"Exploring for home maintenance work, I tapped into Angis List and contacted two suggested service companies. Oreo was prompt to contact me for details on the job. He pursued an onsite visit and noted all concerns followed by a same day bid by email. I received followup calls over a period of 3 months, finally determining to complete the projects in October 2024. Once the decision was confirmed, the project specialist reviewed the list of work on site the same day the contract was signed. My home was scrapped and painted, shutters removed and repainted, along with repairs to the eves, replacement of porch light frames and restoration of a desperately deilapidated fence. Communication and integrity are earmarks of this service agency. Both the contractor and the worker completing the project, were consistent in keeping me informed of the project and pursuing my approvals as the work progressed. The work quality was exceptional. I would recommend Oreo Maintenance without hesitation, Great Job Guys, reminiscent of the past 2 generations of pride taken in the craft and the job. Always put your name on your work. Thanks!"

"The  project went VERY well.  the painting crew was punctual and professional.  The whole project took approx 8-9 days.  As I stated before, a good amount of wall prep was needed, including some plaster repair.   To get all the walls ready for painting, the wall repair was done on both a Saturday and a Sunday...so the painters could come in on a Monday.  In a few areas, a lighter color was being painted over a 'darker' color - and needed more than two coats - Crew of World Painting recognized that issue - and proceeded to simply do what was necessary  - for the painting to look "right".   Great job, beautiful result."

"
I wasn't sure this would end up to be a good idea but, it turned out a very pleasant experience. They did it all from start to finish. They spent the first day and a half gathering the trash and debris left by the tenants. They must have pulled four trailers worth of mess out to the dump. Then they went through the whole place; removing nails from the walls, doing the patchwork on the plaster and lathe (where we wanted it repaired and pulled out where we wanted drywall replaced), sanding all the spots and removing the mess. Then they started in with the heavy repairs in the putting in a couple of windows and hanging the drywall where needed, they taped off all the walls, fixtures and windows to ready it for paint. After painting and waiting for it to dry; then they started outside clearing out the brush and debris left behind. They also worked to dress up the yard with great ideas like window boxes and fresh flowers! . They did all the paint work inside the house and finished up by touching up the outside paint. They went back through the house last time and shampooed the carpets, cleaned the stove and fridge, and put fresh new chalk in all the needed spots. I know I may not have all the right terminology but, these folks Really saved the day! When they left the place was spotless and the time and money we spent was well worth giving up the headache of that mess to someone else and finding they'd done a great job! Wonderful!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

The success of plaster repair depends heavily on addressing Springfield weather challenges. The region experiences frequent freeze-thaw cycles and extreme temperature shifts that cause untreated cracks to reopen. You must fix any moisture leaks from roofs or windows first. For homes in historic neighborhoods, matching the original lime or gypsum materials is essential to prevent future cracking. Always ensure the underlying wood lath remains secure.

Helpful?

Always test for lead paint and asbestos before starting plaster repair in older IL homes. State and federal regulations require strict safety protocols when disturbing these hazardous materials. If you live in a designated historic district, contact the local planning department to verify exterior or interior modification rules. Furthermore, assess your foundation, as the expansive clay soil in Sangamon County causes ongoing structural movement and wall cracking.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake is performing plaster repair during an IL winter without proper heating. Applying materials in temperatures below 40 degrees prevents proper curing. Another major error involves patching over water damage without fixing the leaky roof or chimney first. Homeowners also frequently ignore failing wood lath or expansive clay soil settlement issues. Test for lead paint and asbestos before sanding older walls to protect your health.

Helpful?

Prioritize plaster repair near rooflines and chimneys, as active water leaks quickly expand the damage. Next, inspect ceilings in pre-1950 homes for plaster separating from the wood lath. Falling ceiling sections pose a serious safety hazard and require immediate professional attention. Finally, seal the areas around original single-pane windows before the harsh Springfield winter arrives to prevent condensation from destroying your walls.

Helpful?

Combining plaster repair with electrical, HVAC, or insulation upgrades is highly beneficial. Plumbers and electricians must open walls to replace old wiring or run new ductwork. Adding blown-in insulation also requires drilling into your walls. Sequence these structural and utility upgrades first so you avoid repairing the same surfaces twice. Schedule this work between May and September to ensure the Springfield weather supports proper curing.
