Is it worth it to repair plaster walls?

• <div><p>Repairing plaster walls or ceilings is almost always worthwhile. It restores the appearance of your home, and if it's an exterior wall, the repair can improve curb appeal and provide a great return on investment when selling. Plaster repairs can also reinforce the wall, preventing minor cracks from spreading, and improve your home’s energy efficiency by fixing gaps in the insulative material, potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, hiring a professional allows them to check if the damage is from a serious underlying issue, such as foundation instability. Catching a problem like this early could save you thousands.</p></div>

The extent of the issue and how difficult it is to access the pipes can greatly impact and increase your price. On average, you can expect to pay around <b>$150 to $600</b> to repair a leaking shower.</p></div>

Q: Does mounting a TV damage the wall?

• <div><p>You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you&rsquo;re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall.
