"Wired 2 Build, Joe Boyd and son Justin Boyd, were an absolute team in the replacement of Kitchen and bedroom floors. They had to tear out old rotted floors, re-level house, install new floor joists, install 3/4 inch plyboard, and installed laminate flooring on top of plyboard. New molding was installed all around walls. They did an excellent job in an above reasonable time-frame. I would highly recommend his professional services. He was reasonably priced. Will hire again for future home remodeling."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

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

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).
