"Tony answered my phone call on my first ring—no having to go through a receptionist or wait on a call back. He was at my house within one business week and quoted me 30% lower than another “big name” company I also had stop by for a quote. The work I needed done was fixing a sagging plaster ceiling. His employee was in and out in under 2 hours and the work looks great. They matched the texturing very well and you can barely tell a repair was ever made/needed. Although I hope I don’t ever need the services again, I would not hesitate to call back and let them do any work around my home."

"The job was done quickly and efficiently. I will use them for any projects I need to be done in the future. If it is something that they can work with, that is. So far, the price that I was quoted for this project was absolutely the best that I had been quoted by anyone else. Jose, was in and out in about 15 minutes with this project. Although it was nothing major he still got it finished quickly."

"Job went great. I received quotes from three firms and Ables was in the middle. However, I felt most comfortable with the Ables firm after meeting with Wayne and hired him. The job was pretty big and Wayne and I worked together on a time that they could do it. Wayne was very cooperative. Keith (Wayne's partner / employee) was there for over a week. Keith was very attentive to details. He even agreed to fix some cracks in other areas of the house at the request of my wife. Wayne and Keith worked together on the job and I am very pleased with the end product. I would highly recommend this firm. Wayne and Keith are very nice guys and know what they are doing when it comes to drywall installation and plaster repair. They were great to work with."

"Excellent work and extremely reasonable cost. I had 2 other bids each over $13,000. Rock Solid did a high quality job for $9,357. I have since hired them again to replace our chimney cap and flashing. Another outstanding job at a great price. Each time, they did excellent work. When they finished they cleaned up thoroughly. It’s been 5 years since our new roof was installed and I have found a total of 5 dropped roofing nails in the bushes. That’s incredible. They literally got on their hands and knees to search for ones that dropped and picked them up. The crews are very friendly and professional. Mr Ellis, the owner, is also very friendly, professional, thorough and honest. He won’t try to talk you in to something you don’t need. His prices are very reasonable. His work is of the highest quality and he is there when he says he’ll be. I am confident in recommending Rock Solid for any contracting needs you have. They are awesome!!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

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.

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.
