"Antoine Galvan arrived promptly to provide an estimate, his crew was waiting before the start time the following morning. They worked clean and checked their work before asking me to do a walk-thru before payment. My neighbor and real estate agent raved about the paint job. I have referred Galvans Painting to both of them. He and his crew do phenomenal work. The cut-in work, orange peel, I could go on. They also pressure washed the exterior and it looks like a brand new home. They painted every room in a 2,000 sq. ft. home in two days before my moving truck arrived. I am truly glad I went with them. I am very pleased."

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Like many other repair projects, the cost to fix a behind-the-wall shower leak depends on several factors. The cost of your repair may depend on the type of leak (from a clog or burst pipe), type of piping, and location of the leak. 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 $150 to $600 to repair a leaking shower.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.
