"Spoke with Adam about the repairs (drywall replacement, patching, and two different paints to match the existing paints). I sent follow-up pictures of the areas to be repaired. Dave came out and provided an estimate for the repairs and painting. The estimate came back and was in line with what I had expected. We scheduled a date for repairs, Wednesday for the patching and Thursday for the painting. Dave returned to do the drywall work and did an excellent job installing the new drywall and patching other areas we had contracted for. John came over the next day to finish the walls and painted them. Again, excellent work. The paint matching really impressed me. The match was spot on and John feathered it in so well I could not tell where the old paint ended and the new paint started. I am very pleased with the work Adam and his team did."

"It took me several months to get Phil scheduled and rescheduled, including a lot of chasing by me. When he came to do the job he was supposed to be accompanied by a second person, but was not. This limited the work he could do because 2 people were needed. Therefore, the job stretched out over a few days. During the work, my garage floor was covered in spots of plaster and paint. Inside the house there was drywall splatter and drops from the main bathroom across my entire kitchen and living room, up the stairs, down the hallway into the other room that needed work. No tarps were used throughout the house except on the stairs and in the rooms (but there was still significant clean up there because the tarps did not cover it all). The clean up was twice a day for a couple days and by me. He said he could clean up, but "would I rather pay him to do the work or clean up." The job was paid by time. In addition, there are lots of blue tape particles stuck in the ceiling paint along the wall line that leaves a blue tint to the walls in both rooms. There was also two gashes left in the bathroom wall (made by a box knife) that he did not tell me about. When I pointed it out, he said he must have done it when he fell off the ladder. He did put some putty in it right before he left. I am happy with the end product, both ceilings look good, but overall I felt he was not professional including the difficulties in getting him scheduled (3 months) adding in the clean up I had to do; the ranking is fair. I have used other contractors who took a lot of care in respecting my property and my time who did not cost a much as he did."

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.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

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.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.
