"I am very pleased with the work completed. Josue repaired a hole in my ceiling and painted From our first encounter, I found him to be very punctual and responsive to my questions and emails. From the moment he arrived, he demonstrated professionalism. My house looked as if no one had done any work. I barely had to clean! I would definitely hire Josue again."

"Very courteous and goes out of the way to help customer. All the work they did looks amazing. They went out of their way to clean up and were very professional. They showed up on time and stayed late on a Saturday to make sure everything was completed to perfection. We highly recommend this company for any stucco/ plastering job."

"The job was done and I got what I paid for. The beginning was a little bit difficult. For the first appointment he was on time then it was difficult to schedule the job itself. I had a discussion with the vendor, I bought 8 hours of vending and then he came to discuss what should be done because he came saying that the painting was to be done for 2 rooms. On my coupon he said 8 hours of painting or 4 hours for 2 persons and they were telling me they were only going to paint 2 rooms. In the end they worked on 2 rooms and it took them 6 to 8 hours. The communication could have been a little bit better. The work was completed a while ago because I waited a long time for the schedule to work. The price was good."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

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.

Professionals diagnose underlying causes, such as structural shifts or moisture problems, and apply appropriate solutions like reinforcement, patching, or sealing. These measures restore wall integrity and prevent recurrence, ensuring long-term stability.
