"Daniel did a great job replacing the ceiling above our stairs. He ripped out the old plaster ceiling and replaced with a fresh sheet of dry wall, then painted. Job was done timely and communication was great."

"The Garcias did a beautiful job on the bedroom. I had removed wallpaper and in the process gouged the drywall in several areas and pulled off some drywall tape. They had to patch and retape the drywall as well as sand the walls before they could even prime and paint them. The end result was truly impressive and I was pleased with the competitive pricing for the project. I will definitely hire the Garcias for any future painting projects."

"I highly recommend Mario of Izzo’s Painting for anyone needing plaster repair. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain every step of the repair process, which immediately gave me confidence that the job was being done correctly. As he reached each stage of the repair, he actually invited me to watch what he was doing and explained why each step was important. It’s rare to find someone so transparent and willing to share their knowledge. His craftsmanship is exceptional. The repaired plaster blends perfectly with the surrounding wall-you would never know there had been any damage. Mario is professional, meticulous and clearly takes great pride in his work. He treated my home with respect, kept the work area clean, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for someone who is honest, highly skilled and truly passionate about quality workmanship, Mario Izzo/Izzos Painting is the person to call."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

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.

Some textures are easier than others to DIY, but the short answer is yes, you can absolutely texture walls yourself. You’ll need certain materials, like a trowel or paint sprayer, but the most important things you’ll need are patience and time. DIYing wall texture can save money and be a fun, messy project, but homeowners need to know that adding texture to a wall isn’t a quick project. 

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.
