"Yeol and his team were extremely accomodating. He will put in the extra effort to meet requests and to ensure the work was completed to satisfaction. Overall, the quality of work was good. The painting and the plasterwork were good to great, wall and ceiling drywall construction below average (there were huge gaps between the outlet boxes and the drywall that were filled in with plaster). I would recommend for rental rebuilds/renovations but not in a situation where details matter."

"We hired Luis to repair damaged drywall and plaster walls. Luis was timely in his responses to questions and made us feel comfortable with his suggestions. He showed up on time and finished our project quickly. With drywall repair there can be a lot of dust, but Luis left his work area clean. Will hire him again for future projects."

"Georgios and his crew were very hardworking. Our job was challenging in that they came in after we had already been working with another painter and we were preparing to have a baby during the time his crew would be working so it was a tight turnaround time. His crew was willing to work with us to finish the job. We had both plaster repair and painting of an old home built in the 1930â s. They were very diligent to make sure the old plaster cracks were smoothed out and would look good when they were done. We did discuss a few options to repair portions of the walls once the job started. Georgios was up front on what the work would cost and gave us an opportunity to think things over. We did have some spots which needed to be redone and paint drops on our newly refinished wood floors which required additional clean up. Hiis team was able to clean things up to our satisfaction. I would recommend Georgios and his team and would use them again if the opportunity presents itself."

"My project consisted of removing some existing drywall and insulation on an exterior facing wall. PatchMaster did a great job, completed the work in one day, kept the area clean, and disposed of the waste material. Great work and would definitely use them again."

"Juan the lead was very prompt in communications and clear with the estimated work and what was to be done. The completed job has been very well done - repairing ceiling plaster issues, repairing broken plaster around shower supply pipe and fully repainting bathroom. Carefully taped and completed neatly, including careful clean-up. Highly recommended. Will hire again for future painting work. Thank you!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.

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.

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.

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.
