"I hired Professional Plastering to stucco an addition on the front of our home, the owner Alfredo met with me and soon sent me a quote via e-mail, I hired Professional Plastering and was very pleased with the quality of work that was performed. I was worried about matching the current stucco on our house, but Alfredo assured me not to worry, and he was right our new addition looks great and you could never tell we did an addition to our house. Thank you Professional Plastering, I would highly recommend this company. Steve"

"SRC Drywall, Inc. did a great job on time and on budget. I have an older home and wanted the popcorn ceiling removed and a smooth finish on the new plaster to match the other rooms. I was impressed by how smooth and even everything turned out. I have recommended them and would hire them again."

"Antiques Plaster did a fabulous job on fixing cracks in my stucco and re-pointing the brick on the front of my house. Duane and his family were very very professional. They kept me in the loop through the entire process. I knew what they were going to do next I knew when they would be back the next day. Working with them was an an overall wonderful experience. I wasn’t able to upload all the photos because Angee‘s only let you upload a certain amount. Higher them for your job."

"Guys did a great job as promised.  Took advantage of a $999 special; an additional $300 for extra exterior door painting.  Approximately $1000 in paint necessary but we chose top quality paint in lieu of having Better Choice select paint.  House was power washed and some trim replaced prior to painting.  Some delays due to the high temperatures we experienced that pushed out the job a couple of times.

"Ron and his crew did an excellent job extending my bathroom including a new roof and foundation, installing all new plumbing for the bathroom and a waterline for my house. They were always on time, came when they said they would, were easy to work with and worked hard all day. The price very fair. He is very versatile not only in remodeling my now beautiful bathroom but also extending my porch and grating my dirt driveway. If i had a question, he always answered it. He is very innovative and provides high quality workmanship. He is professional, honest and has integrity. The results of his work are way above my expectations. In addition to building, etc., he also fixed my brand new leaking water heater and an outside water leak. i am so happy. He is always willing to help in a timely manner. i would definitely recommend Ron and his crew."

"I called the company, and a handyman named Tom called me back within a few days. The first time Tom came over, he hung our double curtain rods and patched the holes around the hollow walls where we had tried to hang the rods ourselves. We thought he did such a great job, we called him back to remove the security bars from all the exterior windows around our house. This was a big job and took several days. Tom did a wonderful job not only removing the bars but also patching and painting around the windows. Tom seems to know how to do EVERYTHING, and we are going to call him with all the small jobs we need done around the house."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.
