"Soane and his working family members showed up on time and are very personable. They plastered my large vent hood cover and drywallled some side pantry walls as well as the small gaps in three bathroom where new lights will be installed soon. I would recommend them for your drywall needs but book in advance as Fiefia Drywall are a popular company to use."

"Carlos was very responsive, gave me a few options of when he was available, was on time (actually a little early), wore a mask to protect against COVID-19, and had everything he needed. The drywall repair looks great, he matched the texture/pattern on the wall - I hope it will hold and that there be no cracks, but it looks solid. When working, he covered area with plastic to keep everything else clran. Carlos was done in about an hour, and cleaned up after himself. Highly recommend him."

"I had a large area of stucco missing from my lanai roof and it needed to be patched. Jose did the repair and he was great. He was on time for both the estimate and the repair work. He did an excellent job trying to match to the existing stucco pattern and he painted the patch when he was done to match the color of the existing ceiling. Unless you knew where the patch was it would be hard to tell it was there. He exceeded my expectations. He did a pretty good job cleaning up when he was done too."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

The allure of Venetian plaster lies in its unique appearance and individual characteristics in a home. It’s sophisticated and multidimensional and has a rich history dating back to Ancient Rome. This type of plaster finish is durable and represents a style of luxury that has been practiced for thousands of years. Many designers pair the texture of Venetian plaster with modern furnishings, resulting in an elegant and refined aesthetic.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.
