"I recently had B & R Painting Home Improvement at my home, and they did an amazing job. The owner, Ronaldo Renzo, came with another painter and they painted the walls from my hallway into the kitchen, plus the ceilings. Everything looks super clean, bright, and professionally done. They also went above and beyond by fixing a hole in the wall, repairing a cabinet, and making sure a drawer that wasn?t sliding right now works smoothly. They were on time, respectful in my home, and cleaned up completely before they left. I?m so happy with their work that I?m already having them come back to paint my living room next."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Skimming is covering drywall with a layer of drywall compound after installation or to smooth old walls. Plastering is covering walls with a mixture of gypsum or lime, cement or sand, and water. Plastering is more costly and labor-intensive than skim coating. Some homeowners and professionals refer to skim coating as plastering, even though the material spread over the wall is totally different.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.
