"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

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
