"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

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

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.

There are several warning signs that a ceiling crack is connected to a larger issue. For starters, if the crack is wider than 1/8 inch or longer than 12 inches, you might have a more serious problem. The same applies if you have multiple smaller cracks or cracks going across the ceiling and down the wall. In any of these situations, you should ask a professional to assess the damage.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

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.
