"I was given Larry’s name by a family friend to quote re-doing my living room and bedroom ceiling. Larry was quick to get back to my phone call as well as begin the work. His quote was fair, better than two others I had received! Larry worked quickly and did an amazing job. He kept me informed throughout the entire job and was so easy to talk to. After meeting him, I trusted him to be in my home alone, using a lock box, which allowed for him to come on his schedule without me having to be there. Larry did a wonderful job, going above and beyond to touch up some imperfections on my walls as well. I would 100% recommend Larry to anyone looking for drywall/Sheetrock work done! Thanks again Larry!"

"I received a call back within 10 minutes of submitting my request on SM. Paul agreed to stop by the next day to provide an estimate on a bathroom ceiling repair (plaster). He was on time and he was courteous and very respectful with us and our home. Upon deciding to contract his services, he showed up on time both days the job required. He did a magnificent job replastering the whole bathroom ceiling. Paul was very tidy in his craft, very clean and very amicable. I am very pleased with the outcome, his price was very fair. Worth every penny. I'd be recommending Plastering Unlimited to family and friends. I'll also call Paul back in the future"

"Fred Weiss was very pleasant and knowledgeable in my repair work with the ceiling. I had about 10 nail pops that had to be fixed and repainted. Fred did a great job. Would recommend to anyone. I thought he was reasonable too. I have other projects I will call Fred to help me out with those. It was a pleasure meeting you too"

"We started work with Joe over the summer when he did the original work - mid July. We had several rooms that needed to be addressed, but most important was getting the bathroom done. Joe came to do an estimate very quickly. The estimate was extremely fair, well laid out, and he was quick to send it.
The job took the better part of a week. His workers were fabulous - really friendly and put up with our crazy dog who loved them and wanted to know what they were doing. They were very accommodating when we asked questions and dealt with our plumber being there one of the days as well. It was a big job, and they left the house clean and neat at the end of each day which was a huge bonus. The work itself was really good with no problems.  They even put a skim coat over plaster that had cracked during original demo work which was nice.
He said he'd get back to me to schedule the rest of the work. I contacted him in September to schedule the rest of the work, he said he would, and then didn't email me back. I contacted him again the end of November asking to schedule us for the week of Dec 28 and he said that would work which was perfect because my office was closed. My husband and I cancelled our travel plans and cut short our Christmas visit with family so we could be home for the work to be done.
Dec 17 he said he may be finishing up other jobs and asked what my other availability was, which I have none until May which I told him. I received no response until I emailed again on the 27th asking if we were still on, which he said he'd rather not because he'd like to focus on the job completely and asked to figure out another time.
I completely understand that things happen and jobs run over, but it was absolutely devastating to have waited so long and cancel everything. Their original work was perfect, their price was exactly within our budget, and I truly loved the team. I cannot praise them enough for the job they had completed. However, the communication was less than desirable. I really wish we could have had them in for the rest of the work.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.

However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.
