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>

"I initially got Extreme Construction to fix my roof, (that was leaking), and drywall damaged by the leak. They did a good job and cleaned up any mess. My roof continued to leak. It is a new addition that has been worked on several times over s 10 year period. I finally gave in and hired Extreme Construction to put a metal roof on my house. Which, is no small job. I have 4,000 SF to cover, with 3 different addition areas. James,the head contractor, was very explained everything and is very knowledgable and nice. Im fact, the whole crew was great. My roof did not leak during the hard rain last night, for the first time in 10 years. The price was good and James was up front. He was more than fair. I plan on doing more projects in the future, and I will be calling Extreme Construction. When people are working on your most prized possession it is imperative that they are knowledgable and trustworthy. This company exceeded my expectations in these areas."
