"Great! We had a list of repairs that built-up over the years and Bill did a thorough, beautiful job of attending to everything. He's meticulous with his work and was a pleasure to work with. Bill explained the nature of the repairs needed and answered all our questions. It's a relief to have these repairs made -- we are in better shape than when the work was first done (by someone else.)"

"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!"

"I must say I was nervous about allowing a carpet service do repair on my laminate hardware floor. They sure did a absolutely amazing job! I mean I was completely speechless at the superb quality of work and the time it took them to complete the job was mindblowing! After completing this job for me, I'll be using them for any carpet, tile, hardwood floor installs in the future for sure!"

"We hired Precision Renovation after the city damaged the foundation of our building when they installed brick pavement in the alley. After getting several bids, Precision provided the most comprehensive estimate and very reasonable cost (although they were not the cheapest of bids, they were the most professional and detail oriented contractors). Fast forward 18 months, a delivery truck hit one of our retaining walls. Again, we got several estimates, and we called on Precision to provide one of those estimates. We choose Precision for the job, their estimate was inline with the other contractors, and were familiar and trusted the quality of Precision s work Like before, they were very professional, detailed oriented, cost effective and reliable. In both cases, they did the repairs in a timely fashion, finished products looked like there were no prior damages, and unlike many contractors, they did not start and stop, then come back in x-number of days/weeks to complete the project... They started and completed the job without any gaps of days/weeks in between the project. We highly recommend Precision and look forward to working with them again."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.

Wondering who to call for ceiling repair? While you can hire a handyperson to fix minor cracks, you’ll want to hire a drywall professional for larger issues. Depending on the cause of the crack, you may need to hire other contractors, such as a foundation contractor, mold remediation company, roofer, or plumber near you.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

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.
