"We hired Edgar with Stucco Specialties to repair stucco around a patio door and install architectural foam around the area. From the moment Edgar came to our home for the estimate he was professional, prompt and answered all of our questions. His pricing is very reasonable. He completed the work originally quoted and offered to address some other stucco areas of concern. His work is impeccable, he maintained a clean work area and cleaned after completing all of the repairs. Edgar is a true craftsman, we would highly recommend his services."

"Albert was easy to reach and he gave me a very reasonable price for the work. He was open and honest about how simple the repair was and quoted me a price that Was inline with my expectations. he did not need to come physically to see the job to quote, others required a$100 just to be on site to quote. In fact he was the cheapest quote I received by at least $50 and was able to accommodate the work within a couple of days. Albert came was honest and transparent in what he was doing and the repair was flawless. I almost do not want to write this review as I have more work for him and do not want to share but I will as others will appreciate a straightforward and trustworthy contractor in Albert. Based on my experience I will most defiantly re-hire Albert."

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.

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.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

Wondering who to call for ceiling repair? While you can hire a handyperson to fix minor cracks, you’ll want to hire a drywall professional for larger issues. Depending on the cause of the crack, you may need to hire other contractors, such as a foundation contractor, mold remediation company, roofer, or plumber near you.
