"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 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.

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.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
