"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."

"They did a superb job. We live in an older home with plaster walls that had a lot of imperfections. They've made the walls look like new. They were also very professional and courteous. I'll definitely use them again."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you’re not sure what’s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you’re up for the task, here’s how to repair ceiling cracks for $150 or less.

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.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.
