"I selected Ferraz Plastering off Angi’s list. It was a plaster repair job due to a hole in the roof causing water damage. After the wet material was removed, Erick came in reinsulated the ceiling and did great job on the plastering. Also they painted all the walls even though it was only necessary to paint two of the walls. He also made sure the insulation completely covered the exposed area to the roof. I would recommend Erick again for any ceiling, painting or plastering job!"

He even did venetian plastering on my dining room ceiling. My husband & I were SO impressed by his work/work ethic. He was prompt, highly efficient & left the house clean every day. We enthusiastically recommend McCarthy plastering for ANY home remodeling!"

"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."

"Excellent work, excellent price, done in a timely manner. Alesandro and his crew did an outstanding plastering job on replacing very damaged ceilings in multiple rooms of my home. They worked with good attitudes and left my house very neat. I would definitely recommend them and hire them again!"

"Matt was super responsive and kind. He got in and did the job within days of us requesting a quote. We are finishing our basement which is cement blocks. We attempted to start to plaster and decided we could not do it. Matt and his team plastered the walls over where we had failed and made them look gorgeous. We were not home at the time and when we got home, our jaws dropped. Highly recommend."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

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.

Like many other repair projects, the cost to fix a behind-the-wall shower leak depends on several factors. The cost of your repair may depend on the type of leak (from a clog or burst pipe), type of piping, and location of the leak. The extent of the issue and how difficult it is to access the pipes can greatly impact and increase your price. On average, you can expect to pay around $150 to $600 to repair a leaking shower.

While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you’re not sure what’s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you’re up for the task, here’s how to repair ceiling cracks for $150 or less.
