Q: Can I use spackle on plaster walls?

• <div><p>Only use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spackle-vs-putty.htm">spackle on plaster walls</a> when the imperfection is small. It&rsquo;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&rsquo;t risk further damage.</p></div>

Q: Are cracks in plaster walls serious?

• <div><p>All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.</p><p>Here's how to tell the difference:</p><ul><li><p><b>Cosmetic Cracks:</b> Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.</p></li><li><p><b>Structural Cracks:</b> Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.</p></li></ul><p>For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.</p></div>

Q: How much does plastering a wall cost?

• <div><p>Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between <b>$2 and $10</b> <b>per square foot</b> for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you&rsquo;re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.</p></div>

Q: Does plaster repair improve energy efficiency?

• <div><p>In most cases, plaster repair will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-energy-efficiency-checklist.htm">improve your home&rsquo;s energy efficiency</a> because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills.

We hired them to install drywall after a flood where the lower half of the walls had to be ripped off. They were prompt, courteous, and accommodating. At a first glance, their work seemed to be very good, but the finishing part was not around the plug ins, lower part, and corners.
