"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

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

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.

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.

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.

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.
