"Valles is A Plastering. Joaquin and crew are hardworking and honest. Didn’t have to worry about anything going missing or being overcharged. (They bring their own porta- potty, so no workmen need to come in the house) They want to do things right and are very versatile at fixing things they come across that need fixed. My house is very old, so there were things like dry rot, termite damage, drainage issues and several other things that needed addressed and were. Stucco work is excellent. Very capable. Very professional. Paid attention to detail and cleaned up after themselves every day. Really appreciated that. Feels like I have a brand new house that is so beautiful and looks like I had imagined it would. My neighbors really like it too."

"I am remodeling my bathroom and needed drywall and texturing done. I contacted ZVN for an estimate and Zefe was here the next day. We went over the project, agreed on a competitive cost and ZVN shortly started the work. Zefe completed the work within a few days and made sure that the project matched my expectations. The replaced drywall matched perfect and the texturing of the entire bathroom made the room look brand new as if it had originally been built that way. Zefe strives for the customers’ satisfaction and is easy to work with. His many years of experience were evident in the completed project. ZVN was always responsive and completed the project on time as estimated."

"Workers showed up on time (actually early) and began work quickly. Immediately remedied incorrect work performed as a result of a miscommunication without question. Protected my home from damage while work was being performed. Accurately communicated additional work to be performed when problems were discovered. Finished all work in the timeframe promised, cleaned up properly and completed all patchwork to my satisfaction. The owner, Art, is friendly, professional and quoted a fair price. I will definitely recommend REPIPE PRO to my family and friends."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether you can install or repair plaster yourself depends on the project's size and your comfort level with DIY projects. It's possible to handle small repairs on your own, but for larger projects like a room restoration or a full installation, it's often best to hire a local plaster professional. The final appearance, even coverage, and durability of the plaster depend heavily on proper wall preparation and application. If you are not 100% confident in your ability to achieve a professional result, letting an expert handle the job is a worthwhile investment.

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.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Regular inspections and cleaning to prevent moisture or pest issues.
