"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.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

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 will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.
