"I hired Mr. Ouellette repair cracks in my ceilings(Sheetrock) and to paint them(LR, DR, Hallway). Guy and his crew were very courteous, professional and friendly. They were very prompt. Guy gave me a scheduled date and time and they were Spot on. Canâ t say enough about their communication skills. Over the top! They explained how they would make the repairs and very thorough and â meticulous â when they made them. Since my ceilings were of a fine sand finish, they had to match the paint texture to match it(1967 vintage). After numerous trials, a lot of patience and â finickinessâ on their part an exact match was achieved. But NOT before they made sure I was satisfied with it. It was Perfect! The Crew was very neat, clean and protected all the surroundings, including the walls. When they finished everything was put back in its place. Service by Guy and his Crew was exceptional and beyond what I was expecting. He will be my â One stop Businessâ for future house painting projects!"

"Elvin is great. He fixed my wood double front doors and applied paint that I had picked out, as well as new handles/lock. He took his time, was very polite, and made sure everything was in order before in left. My front doors look amazing. Will be hiring him again for more work around the house. Also, his pricing was very reasonable and on point for the amount of repair and painting work he did."

"Erick and his team did an OUTSTANDING job !! They had to do very extensive prep work (scraping and sanding) due to the sun damage on our home, in addition to some repair on woodpecker damage. The house looks simply amazing - we have encouraged Erick to use our house as a reference, and we are happy to talk to anyone that would like our review backed up in person. The house looks SO good our neighbor two doors up is also using Erick for their home !!!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.
