"My ceiling in my living room had water damage from a A/C Unit melt off due to a frozen coil. After replacing the bad A/C Unit we called Bonillas Master Touch for an estimate on replacing the damaged ceiling drywall. They came out and after checking it out, gave us a great quote on the repair. A few days later they came out and did all the work in the one visit. Clean job, looks amazing, all I need to do now is paint it (they offered that service too if you prefer) I highly recommend this company, great people, amazing job. Very happy."

"We had a sump installed and needed to re-install sections of the drywall. The job was completed quickly (less than one day). Team took care with the clean up after the job was completed. In addition to dry wall work, they do remodeling, etc. I would definitely contact Jose’s for another project."

"We have had multiple contractors work at our 1938 house over the 30 years we have owned the home. Carl was by far one of the best contractors we have hired. He is very responsive, his pricing is more than fair and he really cares about the quality of his work. I highly recommend Carl if you need plaster repaired, painted and you want your wall/ceiling look better than when it was built!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
