"I needed kitchen ceiling and bathroom ceiling repairs done on an older home with plaster walls and ceilings. The job was done well, and it was finished ahead of schedule. It was estimated to take 3 days and was done in just 2. They isolated the kitchen and the bathroom from the rest of the house to keep the dust and debris contained. At the end, they thoroughly cleaned up. I appreciated that. I would hire them again to do more work on the house."

"The dry wall specialist came out at the appointed time and date. Followed through for three days, coming when he said he would - all on time. He did a superb job of drywall repair and matching the 17 year old paint that was on the walls. I would highly recommend Jim Ness and Co for any job. They are coming out to install wall and floor cabinets because I trust them."

"DL Boyd was absolutely amazing to work with -- scheduling was easy and Sharon + Mr. Boyd offered a comprehensive plan to solve my plaster/drywall issue. They were able to get someone out the very next day. Benjamin Gaston, who was my contractor the following day was INCREDIBLE -- beyond patient, helpful, and thorough in the job, and very willing to go above and beyond in response to many of my questions. Couldn't rate these guys higher!"

"Murray made it very easy! His price was fair and the work was well done. He also repaired some water-damaged trim on the house, and when the paint didn't quite match, he took care of it to make sure that it did match."

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

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.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.
