"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

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

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.

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.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

It depends on the construction of your wall. Most handypeople can fix small holes in drywall. If your wall is plaster or brick, more significant damage may require a drywall contractor or a mason. Hiring a handyperson costs less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.
