"Spoke with Adam about the repairs (drywall replacement, patching, and two different paints to match the existing paints). I sent follow-up pictures of the areas to be repaired. Dave came out and provided an estimate for the repairs and painting. The estimate came back and was in line with what I had expected. We scheduled a date for repairs, Wednesday for the patching and Thursday for the painting. Dave returned to do the drywall work and did an excellent job installing the new drywall and patching other areas we had contracted for. John came over the next day to finish the walls and painted them. Again, excellent work. The paint matching really impressed me. The match was spot on and John feathered it in so well I could not tell where the old paint ended and the new paint started. I am very pleased with the work Adam and his team did."

"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."

"Seth was excellent at repairing a set of exterior french doors that had plagued us since we bought the house, installing weatherstripping and repairing a broken Andersen window sash. It's evident he takes pride in his work and I would absolutely work with him again!"

"This was one of the best experiences Iâ ve experienced with a contractor. He was extremely reasonable on price, gave a timeline AND came in faster than it, and was extremely communicative. Hire him right now! Iâ m already trying to think of other projects for him."

"Nathan was quick, thorough and responsive to my request for bid for variety of handyman services. Work was needed to recondition a 2BR 1 bath duplex unit making it ready for a new renter. Repairs included replacing closet doors, appliance setup, flooring repair, replacing blinds, new moulding, caulking, sheetrock repairs, and complete interior repaint. Also completely cleaned inside and did the outside lawn service. He stayed in communication to keep me informed of updates, and was always prompt to answer or return my calls. Also flexible when I needed a few additional items added. Very fair and straightforward with his pricing. No nickel and diming for more $. I will definitely use him again for work in the Independence area."

"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."

"We had extensive wood rot that needed to be replaced on our 85 year old house and then had all of our trim sealed and repainted. Randy was very easy to work with and was extremely detail oriented. Not only would I recommend him to others, but I plan to call him back the next time I need ANY work done on my house."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

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.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

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.

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.
