"I initially contacted H&M to repair drywall and paint. Henry convinced me to replace the popcorn ceiling and I am so glad he did. What a difference! I am very pleased with Henry and his team’s work. They were always pleasant and went out of their way to complete the job in a timely manner."

"Silas and his team are excellent. My mother is in her 80s and I have been looking for someone reliable and trustworthy. I don't live in the area and I needed someone that I could trust if I can't be there when the work is done. Silas is my guy. I have already discussed with him to remodel the bathroom. He will be my guy for all home repairs (large or small)."

"Elver and team were prompt and thorough. Another contractor told me I'd have to rip out drywall at considerable expense. Elver handled it as a repair job and the wall looks good as new."

"JW Quality Drywall is a premium contractor. They did an AWESOME job finishing 2 extra storage rooms with drywall, plastering, painting, trim and hardwood flooring. We were so pleased his team creatively framed shelving, and other existing structures. Walter saw this major renovation through to completion. We are extremely satisfied the job came out better than expected, there were no problems, and it was worth the cost. I would definitely recommend them."

"Tom Smith did a perfect job of repairing both a smooth ceiling and a textured ceiling, both of which had been damaged by water leaks. We think that he is unique in this area in being able to exactly match the appearance of textured ceilings. Others that we have approached can no longer do this kind of work. Tom was a pleasure to deal with and completed the job efficiently, neatly and very promptly. He answered our questions graciously and gave us two valuable recommendations that have been very helpful. We are glad we finally found a really great sheetrock expert."

Plaster Repair questions, 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.

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.

Generally, your homeowner’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.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.
