"We contacted Devoe Drywall to do drywall overlay in the upstairs of our 200 year old farmhouse. They did an amazing job squaring off all the walls and ceilings around the existing horsehair plaster. They were honest and communicative with the quote and what they were able to do and completed the project in a timely manner. They even let us use some of their staging/ ladder to paint the stairway when the project was finished. Everything painted up well with no issues. Definitely recommended them for all drywalling needs."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

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.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.
