"Repairs some plaster walls previously damaged by a storm. He was prompt, worked efficiently to repair, sand and repaint the walls then cleaned up afterwards. I have worked in home renovations and therefore have an appreciation of good workmanship...he did excellent work and he was very fair in his pricing. I won't hesitate to use him again."

"Joe from YB Construction was fabulous, and so professional. His work regarding plastering and drywall repair due to a pipe leak was incredible. His plastering and drywall repair work was so smooth and really perfect. Plus, because of the water leak, the rug got totally unusable. Joe installed a new laminate floor with molding around the edges. Once again, amazing perfect work. I have had many service people over the years and Joe’s company is right up there being the best. His pricing is very fair and a big plus he shows up when he is supposed to and on time. I would highly recommend Joe and his company YB Construction for your needs. I couldn’t be happier."

"After interviewing and receiving quotes from five contractors, we chose Westwork to skim coat and paint the walls and ceiling of our sun room to transform it from stucco to plaster. Wally, who performed the work, was a magician. He abraded the stucco to as level as possible, then he applied several coats of plaster to both the walls and ceiling. The corners now have a crisp 90 degree angle. After completing the plastering, he painted walls and ceiling. The entire job took six working days. We are extremely please with the results."

"Hiring Jose was a no brainer! He was eager to perform the job and that enthusiasm didn’t wain once hired. Jose arrived promptly each workday, he finished the work in the quoted timeframe, he was extremely professional and knowledgable of needs for the job. We had broken and cracked plaster walls and ceiling that were in need of repair. We thought that we would be committed to the stucco walls forever, but Jose helped us determine the best method for repair based on our needs. He quoted us fairly and I couldn't be happier that we chose him for the job. No more stucco on the sun porch!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Abraham and his team. They were indispensible during a challenging and stressful move. Not only did they do a superb job of installing a ceiling fan to an 18ft ceiling, multiple patch repairs, seamlessly replacing and installing bathroom extractor fans that into non standard sized spaces, filling countless nail holes and repainting, and reattaching a dislodged dishwasher, Abraham did all of this amidst the chaos of a move and made MULTIPLE trips to Home Depot to color match paints when I provided the wrong cans. He was patient, thorough, and went WAY above and beyond any expectations in both service, execution, and generosity. If you have anything you need done in your home, make these guys your first call!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.

With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.

However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.
