"I received a call from Javier just moments after I inquired about stucco installation on Angie's List. This was my first-time having stucco installed so of course I had many questions. Javier took the time and answered all my questions. I ended the call feeling really excited about the upcoming installation. I was able to choose the color and finish of the stucco. We ended up going with the color "paprika" and chose a fine finish for the stucco. Javier and his awesome team started the project on 11/9/23 and completed the project on 11/10/23. I was amazed at how quickly the team was able to complete the project! The work that they did on my house is BEAUTIFUL! I will definitely recommend AMB Plastering, Inc. to everyone I know. This process was quick, affordable, and the ending results were gorgeous! They really need a 10 out of 10!!!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.

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.

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.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.
