"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!"

"A couple of bricks had fallen off of the top of our chimney and there were some cracks along the porch. Stan's crew arrived only a few days after we agreed to the repairs and completed the work in a timely manner. The quality is great and the price was reasonable. Stan was easy to work with and very responsive."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

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.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.
