"This company is absolutely amazing! When I say my apartment was BAD, I definitely mean it. We had been in the place for almost 7 years, and it looked SO awful. They came in, and reassured me they were going to be able to take on this big task in one day. I was so worried there was no coming back, but it looks AMAZING! The owners are so friendly. They both reassured me that the apartment was just lived in and to not be hard on myself. They worked ALL day on Labor Day to finish up my apartment in one day. I honestly can't believe they were able to take on such a big job in one day! They helped give me peace of mind during an extremely stressful time. The carpets looked good as new when they were done. The kitchen was sparkling. And the bathroom was so clean, I hardly even recognized it! I will be telling everyone I know to use Pinball Custom Services!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster repair costs range from $4 to $10 per square foot for refinishing, while skim coating can be less expensive, usually between $2 and $5 per square foot. The price you pay for plaster repairs will depend on the extent of the damage, the type of plaster you have on your walls, and the accessibility of the damage. Plaster repair on the exterior of your home tends to be more expensive, as there’s a higher chance that ladders or scaffolding will be necessary to carry out the repair.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly.
