John repaired some water damaged ceilings in my house a month ago.  The job was fairly extensive and needed the plaster to match the swirl pattern in the rest of the house.  He did a very good job for me and kept the place clean by sealing off the area with plastic sheeting and covering the entire hardwood floor with heavy paper.  The job took two people two days and cost $1,500.  

Since John worked out so well, I brought him back for another smaller plastering job after a plumber had finished repairing some pipes for me.  He repaired some areas that had severe water damage and needed the old plaster cut out and replaced.  The job took two people 3/4 of a day and cost $550.  He knew exactly what to do, did good work, and cleaned up after himself.  I am an engineer who has contracted many private contractors to rebuild an renovate several homes that I have lived in over the years and can say with no reservations that John is top quality at a good price.

"John's work was excellent! He was here on time and completed the repair to our existing plastered walls in less than 2 weeks for a very large room including the ceiling and sloped walls. The result is nothing less than spectacular! I would hire him in an instant. Thank you, John!"

"Colin was just terrific--responsive, professional, cordial and efficient! His workmanship was top-notch, and the projects for which we hired him, including drywall and plaster repair and installation in several locations around our house, were completed on time and on budget. We'd give Colin and McCarthy Plastering more than five stars were that possible and hire him again without hesitation."

"George is an exceptional craftsman and plasterer. I am so glad we found him on home advisor and decided to hire him for this project. We needed our kitchen ceiling repaired after a leak from upstairs. We were concerned about making sure the texture matched the existing texture on our ceiling. George matched it perfectly. He was punctual, very professional, and took the time to properly prepare the area so that dust and plastering were contained to the work area. He removed kitchen/food prep items and dog dishes from the area so that they would not get too dusty. He cleaned up nicely and was friendly. Even after he was done, he made sure there was not any extra dust or plaster anywhere in the house. The ceiling looks great. It is like the leak never happened.! Thank you, George, for an outstanding job. It was a pleasure doing business with you. We will be sure to recommend you to friends and family looking for a plasterer."

"I needed a repair on my ceiling with a scroll pattern. I had quotes from several companies. MJM Plastring was the only one that indicated that I had a "sand finish scroll pattern" on my ceiling and replied that he had done repairs on these patterns before. He even sent a picture of a recent repair , not of a sand finish scroll, but of another pattern. I hired MJM for the job. Mike came and was the owner, indicate that the rest of his crew was at another job. Mike was professional in every respect. Put down plastic and cleaned up afterwords. I was very impressed with therepair. I cant even tell it was a repair as it blended in perfectly. I am very happy and would highly recommend MJM Plastering without hesitation."

"Bob did an exceptional job with plastering and smoothing over popcorn ceiling. There was added difficulty to the job due to harsh weather conditions which added more moisture and other variables, but Bob took care to provide clear and concise directions for me and for me to provide to other contractors. I would certainly recommend"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

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).

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.
