"Rick did a great job on a difficult project that included removing sub-par work by previous contractors, mating new drywall to existing plaster, repairing 57 y.o. plaster walls and ceilings then painting. Looks great and he is the consummate professional."

"Working with JHR was a very smooth process. I had a leak in my ceiling and plumbers came out to cut a hole in the ceiling and repair the pipe. I sent Juan a photo of the hole in drywall via email, and they sent back a quote within a few hours. Their quote was in a professional format, and was the cheapest of the 3 quotes I received. I ended up hiring them and Rogelio came out on a Saturday to complete the work. The final product was beautiful, and it looked like there was never a hole there in the first place. They also repainted the ceiling which now looks way better than it did before! I will definitely be hiring them for future repair projects and painting (which is their specialty)."

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

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.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.
