How long does plastering last?

• <div><p>Plastering lasts for around <b>15 to 20 years</b> 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 <b>$1 and $3 per square foot</b>, 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 <b>$0.90 and $1.30 per square foot</b>, which may serve you better in the long run.</p></div>

How long does plaster take to dry?

• <div><p>Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-plaster-take-to-dry.htm">types of plaster take several hours longer to dry</a>. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it. </p></div>

Q: Will my insurance cover ceiling collapse repairs?

• <div><p>Generally, your homeowner&rsquo;s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.</p></div>

Q: Why are my walls cracking so much?

• <div><p>Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-inspect-your-foundation.htm">foundation inspected</a>, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue. </p></div>

Q: Who fixes ceiling cracks?

• <div><p>Wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-call-for-ceiling-repair.htm">who to call for ceiling repair</a>? While you can hire a handyperson to fix minor cracks, you&rsquo;ll want to hire a drywall professional for larger issues. Depending on the cause of the crack, you may need to hire other contractors, such as a foundation contractor, mold remediation company, roofer, or <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbing/">plumber near you</a>. </p></div>

"I selected Personal Touch Home Solutions (Jim Burton) from among numerous others who also bid on the job. Jim's rates were reasonable, and his priority was making sure I was happy with the final product. The project was finishing a basement, but this also involved an extensive demo as the house was old and previous attempts to modernize were not well planned or performed. As is typical with a remodel, unexpected challenges presented themselves. Jim enthusiastically developed solutions to each issue. He went the extra mile with custom carpentry to accommodate this basement's unique geometry. Although he was hired to finish the basement, he also made time to address issues and improvements in the remainder of the house. He kept a clean worksite and coordinated subcontractors throughout the project. Highly recommend!"
