"Arrived on time for what I thought would be an easy fix for an overhead ceiling fixture. He had to figure out the wiring setup and traced it down to a faulty switch. Elvin was pleasant to deal with neat and efficient."

"They did a great job installing some baby gates in awkward locations and on plaster walls. Everything looks neat and clean, and the extra wood pieces for support were made to look decorative. Iâ m very happy with the service!"

"My husband and I reached out to the company to repair some rotten boards we discovered on the exterior of the house. We spoke to David who was extremely responsive and quick to set up our services. The crew came a couple days later right at the time they said, the repairs are great quality, and everyone we interacted with was polite and kind. I wouldnâ t hesitate to hire them for a bigger job in the future!"

"I cannot praise Davis & Davis enough! I had water damage in the ceiling in my dining room from the bathroom above it. The popcorn ceiling pealed off the ceiling revealing damage to the plaster above. It was awful. After finding D&D on Angi’s I am so pleased to say they were wonderful. Danielle was helpful, and extremely responsive. We were able to schedule the repair within 2 weeks! Tommy came to the condo on time and started working immediately. The project lasted 2 days, and after it was completed, my dining room looked better than when I first got the condo! And so clean! My dining room looked cleaner than when they started the job! Each day Tommy cleaned up all materials and the room was completely useful the entire time. I would recommend Davis & Davis to anyone, and I already have! I have told also my friends, and all the folks I play pickleball with! Not only were they professional, and clean, they were extremely reasonable priced. The project cost well within budget!"

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Wondering who to call for ceiling repair? While you can hire a handyperson to fix minor cracks, you’ll want to hire a drywall professional for larger issues. Depending on the cause of the crack, you may need to hire other contractors, such as a foundation contractor, mold remediation company, roofer, or plumber near you.

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.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.

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.
