"We recently hired KT Blueboard Plastering to repair the horsehair walls and ceilings in our 100+yr old home. I was very impressed with this company from our first meeting. As a stay at home mom of four, I need someone to not only do a great job but I also need them to accommodate the needs of my family. The team that works on my house was friendly and professional. They arrived when they said they would and let me know what the plan was. When they left for the day my home was clean and safe for my for my children. My walls and ceilings are beautiful! My house was put back together at the end of the project and was clean which is such a blessing after such a big project. We will definitely have KT Blueboard Plastering back for future projects! Everyone who has seen my home are very impressed with the high quality of the work!"

"We hired DM Plastering to repair the rear wall of the sanctuary in our church which was built in the late 1800s. The wall is ~40â  wide and ~30â  in height and the plaster was starting to peel off the studs and was cracked in many areas. Having a 4 day program coming up, the church was in need of expedited service to repair the wall. DM Plastering responded quickly to our need and in just 2 days installed blue board and re-plastered the entire wall. The crew was polite and worked diligently to meet our tight schedule."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
