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 I could lock in their next available time. Luis came out about 3 days later to do the work. He assessed as much as he could without having to cut holes or take things apart, and determined that the leak was in the fittings of the pipes between the walls of the second floor. Unfortunately, that wall was tiled on the bathroom side and built-in bookcases on the other side, so there was no way to access the leak through the wall without requiring expensive repairs of either tile or woodwork. However, by cutting through the area of the ceiling below the leak and using a new kind of fitting that doesn't require soldering, Luis was able to do all of the repairs up from the first floor. All we have to do is have the ceiling plaster repaired, which we would have had to do anyway because of the leak. He was also very conscientious of our home and tried to minimize the mess as much as possible, then cleaned up before he left.

Upstairs on a bedroom ceiling that was sagging because the plaster had detached from the lath, he removed the plaster where it was detached or loose, leaving two sections each about 2-feet-square that were bare to the lath. He then used metal lath and plaster to repair those sections. The work took two full days, and at the end of each day, he left my floors cleaner than they had been when he arrived.

Seeing what a good and thorough job they did in the two basement rooms, I immediately asked them to extend the contract to include a laundry room, with similar problems. They painted beyond areas I had requested them to paint, and matched paint colors so well I could hardly tell where the old paint left off and the new paint began. They worked very quickly. There was no way to confine the plaster dust - I expected it to be everywhere - but they worked hard to clean up as much as possible, and left the house neat and clean (as possible) every day. About a month after the job had been completed, I noticed a couple of places where chaulk had pulled away from trim, or paint had blistered - apparently side effects of the still-drying water damage. I called Francisco, who inspected the next day, and arranged for immediate repairs, neatly executed. I'm very happy with Francisco Rocha and Galaxy Painting. I have already requested another estimate to repaint my living room, and expect to sign on this contract as soons as floors can be repaired and refinished."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/silver-spring/galaxy-painting-and-decorating-reviews-213491.htm"},"position":10}]}

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.

We wanted real plaster done rather than a quicker repair with drywall, but if the same situation arises again, we will consider drywall.

FAQs for plaster repair projects in Patuxent River, MD
Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10per 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 $10per 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.
