"Javier and his crew did an outstanding job on re-stuccoing my home from a very course finish to a fine finish. He and his crew showed up on time, answered all of my questions, addressed all of my concerns, met all of my expectations, and all at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Javier for any stucco/plastering jobs."

"A car hit my house. It did structural damage and blew a 3-foot hole in the stucco. I got 4 estimates, and Innovation Plastering’s was the best value. Jesus and his crew showed up exactly when they promised and worked efficiently and expertly. Day 1 they fixed the structure and did the underlying prep for the stucco. Day 2 they did the actual stucco work, which matches the existing pattern exactly. Day 3 they painted, and no one would ever know that any damage had been done. I’ve already recommended Innovation Plastering to my brother for work he needs at his house."

"I had an outer wall that was retaining moister and had to be fixed before mold set in. PPC removed drywall, and outside plaster and replaced it all. Alfredo was great to work with. He gave me a reasonable quote, communicated well and got the job done in a timely manner. I will hire them again."

"I needed a couple of walls textured and a little bit of repair and it just so happened that he had an opening the morning that I called. He came right over and took care of me, even going above and beyond my expectations. He was really great and I would definitely refer him to anyone. I did not get other estimates, therefor cannot comment on the price."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.
