"Nike and the Cape Cod Fine Finish crew are meticulous in their prep and delivery of their final product. We had the exterior of our home repaired (shingle and trim replacement), sanded, primed and painted. His team arrived every day on time, diligently worked until end of day and completed the work on schedule. Their work was outstanding, the best I have ever seen, with great attention to detail. The crew was very polite, cleaned up every day, there were no spills and my plants were well protected. Honestly, their work is the best I have seen to date! Definitely worth the money!"

"I wish that I had asked for a quote on the project first so that I could see the breakdown. The project was twice as much as I had budgeted for. Initially I was told the hourly rate of the person providing the estimate and that it would be 1 day of work. I most likely would still have had the project done by this company but I would have planned differently."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.

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.

It is possible to repair plaster walls yourself, but it’s not always a good idea. Hiring a professional means you’ll have expert eyes on the damage looking to see if there is an underlying issue or if the cracks are just from normal expansion and contraction. Additionally, a professional’s plaster repair will very likely last longer than a DIY job, which means you could end up saving money over time by going with a pro from the start.

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.

Yes, to some extent, you can speed up the time it takes plaster to dry and cure. Choose a time of year when humidity levels are somewhere in the middle, neither too high nor too low, to allow moisture to evaporate from the plaster effectively. Also, open a window or set up a fan in the room to improve ventilation.

Don't use a dehumidifier in an attempt to speed up drying time, as a dehumidifier may suck moisture from the air too quickly, leading to crumbly plaster.
