392 Excellent! Ricky and his team were fast and thorough. I was worried about the plaster wall, but he was able to install the TV and disguise the wires using a wire cover. He reinstalled the cable boxes and sound bars. We are very pleased with his work and would 100% hire him again.
Joe from Hurd Home Services is by far and away the best contractor we have ever found. This project was just the latest in a series of work that he has done in our home. We had some water damage to the plaster wall in our bedroom from an ice dam accumulating on our exterior wall last winter....
Hurd Home ServicesI initially called Paul for my small plastering job. He made a big effort to fit this small job into his schedule, and he did a beautiful, extremely neat job on my plaster for an very reasonable price. Since he also does general handyman work, I contracted him to replace an exterior door that...
We wanted real plaster done rather than a quicker repair with drywall, but if the same situation arises again, we will consider drywall.
The lady who answered the phone was extremely responsive and very sweet. We noticed the bubbles in the ceiling plaster late in the day and she was on her way out of the office by the time I called her. But she called me back on her cell phone and we made the appointment via text messages so...
The worker was very efficient, knew what he was doing, explained it well to me, and answered all my questions. I had removed all of the paint and wallpaper on the three living room walls, which exposed lots of nail holes and other defects. He filled the holes, skim coated where necessary...
Cecilia responded via text, email or phone. Came down, gave me an estimate, returned for the work. Everything went as planned, as expected, no surprises. We have used her since to repair some plaster and repaint in our own home.
The process was smooth, from initial visit, to receiving the estimate, to beginning and completing the project. In addition to repairing plaster and drywall damage, Carlos and his helper worked h****** deteriorated sub-grade masonry in basement. Seeing what a good and thorough job they did...

"Howard does very good work and very dependable. Unfortunately, he was unable to finish the job because he was called to another site for inspection. The work was completed by a very nice gentleman but he used my trash can to mix the grout and used it for water to spread the grout. Unfortunately, I had to clean my trash can. He had no tools to hang the new curtain rod. He was informed by Howard what needed to be done the day before. I was given the option for someone to come and hang the rod but since I already had one up, I declined. All in all, I am happy with the work that was done. Kevin always tries to work with me on my projects and gives me the best price. They are professional, competent, knowledgeable, and caring. I highly recommend House Doctors."

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.
Repairing plaster walls is almost always worthwhile. Not only will plaster repairs make your walls look new again, but repairs of minor cracks can often reinforce the plaster and help prevent the cracks from spreading and widening. Additionally, hiring a professional to carry out plaster wall repair means they can let you know if the cracking is a result of a severe underlying issue. Catching a problem like foundation instability early could save you thousands, a luxury you wouldn’t have if you just repaired the walls yourself.
Plaster repair costs range from $4 to $10 per square foot for refinishing, while skim coating can be less expensive, usually between $2 and $5 per square foot. The price you pay for plaster repairs will depend on the extent of the damage, the type of plaster you have on your walls, and the accessibility of the damage. Plaster repair on the exterior of your home tends to be more expensive, as there’s a higher chance that ladders or scaffolding will be necessary to carry out the repair.
It is possible to repair plaster walls yourself, but it’s not always a good idea. Hiring a professional means you’ll have expert eyes on the damage looking to see if there is an underlying issue or if the cracks are just from normal expansion and contraction. Additionally, a professional’s plaster repair will very likely last longer than a DIY job, which means you could end up saving money over time by going with a pro from the start.
All plaster walls will crack over time with expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes, as well as from normal house settling. In these cases, the cracks will usually be thin and don’t mean there are major structural issues. However, excessive cracking, wide wall cracks, and cracks that span around corners can sometimes mean you have a foundation issue. Identifying severe problems is a key reason why hiring a professional for plaster repair is usually a good idea.
