"We are so happy we hired Charles and his team to work on our home repair project! Charles was prompt from the very start in returning our calls, inspecting our project and providing us with a very fair and reasonable quote. He thoroughly explained the work in detail to us from start to finish and followed through on his promises. He quickly set a start date for the work. He and his team finished the job on time as planned. On the very last day, they wouldn't leave until they were absolutely sure everything was perfect and we were totally satisfied with the job We are very pleased with their outstanding attention to detail. We are so happy with their work, customer service and professionalism that we already have additional projects in mind for them. We will definitely be using them in the future."

"I hired this contracting business for interior work on a rental property, including drywall repairs, painting, and general touch-ups. They did a great job everything was completed quickly, and the quality of work was solid with clean, professional results. Their customer service stood out as well. They were responsive, easy to work with, and kept me informed throughout the process. The turnaround time was excellent, which really helped minimize vacancy. I?d definitely use them again and recommend them to others."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

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.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly.
