"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

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

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.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.
