Q: Does plaster dry faster with heat?

• <div><p>Heat can help plaster dry faster, but it's very easy to get too much of a good thing. When exposed to high heat during the curing process, plaster can dry out too quickly, leading to cracks and affecting the material's integrity. The recommended drying temperature should be listed on the plaster's packaging. If possible, set the thermostat in the room to that temperature, but not any higher.</p></div>

Q: How much does plaster repair cost?

• <div><p>Plaster repair costs range from <b>$4 to $10</b> <b>per square foot</b> for refinishing, while skim coating can be less expensive, usually between <b>$2 and $5 per square foot</b>. 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&rsquo;s a higher chance that ladders or scaffolding will be necessary to carry out the repair.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair ceiling cracks on my own?

• <div><p>While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you&rsquo;re not sure what&rsquo;s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you&rsquo;re up for the task, here&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repair-ceiling-cracks.htm">how to repair ceiling cracks</a> for $150 or less.</p></div>

Q: Will Venetian plaster increase the value of your home?

• <div><p>Venetian plaster walls tend to be beautiful and attractive. While applying Venetian plaster to the walls of your home won't have the same impact on its value as renovating the kitchen or remodeling the bathroom, the plaster can make your home more appealing to potential buyers, leading to higher offers and more competition when it's time to sell.</p></div>

"I would hire this company over and over again! Humberto, his son and their guys are amazing! Our bathroom and laundry room had gotten water damage due to a backed up sewer line. Humberto, his son, and their team replaced drywall, baseboards, primed and painted both rooms. They redid the laundry room floors, and the vanity in the bathroom. Everything looks amazing, and we have already discussed with them if they can redo the rest of downstairs, paint upstairs and my kitchen cabinets. They are VERY NEAT workers, always cleaning as they go. They’re reliable, trustworthy and you can tell they aren’t just in it for the money. Humberto is really compassionate."
