"Juan, repaired a few holes we had from birds pecking at our stucco. After being told we needed to replace whole trim pieces for an excessive cost, Juan inspected and was able to patch and repair the holes much more cost effectively.. He also found a couple other smaller areas that needed minor repairs and fixed those too. Juan is prompt, friendly, trustworthy, skilled and kept his word on days and arrival times. We will definitely use Juan for future projects."

"Very nice owners. They provided a quote for the job that was very reasonable. They were able to start the work very quickly. It was comfortable having them in our home. I didn't really even know they were there, so quiet and respectful. Alex does wonderful work. Absolutely beautiful, clean and perfect finish on the drywall. His wife, Adi, kept me informed on his estimated time of arrival each day he came to work. Drywall, as you know, requires a certain amount of down time to allow for drying etc. Being informed about when they would be in our home was very helpful. My only regret it that we didn't have the work done sooner! I'd highly recommend them!"

"PatchMaster repaired the drywall in a 3x4' portion of the ceiling that had a water leak repaired. the estimation process was simple. Russel and I exchanged text and photos, and he came to the house to confirm his understanding of the scope of the work. I was on their schedule a week later, and the drywaller arrived a few minutes early. He installed furniture and carpet protection from the job site all the way to the door to ensure that he kept the hours clean. His demolition was fast and he let me inspect the are in the cavity before install the patch so I could quickly check for other plumbing issues. His patch work and texturing were also quick and tidy, and the match to the surrounding/untouched ceiling looks pretty good. Over all, I am very happy with PatchMaster and will use them again for drywall needs. Their price was fair as compared to several other quotes I received. I felt that Russel demonstrated the most comprehensive understanding of the work and what needed."

Customers say: Quick response

"Had a great meeting with Paval, as he came out and explained the process that was needed to get my roof repaired. He was very proactive in finding the right materials to get the job done, he showed up on time, communicated clearly to me what was needed to get done and every time I reached out to him as I was not always available due to my work schedule, he communicated and let me know the progress of that project. Will definitely hire him again for future projects as he does a variety of handyman work, and just appreciate his customer service and getting the job done right for me. I am a guy that asked a lot of questions, and he was able to answer all those questions and get the job done. Thank you Paval."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

There are several warning signs that a ceiling crack is connected to a larger issue. For starters, if the crack is wider than 1/8 inch or longer than 12 inches, you might have a more serious problem. The same applies if you have multiple smaller cracks or cracks going across the ceiling and down the wall. In any of these situations, you should ask a professional to assess the damage.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

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.

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.
