"We recently had the pleasure of working with JC Construction for drywall repair and interior painting throughout our home, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, courteous, and highly skilled. Juan offered expert advice on the best way to handle the drywall repairs. The finish was exceptional and no dusty mess. We also had them paint the entire interior and every room looks fresh, vibrant, and beautifully transformed including a gorgeous paneled accent wall in our bedroom. The precision and attention to detail was particularly impressive and the clean-up after the job was done left our home looking spotless. Juan communicated clearly throughout the entire process. There is a true commitment to customer satisfaction that you rarely find in a construction company, especially at such an affordable price. We used them for drywall and painting services, but we highly recommend JC Construction for any home construction project. They exceeded our expectations in every way!"

"Kevin is very professional and knowledgeable about stucco wall installation and repair. He is a true expert in anything related to stucco. He presented us with a reasonable estimate after he assessed the damaged exterior wall. His timeline from start to end of project was on target (about 1 month). The work crew is very punctual, hardworking and cleans up the area nicely after each day. Kevin and his team updated us daily on the project so that we knew what to expect next. Nugent Plastering did great work on my new stucco wall and we will consider hiring Nugent Plastering for future projects"

"Great company to work with. Excellent knowledge of materials and applications. Skilled labor that will give you a beautiful end result. Always on time(earlier than the arrived time). They take there time to set up plastic and ram board to protect all the finish surfaces in the house. You can find a cheaper guy buy you’ll pay more to get Mr Guerras Lathing and Plastering to fix the other guys work!!!! Highly recommend Guerras Lathing and Plastering for all small or big projects. Just awesome work will be booking him for my other three projects!!!"

"Excellent.  This is a two day work order.  They provided me with a preparation check list to do prior to their arrival (which I complied). The checklist also explained what work they would be performing and what they would not be doing.  They arrived promptly. They began repair on the 2' x4' sheetrock in the ceiling (caused by upstairs leaking toilet upstairs) . They encased the house with plastic so that they popcorn ceiling could be removed. Then they retextured and painted all of the ceilings.  They cleaned up and performed a walk-through of the completion of work to address any concerns if needed. I was very happy with their quality of workmanship.

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.
