"We had two plaster (not plasterboard) ceiling patches that needed repair and a plasterboard repair in a bathroom that required removing a toilet and the vanity. The work on all of the plastering repairs was fantastic. They also repainted the bathroom and remounted all of the bathroom fixtures so we didn't have to remove things for painting later. They started the work a week after we requested it and finished in two days. We plan to use them again when we need to minor plaster repair done to our walls."

"After taking a number of bids, I decided to go with Yolis C Painting. All positive reviews are well merited. We had him do some interior painting and the walls look like new. Outside trim: Admittingly, some of the old paint was chipping, but what we did not anticipate was that much of the wood had begun showing signs of rot (we own the house for 40 years). He repaired and painted it. If looking for fair pricing, professionalism, and detail orientated, they are the ones for you!"

"I can't say enough great things about Jauch Painting. Brian came out and gave me a reasonable quote for the work, he was on time and very professional. Mike and James made drywall repairs to my ceilings, addressing issues that went well outside the scope of work. They were on time, and very professional as well. They covered and protected my floors, cabinets, counters and light fixtures. They wiped down and vacuumed up any drywall dust that was visible. They kept me informed regarding the status of the job and finished the job in a timely manner. I've had a couple persistent nail pops (old home) and they have come back and repaired them without question. Any other repairs and painting I might need will be done by Jauch Painting & Decorating. Thanks Guys!!"

"Jim came out at the time he told me to expect him. He was very friendly and looked at the items I needed done. He got started right away. He finished the repairs quickly and professionally. Installed new shutters, repaired facia, reattached facia that was loose and fixed a gap that had formed in the siding. Excellent work."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

Repairing plaster walls or ceilings is almost always worthwhile. It restores the appearance of your home, and if it's an exterior wall, the repair can improve curb appeal and provide a great return on investment when selling. Plaster repairs can also reinforce the wall, preventing minor cracks from spreading, and improve your home’s energy efficiency by fixing gaps in the insulative material, potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, hiring a professional allows them to check if the damage is from a serious underlying issue, such as foundation instability. Catching a problem like this early could save you thousands.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.
