"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

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

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. 

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.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.
