"George is an exceptional craftsman and plasterer. I am so glad we found him on home advisor and decided to hire him for this project. We needed our kitchen ceiling repaired after a leak from upstairs. We were concerned about making sure the texture matched the existing texture on our ceiling. George matched it perfectly. He was punctual, very professional, and took the time to properly prepare the area so that dust and plastering were contained to the work area. He removed kitchen/food prep items and dog dishes from the area so that they would not get too dusty. He cleaned up nicely and was friendly. Even after he was done, he made sure there was not any extra dust or plaster anywhere in the house. The ceiling looks great. It is like the leak never happened.! Thank you, George, for an outstanding job. It was a pleasure doing business with you. We will be sure to recommend you to friends and family looking for a plasterer."

"We can't express how thrilled we are with the remodel of our den/bathroom. Eric and Tom took great care in making the outdated room a beautiful space that we look forward to using. Their work ethic is outstanding. The job was done quickly and with care, and their pricing was excellent. We'll be using them again in the future. This is a "go-to" company! A+++"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

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.

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.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.
