"Gene the plaster guy was so professional? He covered every thing so well that there was no dust in the house! He was on time and my ceiling he repaired looks excellent. He was a big help in explaining how and when to paint the ceiling. His work is top notch, he is a true artist. He did everything he promised and then some! I would recommend him.to anyone needing plaster work done in their home or business."

"We called a couple of different places to get a kal-kote plastering quote for a wall we added onto. We went with Billy at Crown Plastering because of the way he carried himself. Billy was able to fit us in that week and completed the job in just a couple of hours. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. I have messaged him with several questions after he already completed the job. He responds quickly, and has answered all of our questions. He did a great job on our wall, and I definitely recommend him!"

"They arrived when they said. I think it was early afternoon.  I let them in and went back to work. When I got home that evening I thought they would still be there but they were gone and the job was done. They came by later to pick up the check. Friendly and they know what they are doing. Plaster work is a specialty and when you have older homes sometimes you  have to pay more.  I  thought it was a bit pricey but  it was plaster work and I am not familiar with pricing, so it may have been right on.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

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.

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.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
