"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."

"Jose the owner, and his assistant Jesus were both highly skilled having over 20 years of drywalling experience. They were both very personable and listen to me and paid special care for all of my particular concerns. I had the drywall replaced in my living room. Understanding that drywall is a very dusty process I was concerned. Jose assured me that he could keep the dust escaping from the workspace area to the minimum possible degree and he delivered on that assurance. His work was timely and he's kept to the schedule and cleaned up nicely before leaving. Would highly recommend hiring him for your drywalling needs."

"Amazing work and attention to detail. They went above and beyond just painting the room we hired them for—they also repaired the trim on our wall, which made a huge difference. The space looks fantastic, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!"

"EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! I cannot tell you how pleased my husband and I are with the quality of the work from Garcias Repairs. Our problem was a lot of loose vinyl siding on our two-story home that we were fearful of blowing away. Dario Garcia and Jose were very thorough in their assessment of our project, making certain that the wood underneath the siding was in good condition before the repair, which it was. It was evident from this assessment that they took pride in what they do. They then gave us a fair estimate for the repair. Their attention to detail left our home in better condition, and we could be happier. They did a beautiful job. Because we were so happy with the work they did on our house, we hired them to do some vinyl repair on my sister's home. Results again, were excellent. It is refreshing to come across contractors that are so HONEST. My husband and I recommend GARCIA'S REPAIRS highly."

Additionally, he installed new countertops and added handles to my doors. I highly recommend his services; he did an excellent job!"

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.
Repairing plaster walls is almost always worthwhile. Not only will plaster repairs make your walls look new again, but repairs of minor cracks can often reinforce the plaster and help prevent the cracks from spreading and widening. Additionally, hiring a professional to carry out plaster wall repair means they can let you know if the cracking is a result of a severe underlying issue. Catching a problem like foundation instability early could save you thousands, a luxury you wouldn’t have if you just repaired the walls yourself.
Plaster repair costs range from $4 to $10 per square foot for refinishing, while skim coating can be less expensive, usually between $2 and $5 per square foot. The price you pay for plaster repairs will depend on the extent of the damage, the type of plaster you have on your walls, and the accessibility of the damage. Plaster repair on the exterior of your home tends to be more expensive, as there’s a higher chance that ladders or scaffolding will be necessary to carry out the repair.
It is possible to repair plaster walls yourself, but it’s not always a good idea. Hiring a professional means you’ll have expert eyes on the damage looking to see if there is an underlying issue or if the cracks are just from normal expansion and contraction. Additionally, a professional’s plaster repair will very likely last longer than a DIY job, which means you could end up saving money over time by going with a pro from the start.
All plaster walls will crack over time with expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes, as well as from normal house settling. In these cases, the cracks will usually be thin and don’t mean there are major structural issues. However, excessive cracking, wide wall cracks, and cracks that span around corners can sometimes mean you have a foundation issue. Identifying severe problems is a key reason why hiring a professional for plaster repair is usually a good idea.
