I went with Discount Mechanical Heating and Plumbing Services again. The guys did a great job repairing my gas line despite the few hiccups we had with city inspectors which was not their fault. It is a very great company and very great employees and service to attention. I highly recommend them.

Each time the repairs came to about $1800. The Ford V-10 had been worked on at another shop and turned out running badly afterward. Took it in to Moore and Son's and it gave them fits until they found the spark plug gap was wrong. They would not charge for the extra time it took to find the...

Randy did what was needed and told me about things that were also needing a fix. He asked to make the repairs before he did them. He uses quality parts and does not use temporary fixes. Done right the first time.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Plaster walls last 30 to 70 years, although expertly applied and well-maintained plaster can last for centuries. That’s why it’s important to leave plaster installation to a pro, treat cracks as needed, and have a pro inspect any concerning cracks as soon as possible. These efforts can greatly extend the life of your plaster walls for decades to come.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.

Regular dusting, avoiding moisture exposure, and sealing cracks early help maintain longevity.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.
