"Very personable. Was available quickly and at a significantly better price than the other two estimates. He primed the repaired areas even though I told him I would do it myself later. Just recommended to my son, so there you go."

"All I can say is he is amazing. I had a complicated plaster need that had been poorly done by previous contractors and had reached the point of thinking a good looking ceiling was not possible. He proved me wrong and helped with other things and was flexible and helpful in every way possible. Hire him !!"

"Great job by a local small business. Quick communication and the best price of the 4 bids I got for my 20x20 garage ceiling drywall repair (replacing a 4x4 section, taping, mudding, refastening other loose Sheetrock and retaping/remuding other loose tape elsewhere on the ceiling). Jacob, the co-owner came out for the estimate and did a great job on the repair. Professional and funny, he discussed options, arrived on time, finished quickly and cleaned everything up afterwards. Couldnâ t be happier."

"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.)"

"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!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.

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.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.
