340 Alex and his crew were easy to work with, and clear and upfront with their quote and the details behind it. They were fast, high quality, and left no trace of their work! We hired them to do a pre-move-in fresh coat, covering a few walls with bold colors and filling in some patches from...
Innovative IncThe floor was fantastic. The plaster work was behind schedule, so we had to rush the work to some degree because we were losing our current housing and needed to move in. The plaster work on the soffit was passable. The ceiling throughout the house is noticeably uneven. The ceiling was...

Perfect TouchJoe 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 ServicesWilliam did great work. He was very clean and very careful about the work he did. I'm very happy with the workmanship. Although the project did leave some plaster repairs for me to do, a lot of care went into minimizing the finishing work required. Don, too, was great when it came to the...
RIDGEWAY & ERNEST ELECTRICWe just had a big construction project in our house which involved a lot of plaster and drywall dust beging generated. This got sucked into the HVAC system. We also had not had our duct system cleaned in 15 years. Lowe's did a great job getting the dust and debris out of our system. Only...
Lowe's Air Duct CleaningWe wanted real plaster done rather than a quicker repair with drywall, but if the same situation arises again, we will consider drywall.
They showed up on time and were very organized. They patched the holes they had to cut in my drywall very nicely, leaving my drywall contractor with only a few small areas to plaster. They did a great job cleaning up. Best of all, I could immediately tell a difference in how the floor...
Quality InsulationThe 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...

Smithwright Home Improvement is a general contracting company providing a broad range of home improvement and home repair services in the Suburban Maryland area. I am a company of one and use subcontractors only when absolutely necessary. 99% of the work I take on is performed by me. Smithwright Home Improvement is licensed with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission since 2004 under license# 89597. I've done mostly flat-fee work under contract with the home owner. Small projects, or handyman related work, bills out at $80/hour with a 3 hour minimum. Angie's List customers receive a 10% discount off labor charges that invoice over $500.00. Discounts do not apply to materials cost which are in addition to labor charges. I do not add any additional costs to materials. You pay what I pay. My business, up to now, has grown strictly through referrals from satisfied customers. In the 20 years since I started this business, I have served hundreds of home owners in this area doing everything from simple drywall work to building large room additions and decks. I pride myself in delivering results that far exceed my customer's expectations. (Please note, the nature of my work can make it quite difficult to take phone calls during the day. The last thing I want is to offend anyone by not picking up or not returning phone calls. Please contact me via text at 410-707-5542 or email at [email protected] as well and I will try to respond to you within 24 to 36 hours. Thank you!).
"This was the very best contractor experience that I can ever remember. Mr. Smith (Bill) was on time for both estimate and work and took better than exceptional effort to leave the area even better than he found it. He was reasonable in pricing, installed per ADA standards, matched existing hardware and explained, from great experience, why we needed to modify the placement of the bars. BTW He was right! I would strongly recommend him for your future needs. You will not regret your selection. RDL"

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.
