"Ferraz Plastering did a very professional job repairing a ceiling that was broken in a bedroom. They re plastered the entire ceiling, matching the pattern that was in the rest of the house. They are professional, knowledgeable and personable. They gave us options and explained the process. Also they arrived on time, performed the job efficiently and on time and cleaned very well once they were done. We highly recommend their services."

"Our family did a huge addition with a family basement(playroom) living room/dining room & master bedroom. Colin McCarthy's plastering was truly excellent!! 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!"

"We hired Bertie Walsh to re-do our garage ceiling which had been incorrectly repaired by a different contractor (not a contractor found on Angie's List).  Bertie was a godsend because after he removed the ceiling he pointed out to us that the previous contractor had failed to connect the blue board to the joist (not sure if that's the right word) and there also wasn't any strapping holding it to the subsurface, which would have caused it to eventually bow out.  Bertie put a new section of ceiling up and finished it with plaster and did a remarkable job matching the existing ceiling.

Bertie is quiet and hard working.  No fluff with this guy.  He's an honest, no-nonsense guy who will give you a very reasonable quote, will show up when he says he will, and then quietly and diligently do the work.  He cleaned up well after the work was completed.  I found myself looking for other things that needed plastering or handiwork around the house just so we could hire him again.  Yep, he is that good!

"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."

"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."

"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 apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.
