"We originally asked for a price to fix the post on the front porch and paint the exterior of our stucco house.  AC quickly gave us an online estimate of $2600 from pictures we had sent. We then arranged a time that week for him to come over and look more closely at the house.  He agreed to do the job as we requested but had some reservations about painting without doing some fix up prep work first.  He had his painters come look at the house and they expressed even greater concern and stated the paint job would not last nearly as long without replacing some rotted wood and doing extensive caulking and stucco repair which was obviously needed.  After talking with them we agreed that the prep work should be done at an additional cost of $2400.  They first worked on the post on the front porch and did a great job.  They were able to repair the post instead of replacing it which we appreciated.  They then took 2 days working on the prep work prior to painting.  They did a very thorough job and were even able to remove some extensive vine debris with no evidence of its remains after painting.  AC had recommended using Sherwin Williams for the paint but we were unable to get the color we wanted even after working with a SW dealer who honestly tried very hard to match our request.  AC agreed to use the Behr paint of the color we had chosen.  They applied an oil based exterior primer prior to applying the finished coats.  The painters were excellent.  Dither was very knowledgeable and thorough.  He and his painters worked hard and payed attention to details.  Both AC and Dither did frequent walk throughs with us and addressed all our concerns.  At the final walk through we had noticed bubbling on the concrete on the front porch. Although a primer was not recommended with the concrete paint they had used, they returned and scrapped the paint and repainted with an oil primer and another topcoat. We requested that $200 be held back on the payment until this work was completed and AC agreed without hesitation.  The painters returned to repaint within the week. We are very pleased with their work and would use them again needed."

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

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.

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.

Like many other repair projects, the cost to fix a behind-the-wall shower leak depends on several factors. The cost of your repair may depend on the type of leak (from a clog or burst pipe), type of piping, and location of the leak. The extent of the issue and how difficult it is to access the pipes can greatly impact and increase your price. On average, you can expect to pay around $150 to $600 to repair a leaking shower.
