"I had hired Richard's company to install a new fan in our bathroom. They installed the fan but chipped the plaster around the edge of the fan and then left the plaster on the floor covering it with the bathmats. I didn't intend to use NE Renovations again, but decided that all of the glowing recommendations from Angie's List must not be wrong. I contacted Richard to install a new kitchen faucet the I had purchased. I told him about the plaster issue. He came and installed my faucet when he said he would. Several weeks later I emailed him to ask when he was going to send the invoice and he told me that he was not going to charge me because of the previous issue. This kind of customer service is hard to find these days."

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.
Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
Regular inspections and cleaning to prevent moisture or pest issues.
Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Depending on how much adhesive was used as well as the strength of the adhesive, you may have some drywall damage when removing a mirror. You can typically repair most drywall damage if it’s small by sanding the damaged area, applying spackle to smooth the damaged section so it’s flush with the rest of the wall, and repainting the area.
