"We are very happy with the service we received from Handyman Services LLC. We listed the job on Angi and Adal called within just a few minutes. He came the next day and fixed our gas fireplace that had stopped working. We have a second fireplace that had not worked for years. We had been told that it could not be fixed and it would need to be replaced. (Costing thousands of dollars.) We asked Adal to look at it and he was able to fix it too!! (We were actually considering having it removed.) We would definitely recommend Adal to other people and will use his service again"

"Thomas was awesome! He quickly found a solution to a problem we've been having with some of our house siding. He arrived when he said he would, took care not to damage anything, cleaned up after he was done and was kind and courtesy throughout the whole process. His prices were extremely fair and I really appreciated that he was straight forward with me about the cost after he had assessed the problem and before he started the fix - in my experience that's hard to find when dealing with some professionals. I highly recommend Chavez Services and plan on hiring Thomas's again when the need arises."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

It depends on the construction of your wall. Most handypeople can fix small holes in drywall. If your wall is plaster or brick, more significant damage may require a drywall contractor or a mason. Hiring a handyperson costs less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.

Whether you can install or repair plaster yourself depends on the project's size and your comfort level with DIY projects. It's possible to handle small repairs on your own, but for larger projects like a room restoration or a full installation, it's often best to hire a local plaster professional. The final appearance, even coverage, and durability of the plaster depend heavily on proper wall preparation and application. If you are not 100% confident in your ability to achieve a professional result, letting an expert handle the job is a worthwhile investment.
