"Recently had a slab leak while in escrow on my home. The plumbers left roughly 30 holes in my walls and Rob from Artistic Plasters was able to patch all the holes, match the texture, paint, and replace the base boards for me in time for my home inspection. My new buyers are happy, and I am extremely happy Rob saved my sale!!! Now I am hiring him to do the work on my new home."

"Beautiful work - repaired holes electrician needed to run a a new dryer 240V line into utility room. Oscar blended the plaster to match surrounding texture and repainted. It perfectly matches, cannot even find where holes were. He was on-time, called to reconfirm on his way and cleaned up nicely afterwards. No surprises and would definitely hire again."

"Best builders group delivered us a functional, beautiful kitchen and master bathroom remodeling that was priced within our budget. The remodeling made our house updated and ready for our new tenant! Before we contacted Best builders group, we met with two other big construction companies, which at the end, we decided not to hire them due to several reasons. From phone calls to final inspection off all the small touches, Best builders Group staff were professional, quick and responsive more than we thought they will be. Our project manager Zohar walked us through the whole process, guiding us of things that could affect the progress of the work and also the cost. His team of excellent people were not only skilled, but also provided us with many important ideas based on their experience. We are very pleased and we won’t hesitate to contact Best Builders Group again for any home remodeling projects!"

"I would recommend Menaci Drywall Design to anyone looking for home repair work. They were quick to reply and answer questions, get info on what work needed to be done and scheduled an appointment to come do work. From first contact to completion was done in 3 days due to it being over Thanksgiving, had it been a regular week I believe it would have been done even sooner. The friendly and professional service is much appreciated!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.
