conditioning requirements, and protection sequencing documented before we mobilize — not discovered during the job.

Quality control & self-inspection

Every finish inspected under raking light before the next trade touches it. Daily photo log maintained throughout. Pre-close inspection on every room before punch list opens.

Owner closeout package

As-builts with mix designs and batch numbers, O&M manuals, warranty letters addressed to the owner, and attic stock where specified. Everything your closeout needs, delivered without being asked.

In the Field

They are there for us when we need samples quickly and bend over backwards to be sure that the design intent is met. We have partnered for many years on many amazing projects.”
