"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Many services include repainting to match the existing surface. Confirm with your provider.

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.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

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.

It depends on the construction of your wall. Most handypeople can fix small holes in drywall. If your wall is plaster or brick, more significant damage may require a drywall contractor or a mason. Hiring a handyperson costs less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.
