"I had a great experience with PatchMaster. Joe and Harry were both professional, courteous, and very skilled at what they do. They showed up on time, explained the work clearly, and made sure everything was done properly. The repair work came out excellent and looks seamless. They also took the time to clean up the area when they finished, which I really appreciated. It’s clear they care about the quality of their work and customer satisfaction. I would definitely recommend PatchMaster, and especially Joe and Harry, to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality"

"Elite Work Home Improvement provided outstanding service when I needed some siding repairs done on my property. Their team was responsive, knowledgeable, and efficient. They quickly identified the problem areas and skillfully fixed the siding. The repairs blend seamlessly with the rest of the siding, and the final result is excellent. They delivered on their promises and demonstrated a high level of professionalism. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for any future siding needs."

"Brian came over very quickly after my initial call. We had damage to a window and to our dock after the serious storm that hit Greenwich, CT and other nearby areas last weekend. Brian was prompt, easy to talk to and gave us a very fair price for the work. Today the work was completed by Brian and two other men who assisted him, and everything they repaired/replaced looks better than it did before. I would recommend him to anyone and am glad I found a great company to hire for work we need done in the future."

"Excellent craftsmanship, professional, fair pricing, always in constant contact and completes projects ahead of schedule. Fernando and his team remodeled my kitchen, painted entire interior of my townhouse and installed new hardwood flooring as well as repairing a number of other things that needed to be addressed. I'm 100% satisfied with their work and they leave everything spotless after completing a project. I'll note that I met with 7 other contractors and Fernando was the most professional, the only contractor that took measurements correctly and the only one that submitted licensing and certificate of liability. I highly recommend Fer Home Services."

"Tommy and Danielle did a beautiful job plastering and painting my historic home allowing us to keep the charm of traditional plaster. They repaired the ceiling and walls of an entryway and living room as well as our spare guest room and main bedroom. They fit me into their busy schedule and got the job done working through a weekend. They are very friendly and helpful with suggestions for repairs. I would have them back in a second for other projects."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

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.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

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.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.
