Q: How do I match the wall texture after making repairs?

• <div><p>It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-texture-tips-and-trends.htm">drywall texture type</a> 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. </p></div>

Q: How long does plaster repair take?

• <div><p>Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.</p></div>

Q: What tool is used to sand plaster?

• <div><p>The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you&rsquo;re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease&mdash;and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of plastering?

• <div><p>Plastering comes at a higher cost than installing drywall, but it also provides some pretty enticing benefits. First, plaster usually lasts longer than drywall, so long-term costs will usually be lower. Second, plaster is a highly insulative material, so it might help make your living area feel more comfortable and keep your heating and cooling costs lower, especially in the summer and winter. Finally, plastering is naturally textured, so it helps hide imperfections and often adds warmth to your home that drywall won&rsquo;t.</p></div>

Michael repaired water damage to our living room ceiling. This included repairing drywall, mudding and texturing ceiling and repainting the ceiling in the living room and hallway. He was always polite, very responsive with all communications, was always on time, and helpful in all ways.
