Can a handyperson fix a hole in the wall?

• <div><p>It depends on the construction of your wall. Most handypeople can fix small holes in drywall. If your wall is plaster or brick, more significant damage may require a drywall contractor or a mason. Hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-handyman-prices.htm">handyperson costs</a> less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.</p></div>

Q: Is a sagging plaster ceiling dangerous?

• <div><p>The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn&rsquo;t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it. </p></div>

Q: How much does plastering a wall cost?

• <div><p>Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between <b>$2 and $10</b> <b>per square foot</b> for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you&rsquo;re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to repair a ceiling?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Can I use spackle on plaster walls?

• <div><p>Only use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spackle-vs-putty.htm">spackle on plaster walls</a> when the imperfection is small. It&rsquo;s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don&rsquo;t risk further damage.</p></div>

They actually installed two windows where there hadn’t been any & did some repairs on my garage. They were excellent! Came on time, worked through the day, paid attention to every detail, did a great job and cleaned up afterwards - for a reasonable price. I recommend them highly.
