"Jeramy, an employee of PatchMasters did a great job of repairing the issues the previous drywall company left behind. He was prompt, professional, technically proficient, and completed repairing the drywall for my basement room one day ahead of schedule. I would hire them again."

"Moses came to my house to give me a quote for a leaking shower, and he ended up quoting me for two other projects I needed taken care of - flashing that needed to be replaced and patching a large hole in the ceiling. He and his helper arrived right on time the following morning and had all 3 projects completed by lunchtime. He communicated with me on everything he was doing, was very nice- and very quiet. I hardly knew he and his helper were here. I'm very pleased with his work, and the fee was less than I expected. I will definitely hire him again."

"It took me several months to get Phil scheduled and rescheduled, including a lot of chasing by me. When he came to do the job he was supposed to be accompanied by a second person, but was not. This limited the work he could do because 2 people were needed. Therefore, the job stretched out over a few days. During the work, my garage floor was covered in spots of plaster and paint. Inside the house there was drywall splatter and drops from the main bathroom across my entire kitchen and living room, up the stairs, down the hallway into the other room that needed work. No tarps were used throughout the house except on the stairs and in the rooms (but there was still significant clean up there because the tarps did not cover it all). The clean up was twice a day for a couple days and by me. He said he could clean up, but "would I rather pay him to do the work or clean up." The job was paid by time. In addition, there are lots of blue tape particles stuck in the ceiling paint along the wall line that leaves a blue tint to the walls in both rooms. There was also two gashes left in the bathroom wall (made by a box knife) that he did not tell me about. When I pointed it out, he said he must have done it when he fell off the ladder. He did put some putty in it right before he left. I am happy with the end product, both ceilings look good, but overall I felt he was not professional including the difficulties in getting him scheduled (3 months) adding in the clean up I had to do; the ranking is fair. I have used other contractors who took a lot of care in respecting my property and my time who did not cost a much as he did."

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

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).

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Repairing plaster walls or ceilings is almost always worthwhile. It restores the appearance of your home, and if it's an exterior wall, the repair can improve curb appeal and provide a great return on investment when selling. Plaster repairs can also reinforce the wall, preventing minor cracks from spreading, and improve your home’s energy efficiency by fixing gaps in the insulative material, potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, hiring a professional allows them to check if the damage is from a serious underlying issue, such as foundation instability. Catching a problem like this early could save you thousands.
