"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"

"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."

"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."

"Fernando and his team did a complete gut renovation of a full bathroom in my East Rock Victorian in 2021. I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and the quality of work. He coached me through picking out tile, vanity, lighting and fixtures and I was thrilled with the final result. His crew cleaned up every night - above and beyond what any other contractor would do. Months later, water leaked from an old bathroom upstairs to the new bathroom below and Fernando showed up immediately to inspect and repair."

Plaster Repair questions, 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.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.
