"Very kind and courteous of your time. Always cleaned up after themselves and even fixed some last minute areas we didnâ t know were there. On top of the drywall repairs they did a full paint of walls and ceilings and it looks great! Marker colored walls werenâ t able to be cleaned but they were able to find paint to cover up the remainder of my the marks and itâ s totally unnoticeable."

He was able to get started right away, and completed the project in less than 2 days. He's very personable and easy to talk to. He explained everything he'd need to do so there were no surprises. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone I know looking for home repairs!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to 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.

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

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.
