"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!"

"Ferraz Plastering did a very professional job repairing a ceiling that was broken in a bedroom. They re plastered the entire ceiling, matching the pattern that was in the rest of the house. They are professional, knowledgeable and personable. They gave us options and explained the process. Also they arrived on time, performed the job efficiently and on time and cleaned very well once they were done. We highly recommend their services."

"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."

"Con was prompt in responding to my call and came the next day to give an estimate on ceiling and wall repairs which covered two floors. Throughout the process, Con was very professional and responsive. He laid down paper and plastic sheeting to protect everything and removed all debris afterward. I would definitely hire Con again for future plastering needs."

"We hired Bertie Walsh to re-do our garage ceiling which had been incorrectly repaired by a different contractor (not a contractor found on Angie's List).  Bertie was a godsend because after he removed the ceiling he pointed out to us that the previous contractor had failed to connect the blue board to the joist (not sure if that's the right word) and there also wasn't any strapping holding it to the subsurface, which would have caused it to eventually bow out.  Bertie put a new section of ceiling up and finished it with plaster and did a remarkable job matching the existing ceiling.

Bertie is quiet and hard working.  No fluff with this guy.  He's an honest, no-nonsense guy who will give you a very reasonable quote, will show up when he says he will, and then quietly and diligently do the work.  He cleaned up well after the work was completed.  I found myself looking for other things that needed plastering or handiwork around the house just so we could hire him again.  Yep, he is that good!

"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."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Whether you can install or repair plaster yourself depends on the project's size and your comfort level with DIY projects. It's possible to handle small repairs on your own, but for larger projects like a room restoration or a full installation, it's often best to hire a local plaster professional. The final appearance, even coverage, and durability of the plaster depend heavily on proper wall preparation and application. If you are not 100% confident in your ability to achieve a professional result, letting an expert handle the job is a worthwhile investment.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.
