"Chris Jordan and his team did an excellent job with my attic insulation. Chris was very professional and quite nice. He explained everything in detail during the consultation. I received four quotes and Chrisâ was quite comparable. I had a roof issue going on and wanted to complete the removal/replacement of the insulation in phases. Chris worked with me to complete the insulation as needed. His crew arrived on time. They covered work areas prior to working and ensured that everything was clean afterwards. They even did some extras without nickeling and diming me. The pricing was quite reasonable for all the effort they put in. I would definitely recommend Quality Insulation for the exceptional service provided."

"Mr. Dion Peeler was punctual when he arrived to quote the work and when he arrived to perform the work. He was able to diagnose the problem in a matter of minutes which included removing a section of wallboard. Dion replaced the outside hose spigot, replaced an inside ruptured pipe and re-installed the wallboard with very little evidence that a repair had been done. I was very impressed with Dion's commitment to customer satisfaction and the quality of his workmanship. I am a lifelong customer to Cyress Construction going forward! Best regards for a job well done"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

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.
