"The drywall and ceiling repairs look great. Kevin was here both days on time and was finished when expected. He covered and protected surrounding areas and furniture while he worked. Cleaned up and put everything back when he was done. Mr Bowersock has many years of experience and it shows."

"I have a limited income and was needing to find a good quality company that I felt I could trust and was affordable. I got a few quotes. But I felt Nathan Golden was a man of quality and he was willing to work within my budget and well exceed the others I had talked to. His crew was on time, very courteous, and respectful throughout their visit. They power scrubbed my gutters, painted my exterior house trim, front door, & shutters and repaired some wood rotting over my garage door. Since I was about to have surgery & wouldn't be able to do it - at the last minute I asked if they would paint a few of my interior Living Room walls. They did it beautifully and was again, affordable for me. And his team did it MUCH faster than I would have been able to do it. They are all very hard workers. They were here for about 5-6 hours doing ALL of that, everything cleaned up and were gone and my house looking brand new. I've had many compliments from my neighbors. They say it really brightens my neighborhood up. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them to anyone."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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 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.

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.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly.
