"Referral painting did a great job on my bedroom and hallway painting. They came when promised for the estimate and actual job. They worked efficiently while still doing a fantastic job. We had quite a bit of plaster work that needed to be repaired which they were able to fix as well. I would definitely hire them again, their prices were great, work was wonderful, and they didn't mind my two pups getting saying hi throughout the day."

"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."

"We hired Dino after he was recommend by family friends. He did multiple projects on our home which included the following - wainscoting 20+ ft high walls and painting which he did excellently with an incredible attention to detail. This has made our home markedly more beautiful - wall tear down and door removal for expansion of our kitchen pantry, also added shelving and and extended electrical wiring. Again 10/10 work, attention to detail is unmatched, quality of supplies and build is clearly evident. Had been a big upgrade to our kitchen - applied epoxy to garage floor and sealant to basement. Was very thorough and thoughtful with the process. Our garage again looks stunning and the installation is perfect. - he has also installed lighting fixtures and helped with some appliance set up. He did most of the work while we were out of state and allowed us to move into our new home with all the projects completed. This required a lot of communication over the phone and on FaceTime. Overall pricing is fair. Dino is honest and forthcoming with the work and how long it will take. Very punctual and competes project exactly when he says he will. Responds to texts and phone calls immediately and sends pictures and updates. We entrusted a lot of our home to Dino and couldnâ t be happier in doing so. Would recommend to anyone looking for a contractor."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.

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.

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.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.

It depends on the construction of your wall. Most handypeople can fix small holes in drywall. If your wall is plaster or brick, more significant damage may require a drywall contractor or a mason. Hiring a handyperson costs less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.
