"I had called the company for an estimate. He was able to come out the next morning to look over what I needed. He took the appropriate measurements and told me I would have a quote within a couple of days. Once we reviewed the estimate, which was very reasonable, I called Chris to see when he could schedule the work. He was able to get it scheduled within a few days.

He used 4 workers and was able to do all the work within one day. They arrived on time, did all the work within one day, and cleaned up everything when they were done. They were very professional and did an outstanding job!

We will definitely consider them for future work. We can highly recommend them if you need drywall work done."

"John repaired and re-plastered the brick columns of our house that had cracks and peeling paint. He ground the columns to even out the surfaces and applied a new color coat. We are very pleased with the results and are confident that the stucco will look great for many years to come. We highly recommend John and Jesse for any stucco repair job."

"Efrain and his crew were on time every day of the job.  They prepped, painted, repaired and cleaned up every day.  He was extremely professional and contacted us every evening about the next day's work.  He was very responsive via email with last minute questions and instructions.  At the end of the job he did a walk through with us and found things we didn't even notice.  We are very picky about lines and we were very happy with the straight lines between rooms and especially above the baseboards.  Not only will we use him again, but we highly recommend him.

"I hired Robert to paint my entire home after I suffered water damage that required extensive repair. I found Robert McKay to be an ethical professional who makes no excuses and gets the job done right. He cleaned up as he went, was organized, and thorough in his work. He pays attention to detail, which is important, and he is reliable, and flexible in working with your home issues and deadlines. I definitely will and have referred him to friends."

"Working with Danny was a great pleasure.  He and his team just completed a great job with the popcorn removal of my recently purchased 2066 square foot house.  Between his detailed, very easy to understand price estimates, his consistently helpful, professionally pleasant demeanor , true work ethic and pride that he takes in the results, finding him and his team has been a true blessing.  
The ceilings look great!!
The painter that is doing the walls (would have used Danny's team but they were already booked solid) commented on how "wow, this took twenty years off of the house" -- he had seen it with the popcorn initially.  This painter also does popcorn removal; and, was clearly impressed  with Danny and his team's work.  
I'm also amazed at how fast the work was done.  I'm on a tight move in schedule; and, Danny and his team completed the job in two days as promised.  They are extremely organized and clean too...no trace of popcorn or anything else after they were done.
Once again, I highly recommend Danny and his team and plan to get estimates from him for future remodeling projects we have in mind for our new home.

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.

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.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

Plaster repair costs range from $4 to $10 per square foot for refinishing, while skim coating can be less expensive, usually between $2 and $5 per square foot. The price you pay for plaster repairs will depend on the extent of the damage, the type of plaster you have on your walls, and the accessibility of the damage. Plaster repair on the exterior of your home tends to be more expensive, as there’s a higher chance that ladders or scaffolding will be necessary to carry out the repair.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.
