"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

Depending on how much adhesive was used as well as the strength of the adhesive, you may have some drywall damage when removing a mirror. You can typically repair most drywall damage if it’s small by sanding the damaged area, applying spackle to smooth the damaged section so it’s flush with the rest of the wall, and repainting the area.

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.

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 handyperson costs less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.
