There are 2 finish options, "rough finish" (seen in the bottom of picture) where the bulk of plaster is removed but some will remain boned, or "clean finish" (seen in center of the picture) where brick is scrubbed to remove as much plaster as possible.
Plaster often has lead based paint present so all EPA lead safe work practices are adhered too.

This tile base weights on average about 40lbs per square foot. To be removed this slab must be broken up into manageable pieces and removed. When piping is present in slab this often means breaking the slab into very small pieces to create the possibility for removal.
