"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"

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

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

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.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.
