"I hired Raymundo to plaster some walls and ceilings for me, I paid $1800.00, a week later the painters came and painted the walls, then they started blistering, the whole job was improperly prepped and has caused the painting job to not be done correctly, I called Raymundo and told him the problem, he sent somebody out to redo the work, Raymundo did pay my painter to re paint, the painter started painting and noticed I still have the same problem, now it is going to cost me approximately 3 times more that I paid to have the work done correctly, I had also had expensive flooring done and now I am worried about that. At that point, raymundo contacted me and asked if i wanted my money back and i said no i said i wanted it correctly done and raymundo stated it will be done correctly, he started sending his guys over and piece by piece every issue was resolved. Including multiple re-plastering and re-painting. This was done at no additional charge and they had a lot of integrity and perseverance in completing my project to my satisfaction"

"He came on time and he did the job just fine. He had the tools and the experience to put in deadbolts on the door as well as drill the holes for the bolt. Plus he was bilingual, which is an asset since sometimes in some areas, its hard to find someone who speaks English. I was satisfied with him and Servicemagic."

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.
