"We had multiple rooms that needed plaster repair on the ceiling and/or walls of our 96 year old house. From the time that M&C EuroDesign came to give us an estimate we knew that Mike was an expert with plaster repair. He was always on time and got the work done one day ahead of schedule. He cleaned up at the end of every day. He made sure that we were satisfied with the repair before moving on to the next room. We have already hired him again to fix work that was not done correctly by the company who renovated our bathroom years ago."

"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."

"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."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Juan and his crew. We had an extensive project that including painting all of the trim, windows & doors in our home, repairing plaster cracks, regular drywall repair and painting of the whole house. Juanâ s team was meticulous with preparation of the space. We just had our floors done and they laid and taped brown construction paper throughout. The amount of time they spent focusing on the details made all of the difference. Our walls look brand new and the quality of the painting is top notch. His whole crew is full of hard-working talented painters and friendly guys. Could not recommend him enough! Scope of project: -painted all walls and ceilings -painted two staircases (risers, banisters, posts etc) -painted all of the doors in our home -painted all of the trim -painted all of the windows -painted picture rails -repaired plaster cracks -replaced water damaged ceiling"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

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. 

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

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.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.
