"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."

"Bertie came out to look at the gate on a Wednesday night. He pointed out that he could also replace some wooden pickets on the fence which I needed to have done but didn't think about asking him as getting the gate repaired was more important. He came out on Friday morning and repaired the gate and replaced pickets as well as secure a section of fencing. He did a great job. Bertie was very polite and punctual. He kept in contact with me the entire time. I would definitely hire Bertie again and I highly recommend him."

"Nelson and his assistant were excellent. They repaired several holes that an electrician had left in my bathroom wall drywall. They were efficient and left the walls with nice smooth surfaces and cleaned up when the job was done. I highly recommend NE Plastering and Painting!"

"Do not pay in full, as it will leave a sour taste afterwards. I hired them to install some drywalls and plasters smooth the surface. During the process, everything seems to be okay. When they finished with the plastering, the wall looks decent when wet so we paid them in full thinking everything was good. However, after a few days the cracks and gap starts to appear after drying. Immediately, we contacted them to come back to fix the issue. The owner arranged to come by in the evening. He brought some compound and applied it over the surface. Yet, the marks are still visible and in some areas where the two sheet rocks meet up shows cracking. He blamed the heat was too high however that was not the case since the weather was quite nice for the past we allowed it to dry naturally. The painters said they can try to fix it but the cost will be extra. Whenever things go a bit sour in a job, I always tell myself, 'I should hold back on the last payment until everything checked out.'"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Schedule plaster repair immediately if you spot new ceiling stains or soft spots following a heavy Worcester ice dam season. Diagonal cracking after a hard winter signals frost heave and requires urgent attention. If your home approaches fifty years without updates, the original lath anchors will fail. Address these issues promptly, especially when preparing for a home inspection or complying with state lead paint regulations.

Helpful?

A major mistake during plaster repair is applying modern gypsum over historic lime plaster. This rigid material cracks quickly during a harsh MA freeze-thaw cycle. Homeowners also err by patching over active moisture issues like ice dam leaks without fixing the roof first. Finally, ignoring lead paint safety protocols in older homes poses severe health risks. Always test for lead and manage room temperatures before starting work.

Helpful?

For historic homes in MA, authentic plaster repair requires breathable, lime-based patching materials rather than standard gypsum compounds. Gypsum traps moisture and cracks during extreme temperature shifts. Use metal lath or fiberglass mesh to bridge damaged sections securely. Deep holes demand a traditional three-coat application to prevent shrinking. Always utilize proper lead-safe containment supplies to protect your household when working on pre-1978 painted surfaces.

Helpful?

Watch for stair-step cracks radiating from windows and doors, which indicate foundation settling common in Worcester. Bulging or soft plaster means moisture has compromised the wall structure. Brown stains on exterior walls signal brick mortar failure allowing water inside. If cracks reappear after completing plaster repair, structural movement is occurring. Address these signs promptly with a local professional to protect your home from further damage.

Helpful?

Start your routine in late fall by checking top-floor ceilings and chimneys before the Worcester winter begins. In late winter, inspect for fresh stains or bulging caused by ice dams. Use the late spring to plan your plaster repair, and monitor basement walls for moisture during humid summer months. Complete all patching by early fall so materials cure properly before the dry heating season starts.
