"Jonathan was great. He called right away talked about the work needed, sent an estimate and scheduled the work within three days. He knew I needed the work done right away so he did the eork on Sunday just to work me in right away. He showed up a few minutes early, worked almost 8 hours and cleaned up when the work was done. I will call Jonathan again when needed!!"

"Larry Doyle repaired the damage to the ceiling and wall. He installed new drywall in both areas and left it looking as if there had never been a leak. He came back twice following the repair to put additional coats of plaster over the new drywall and then smooth it out. He did an excellent job, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs this type of repair."

"Paul was the only contractor that really evaluated our situation. I had paneling on a few walls that I wanted replaced with drywall. Paul checked and saw that drywall was under the panellng and didn't need new drywall. I had the paneling removed and the walls done with veneer plastering. Paul did an excellant job and was done in a few days. The walls were so smooth it looked like a mirror when the sunlight hit them. This dramatically changed the appearance of our home. I would recommend Paul to all my friends and relatives. He does excellant work!"

"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"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you’re not sure what’s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you’re up for the task, here’s how to repair ceiling cracks for $150 or less.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.
