"I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe at Joe's Drywall Repair on restoring the plaster in my 1927 bungalow, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, Joe exceeded my expectations. The ceiling and wall restoration work was flawless—cracks were expertly repaired, and the retexturing matched the original finish perfectly, preserving the vintage charm of my home. One of the standout aspects of working with Joe was his punctuality and professionalism. He was consistently on time, and I was always informed about the stages of the job, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Communication was clear and responsive throughout, and I felt confident every step of the way. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the quality of work and the experience of working with Joe. If you're looking for a restoration specialist who truly understands the craft, I highly recommend Joe's Drywall Repair!"

"John power washed the entire house. A few days later, he appeared with a full crew for the job.  After carefully protecting and covering all of my new windows, the old stucco was preped and the new stucco applied.  The house looks like new and has an updated stucco pattern and we get rave reviewsabout how great it looks.  The crew was very professional and cleaned up everything perfectly when the job was completed.

"Efrain and his crew were on time every day of the job.  They prepped, painted, repaired and cleaned up every day.  He was extremely professional and contacted us every evening about the next day's work.  He was very responsive via email with last minute questions and instructions.  At the end of the job he did a walk through with us and found things we didn't even notice.  We are very picky about lines and we were very happy with the straight lines between rooms and especially above the baseboards.  Not only will we use him again, but we highly recommend him.

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

Like many other repair projects, the cost to fix a behind-the-wall shower leak depends on several factors. The cost of your repair may depend on the type of leak (from a clog or burst pipe), type of piping, and location of the leak. The extent of the issue and how difficult it is to access the pipes can greatly impact and increase your price. On average, you can expect to pay around $150 to $600 to repair a leaking shower.

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.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.
