"I worked with Edgar, he communicated well and followed through on completing the job. We had the stucco around our windows repaired and our plaster ceiling repaired. We are happy with the results. He and his crew were attentive to details and they cleaned up the outside of our house well after they finished their work. We live in Sacramento, and he let me know that he is willing to travel to jobs in Sacramento or the bay area."

"Long story short, we finally got the courage to trust a company to remodel our master bathroom. Let's just say by having someone by our side, from helping us pick out tile flooring to new light fixtures. Aviv really made this a fun process and I will most definitely be hiring Goodfellas construction on future projects."

"It took a couple of phone calls to get Ray to call us initially. When he first came to the house, he had his wife and a friend waiting in the car for him, so he could not stay long enough to take measurments; however, he did come back the next evening as promised. He told us that he would have an estimate to us by the next evening, but we did not receive it until 2 or 3 days later. Honestly, we were SHOCKED when he saw Ray's estimate. It was $6,500 higher than the highest bid and $10,000 higher than the lowest bid that we had already received! Obiviously, we did not choose Costello Plastering because his price was way too high."

"


The crew came out a few days before painting to pressure wash our house. They returned and started taping and preparing for paint. They completed all necessary small repairs to the house prior to paint. We gave them the paint colors and they went and bought the paint for us. They extended the deal they received on the paint to us. They completed all the work per agreement. They did a great job and they were very pleasant to work with. We had no troubles at all. They are very busy people so the communication wasn't always on time, but; when it came down to it they did what they said they would do and our house looks like a brand new house! We are very happy with the work they performed. Thanks

"We are so lucky we found Frederick Jones! Frederick was responsive, communicative, punctual and respectful of our space and time. But most importantly, his team's work was impeccable. Our architect-designed 1957 mid-century modern home has been given a new life thanks to Frederick's commitment to quality. He gave us sound advice on technique and products and he took very seriously our unique home's needs. His team's prep work was meticulous and when the few minor hiccups arose, they were very eager to make things right immediately.  His strong, long-standing relationship with his team (who speak perfect English, which made things run even more smoothly) showed. While his team was completely trust-worthy, Frederick would visit the site regularly to check in and make sure that every i was dotted and t was crossed. He also worked well with the carpenter/contractor who was prepping the home for painting (fixing dry rot, building new trellis, etc.)."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.
