I could not have been more pleased with a business.  What was done?  Well, here's the list:

  1. 1.  Repaired all marred walls and fixed cracks and holes.
  2. 2.  Covered everything to keep paint and primer off our belongings.
  3. 3.  Sanded all rough areas to a smooth finish.
  4. 4.  Professionally primed everything.
  5. 5.  Professionally painted everything.
  6. 6.  Cleaned up daily.
  7. 7.  Removed all painting materials from our property when finished.

I cannot say enough about the excellent quality of the job which was done.  Changing the woodwork, doors, and stairway spindles from a dark brown to antique white was quite a job.  It took a few days, but it was worth the awesome results. 

The guys (painting crew & owner) were very accommodating to my husband and me.  If we saw something to fix, it was done.  They were always pleasant.  I would hire them again in a heartbeat if I ever need something else painted.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

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.

While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you’re not sure what’s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you’re up for the task, here’s how to repair ceiling cracks for $150 or less.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.
