"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 Graziano responded quickly to my initial request through the HomeAdvisor website, then responded quickly to coming to my house, looking at the repair job, texting me an estimate, and coming to do the job. So his communication is quick and straightford. His drywall/plaster work is excellent--he removed and repaired a 3Ã 7 foot section of water-damaged ceiling-- it looks great and is ready to be painted with no additional prep! So: 1. Communication and scheduling: excellent, 2. Craftsmanship and Work-habits: excellent. What more can I say? I would hire him again, and I recommend him without reservation to do your drywall/plastering job. Thanks George!"

"Pedro was great and very professional. I had a hole behind my stove that I needed patched. Pedro came promptly at the agreed upon time and completed the job efficiently. He even went above and beyond and repaired some of the plastering along the side wall. A great experience overall."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

Repairing plaster walls or ceilings is almost always worthwhile. It restores the appearance of your home, and if it's an exterior wall, the repair can improve curb appeal and provide a great return on investment when selling. Plaster repairs can also reinforce the wall, preventing minor cracks from spreading, and improve your home’s energy efficiency by fixing gaps in the insulative material, potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, hiring a professional allows them to check if the damage is from a serious underlying issue, such as foundation instability. Catching a problem like this early could save you thousands.

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.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.
