"Paul and Shaquana were great to work with to replace a portion of our sidewalk. Took a little longer than expected, due to an issue with the county that was out of their control. But they communicated well and completed the job with high quality. Would definitely recommend and use them again."

"Forever After Renovations LLC did multiple jobs for me in a very short time at a very reasonable and affordable price! Their work is excellent and they were very good with cleaning up as they go which made my house very accessible wow getting much needed work done. I most definitely will be setting up an appointment to get a few other household projects done. My floors, drywall repairs and painting were done to my satisfaction and I'm loving the renovations made to my deck!"

"I had an emergency service request where the faucet in my shower lost tracking and will not close. The water was running for an hour or so until someone gave me their number. I called them and within half hour someone showed up at my door with what was needed to fix the issue. I didnt know what was needed but they already knew the issue. They had me temporarily turn off the entire water system in my house, which was not a bother. But how swift they were actually amazed me. I was so grateful. Almost a month later, no issues, I am so glad they replaced that cartilage if thats what it's called."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.
