"Hired the company for stucco repair work around all the sides of the house. This is an investment property and as such, i was unable to be at the home. Great communication was extreamly useful as I was kept updated with the progress of the work via daily pictures. The work started on time and and I was informed on each issue that came up for review and authorization. On schedule, quality work and as per agreed in advance. Recommended"

"Carlos was very easy to work with and prompt with showing up daily to complete work. I hired him to take out carpet and ceramic tile and install porcelain tile throughout the whole house. When unexpected repairs were needed , he was very flexible in accommodating my needs as my list of projects grew to drywall repair and painting. He made it easy to communicate via text while I was at work and unable to be there the entire time. He made it easy for me in getting the materials needed by sending me a thorough list in the quote and was easy to work with when I needed additional supplies. He is very dependable and trustworthy as I had no issue leaving him alone to do work when I was not home. I will definitely hire him again for future projects."

"I am the Estate Manager of a 20,000 sq ft home that as one can imagine has to be run like a commercial property. Home Sweet Home is always my first call when anything goes wrong. If it is electric, plumbing, wood or even on our grounds of 8 acres. Jarmine is always quickly to respond within hours for an emergency situation. I would say that he is called upon every few months to repair, replace or improve. Never an issue, never a delay always a solution I feel should be their logo for he never leaves until it is right. Highly recommend Home Sweet Home"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

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.

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.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.
