"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!!!"

"I've used Apex Premier for both Stucco and Drywall work over the years on my house, big projects to small repairs and patches. The work is high quality, well organized, and well thought out. You will always get an honest answer from them. The communication is the best in the biz, the attention to detail is the best in the biz. I wish I could find this commitment to work from all contractors, but that is just not the case at all, quite refreshing."

"We remodeled our kitchen, which I?ve heard can be a nightmare! Not for us! I have to say that all the crafts people from the demo guys, plumbing, drywall, patch, and paint, carpenters were all top notch, professional, courteous, and polite.? They did not disturb my neighbors, they arrived each morning when they said they would, and cleaned up every day.?? Highly recommend!"

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

Ensures structural integrity and aesthetic consistency with proper materials and techniques.

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

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.
