"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

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.

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.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
