"I had received a bid through a personal referral and I sought 2 others through Angie's List. Jim's was a day or so late but was much less than the previous bid, so I hired him. He started immediately. He and the people that he retained did excellent work. They were very professional, courteous and conscientious. They made a significant effort to reduce the "mess" that naturally accompanies such work. The second bid came in a few days after Jim had started. It was slightly lower but I was very happy with Jim, his work and his relative punctuality. The slight difference in price was negligible compared to my satisfaction with Jim, his work and his desire to do things right."

"I've had Honeydoers do a lot of work for me over the last few years and I have always been impressed with the quality of work. On this particular job, I had a stereo speaker that had no worked for a few years. The speaker is a large floor speaker that is a very nice piece of furniture - something I didn't want to have to replace. I felt the price was fair for the work completed and am thrilled to now have it working again. I will definitely continue to use Honeydoers for my home improvement."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.

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.

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.

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.

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.
