"Dennis had previously painted the exterior of our home, and we knew we wanted him back when these two small projects in our home arose.

Dennis and his crew redid the drywall and repainted the ceiling in our office after a bath tub seal cracked.  This involved cutting out the drywall around a ceiling fixture and replacing it.  After they had finished, the repair was perfectly blended into the texture of the ceiling.  Really nicely done.

The second part of the job involved refinishing the 90 year old wooden sills in our living room.  The never-painted sills are beautiful hardwood, but over time (and in one case, the former owner had allowed some weather damage to occur) they had lost their finish and looked bad.

This is the kind of craftsmanship project that Dennis just seems dedicated to doing really well.  The wood of the sills was so hard and so completely cured, it was a challenge to get the new stain and poly-coat to properly take; Dennis came over four times to apply extra coats/top coats.  The result is wood with a deeply burnished, beautifully silkily finished texture. 

The final result looked a lot better than I had expected--more like the care a homeowner would take on their own home if they really knew how to apply the products.  All the sills are beautiful now and match perfectly, this was NOT the case when Dennis started working on the job.

Dennis is so dedicated, he does have one area of weakness: when he makes his bids, he has a tendency to underestimate the work hours necessary.  This is largely owing to his willingness to "go the extra mile" rather than simply slap up paint and presume the homeowner won't notice that he's ignored some complicating factor.  By the time he had applied the third coat of sealer, I was satisfied--but Dennis didn't like how the product was taking on the extremely dense wood and scheduled an extra visit to do the extra coat without my asking for it.  And he was right--that last coat made all the difference in really making the sills look beautiful and "pop" (in a good way!).

I love working with Dennis--wish I could find repair people/craftsmen like him in all the service areas I need!"

"Daren returned my call promptly, his bid was competitive and they did a great job. Daren and his crew are all very professional and they cleaned up after themselves each day. When they finished at the end of the week there was no evidence they had been here other than my freshly painted trim. They did a high quality job and were a pleasure to work with."

"We had a dryer vent that had ruptured more than 1 seam due to a dryer repair.  The vent ran across the lower level ceiling along the floor joists.  Due to the solid ceiling in the lower level multiple holes needed to be cut to repair the vent.  JC Drywall was contacted to quote on the repair of the ceiling and to match the texture of the current ceiling.  Jim was prompt and courteous in the quote process.  The quote was itemized and detailed.  Due to some timing issues it was many months until we were able to fix the ceiling.  Jim recalled the quote and was able to get us an updated quote based on increase in potential supply needs.  We set up a timeframe for the repairs.  Jim arrived on the scheduled date, he put plastic down and hung up plastic barriers to the rest of the home, used drop clothes to keep the carpets and stairs clean.  The repairs took 1 day longer than anticipated as the drywall compound did not dry as anticipated.  The ceiling looks great and there is no visible signs of the holes that were cut.  Jim did a very good job.  Jim was also came in under the quoted price.  The only category that we couldn't give an outstanding rating to was punctuality.  Each day Jim was slightly behind the time quoted to arrive, however it wasn't a major issue to us, and we would recommend JC Drywall for other Drywall needs."

"This turned out to be quite a large project. Paul Kothrade kept us informed throughout the entire project of how the scope was developing, and was very clear with the choices we could make at each step. He was also very good at listening to our ideas and plans, and working collaboratively with us - we developed a high level of trust. Everything happened when he said it would, and the quality of workmanship was very high at a reasonable cost. We are very happy with the work he did."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.
