"Angelo was hired to repair/replace drywall damage from a re-piping. His skills and service are truly impeccable, went above and beyond to help me put my house back together and the job is so well done you can't tell the walls and ceiling were patched. Angelo is also a very honest and genuine person, I would hire him again and intend to have him do some work on my mother's house."

Customers say: True professional

"Jesus was prompt and easily accessible. He gave me a consultation in 3 days. He made a repair appointment for the week after his consultation. He is a very pleasant man. He made an assessment as to the best way to repair my leaky french door at the first visit. He instilled my confidence by his professionalism regarding the task at hand. His work was precise, and when finished he cleaned up the mess made by the repair. Very thorough. Reasonable price for the type of repair."

"I have been working with contractors for 40 years and I will say that Henry Arguetas and his colleagues are by far the best. Henry is professional, personal, knowledgeable, accommodating , neat, expert in his field and attentive to detail.. I couldnâ t be happier with the repair of all my upstairs ceilings after damage requiring duct repair. You would think I had entire new ceilings installed. Henry painted the entire house and was extremely neat, therefore there was little dust to deal with. Henry also fixed my add on list which consisted of some twenty tasks that I needed done after moving to my Lauderdale by the Sea condo full time. I could say a lot more, but I think you now know what a gem Henry is."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

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.

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.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.
