"Petey is very prompt, he called me within an hour of requesting plaster services. Petey came out looked over my project gave a fair bid. He and his crew did great work were done quickly and cleaned everything up. I had two small areas that cracked slightly due to rapid drying. I called Petey and he came out on a Sunday morning to fix them free of charge. It has been a great experience working with S&S Plastering and I would recommend them to anyone who needs plaster work."

"We had quite an unexpected situation when my husband accidentally fell through the ceiling, leaving a pretty big hole in our drywall. Watowa Restoration came to the rescue! Blake responded quickly, assessed the damage, and got everything repaired so smoothly you’d never even know there had been a hole there. The quality of his work was excellent — clean lines, perfect texture match, and he left the area spotless. He was professional, friendly, and made a stressful situation so much easier to deal with. I highly recommend him for any drywall repair or home repair needs!"

"Josh did some custom carpentry work for us, as well as some very technically challenging steel tapping for a circular jig attached to a motor. He did a fantastic job. The steel tapping was something I had basically given up on ever fixing, but he was able to do it!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

Pros ensure smooth finishes and lasting repairs, avoiding visible patches.

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.
