"Craig was both professional and personable during a four-day plaster restoration project that remediated a water-damaged ceiling and wall. He accommodated my schedule, came on time, and took care to protect the work space. He worked efficiently, but did not try to rush through when an unexpected complication - my vintage home has extra-thick plaster - required more drying time than usual. I was impressed by his work, and would recommend him without reservation."

"He did a good job, but his weed Wacker broke down and he stated he will return today. I am buying a lawnmower this week and my grandson said he will do the weed wacky for me. Thanks for doing what you were able to do."

"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!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.

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.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.
