Q: Can I repair plaster myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to repair plaster yourself, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Plaster repair is easy in theory but difficult in practice. Applying repair plaster is straightforward, but ensuring the area is prepped properly to receive the new plaster and ensuring that the finished product looks smooth and professional both demand experience. Plus, repairs are especially difficult if you have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-popcorn-ceiling-removal-cost.htm">textured ceiling</a> or walls. Paying for professional plaster repair is worth the investment if you want your wall to look good as new.</p></div>

Q: What size hole can you patch with spackle?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What causes plaster damage?

• <div><p>Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.</p></div>

Q: Does mounting a TV damage the wall?

• <div><p>You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you&rsquo;re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-drywall-repair-cost-small-holes.htm">drywall repair cost</a> for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It&rsquo;s a repair you can do in a few minutes.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How do I know if I have plaster walls?

• <div><p>If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-tell-drywall-vs-plaster.htm">practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls</a>, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can&rsquo;t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.</p><p>If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.</p></div>
