"First Eric made sure the problem was solved (I had vents installed in the roof), then they removed all the damp plaster and Eric came back numerous time to make sure the walls were dry enough to continue. His crew came back and did a great job and cleaned up all the mess. His office staff always answers the phone and relays questions and we are now ready to paint!"

"Matt was professional, arrived on time, and gave a fair price for all work performed. He performed the entire job (dry wall installation, trim repair, and painting) himself. He communicated well throughout the process and was happy to explain any work he did. He says he won't do anything that he wouldn't do in his own home, and cares about the customer's happiness over getting the job done quick."

"We have used CW for years for all types of repairs and projects around the house.  We usually save up the small projects and have him come out 1-2 times a year.  He has always returned phone calls quickly and is extremely prompt and professional.  After a general project review, he will get always get right to work.(He does not waste your time and money with small talk.) He has a wide range of expertise: we have used him for projects including  plumbing, item assembly/installation, and hanging siding.

Be prepared to schedule your appointments well in advance (perhaps up to a month), especially in the spring/summer.  CW does quality work and the word is out.  However, he will often let you know if he has any cancellations and he is definitely worth the wait considering his level of professionalism and expertise.

"After some initial confusion, the drywall was repaired and Quest then came and did the painting after the taping and mud dried. He did a fabulous job and the closet looks all new and fresh. Thank you Quest! I would recommend this painting company."

"Nick did a great job on our master bath painting. Bathrooms are tricky, with lots of cutting in and fixtures to work around. The result was flawless! He was professional, prompt, and left my bathroom very clean. I will be using them again!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
