"John kept our house clean while he worked on our painting and drywall repair job for 3 days. The quoting process was easy and professionally laid out with all the details included. Excellent quality of work. John goes above and beyond to make the project go smoothly start to finish. Knowledgeable about mold as well. We will have him back for more painting and will recommend him to anyone."

"Victor responded very promptly to my request for service. Jason and Daniel did a great job with the repair. We have a two story ceiling that needed repair so it was a big job. They needed to bring in scaffolding. All repairs were done professionally and look great. We were very happy with the entire process."

"Nathan is top quality! Fair pricing. Doesn't break the bank. I've hired him for two jobs now. The kitchen ceiling drywall and the garage ceiling, walls, and corners repair. Jobs were both top notch! Cleans up very well after himself and preps the areas before beginning the jobs. Shows up when scheduled!! I definitely and highly recommend Nathan. Very nice and personable, which is a bonus! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ Michelle and Mike"

"Chuck W. repaired a portion of our kitchen ceiling and wall that had to be cut out to repair a second story tub leak. It took the better part of a day due to repair steps needed to fix our plaster walls with drywall and mud. Repair looks wonderful, back to normal again!! Thank you R and D!!"

"They did a beautiful job, our walls look brand new. You would never guess they were full of holes or that one wall was gone. Evan was a wonderful worker. He prepared the plaster, he made sure to cover everything before any work was started, cleaned up as they worked, and when everything was completed made sure everything was put back and cleaned up. They were very professional, kind, and the best!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

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.

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.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

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.
