"We had two plaster (not plasterboard) ceiling patches that needed repair and a plasterboard repair in a bathroom that required removing a toilet and the vanity. The work on all of the plastering repairs was fantastic. They also repainted the bathroom and remounted all of the bathroom fixtures so we didn't have to remove things for painting later. They started the work a week after we requested it and finished in two days. We plan to use them again when we need to minor plaster repair done to our walls."

"Saul did a great job some cracks and drywall that needed to be repaired. It was a small job for him I’m sure - but he was able to get it done in a short time frame. Would definitely hire him again."

"Rick called me because he would be late. Not many people call to let you know he would be late. That in itself is high praise. The job was to put up a light fixture in my kitchen above my sink. The fixture was not as big as the one being replaced but Rick worked his magic and I am very pleased with the outcome. He also cleans the mess so everything is spic n span."

"We've worked with MJ on 3 large projects now on a north shore historic home and a condo in River North. The projects included plaster repair, ceiling and wall painting, staining, skim coating a textured plaster room with coved ceilings, highly detailed paint lines on coved ceilings, and placing a satin/mirror finish on coffered ceilings. We'd worked with a number of painters before working with MJ, and his work is unparalleled. His attention to detail is far beyond any contractor we've worked with. His pricing is always fair - we'd received ~15 quotes prior to our initial project with MJ. It is clear that he pursues excellence in his work and believes in executing projects the right way. He's always extremely professional. We are highly particular when it comes to painting and we've always been very happy with the work. I've recommended MJ extensively to others and highly recommend saving yourself the trouble of working with anyone else. MJ can be in high demand, so I recommend planning ahead, though he has been able to fit us in on short notice."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

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.

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 short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.
