"We had two ceiling issues: part of kitchen ceiling was coming loose and part of living room ceiling had effects of water damage from when a tree went through our roof. The kitchen ceiling is smooth and the living room has a pattern. Mr. Hensel treated our home as if it were his own. He covered all of the floor so well and then put up plastic to cover the walls. He finished both projects in 2 days - 9-10 hours of work. Extremely talented plaster artist! We are SO pleased and it cost so much less than I expected; such a relief! And, by the way, he is very pleasant!"

"Matt replaced and repaired drywall after we had water in our basement. He showed up on time, did very nice work, was courteous to deal with, and cleaned up well when he was finished. I would definitely recommend him, and we will go to him if we have future drywall or plaster work needs."

"Mike with Artios Painting did an excellent job. He was on time, very responsive, and started work right away. He is more old-school and prefers phone calls instead of texting, which worked fine for me and communication was always clear. He kept me informed throughout the entire project and made sure everything was done correctly. The finished work looks great and you can definitely see the improvement in the before and after pictures. I would hire him again and highly recommend Artios Painting to anyone needing quality painting/repair work. He also a jack of all trades."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Like many other repair projects, the cost to fix a behind-the-wall shower leak depends on several factors. The cost of your repair may depend on the type of leak (from a clog or burst pipe), type of piping, and location of the leak. The extent of the issue and how difficult it is to access the pipes can greatly impact and increase your price. On average, you can expect to pay around $150 to $600 to repair a leaking shower.

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.
