"I needed kitchen ceiling and bathroom ceiling repairs done on an older home with plaster walls and ceilings. The job was done well, and it was finished ahead of schedule. It was estimated to take 3 days and was done in just 2. They isolated the kitchen and the bathroom from the rest of the house to keep the dust and debris contained. At the end, they thoroughly cleaned up. I appreciated that. I would hire them again to do more work on the house."

"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!"

"John at JJ Construction and his crew did a beautiful job and John's quote was the best out of 3. What else can you ask for?? John and his crew went out of their way to install new appliances for me even though this was not part of the original work to be performed. They replaced my entire flooring with new flooring and they painted the entire place. The job was done beautifully and the property was left clean. John paid attention to every detail. I have 3 properties and I have dealt with a few contractors in the past but believe me when I say that John and his crew are the best I have dealt with. They are wonderful workers and good men all around. I would recommend them all heartedly to anyone... and I already have."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

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.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.

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.
