"We had just recently bought a home built in the 70’s that had acoustic popcorn on the ceilings and heavy orange peel on the walls throughout the house. Alex and his crew did an amazing job transforming the house into an entirely new space. The plaster work they did on the walls and ceilings has elevated the vibe of the entire place. Alex was a great pleasure to work with throughout the project. He is a man of skill, hard work and integrity. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Alex!"

"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."

"ZVN Drywall is excellent. Zefe N., who runs the company, has been an absolute pleasure to work with. His estimates for the work proved accurate and were at a very fair price. He listened to and clearly understood our needs while also making helpful suggestions. His crew was efficient, his communication constant, his craftsmanship superb, his timeline for the job met with a day to spare and importantly, he is a truly nice and optimistic person. Without the slightest hesitation I can give Zefe and ZVN my highest recommendation. Five stars of course, more like a ten-out-of-ten."

"Umberto is the guy to use for stucco and plaster. He is responsive and professional. His work product is excellent at a very competitive price. He was out to my house within two days of accepting the work and had the stucco work done in a few hours. I know enough about stucco to know he did it right, and that I will not have leak issues later on. Again, great work at a good price."

"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

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Ensures structural integrity and aesthetic consistency with proper materials and techniques.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

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.

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.
