"Guy and his team did an excellent job from start to finish. They installed and/or repaired drywall in six rooms, including ceiling. They were very punctual and hard working. They did a good cleanup job afterwards. I have no complaints with their work and would hire them again in a heartbeat--highly recommend!"

"I contacted Tom Smith via the "Conversation with Provider" in My Messages on my Angie's List account on 02/02/2016. I included two photos (close-up and long shot) of the area that needed repair and asked for a estimated cost of repair. Tom responded later that same day with his estimate. On 02/11/2016, Tom arrived 10 minutes early for our morning appointment. He inspected the area that needed repair and told me how he would solve the problem. He added that he only does the drywall repair NOT the painting. Actually, I preferred to do the painting myself, so I agreed. He had all of the tools and materials he needed with him (even the fan used to speed drying of material), so he proceeded to construct the wooden foundation for the drywall repair. The whole job seemed to take about 3 hrs. He worked quickly. We talked occasionally, but most of the time seemed to be with constructing the wooden foundation and the drying time for the material. When he was finished, the surface was smooth, attractive, and blended well with the surrounding structure. The finish reminded me of the "smooth" coat that was applied over the "rough" of plaster-lath wall construction. He cleaned up the work area and the area on my driveway where he parked and did some cutting, etc. from his vehicle. When I painted the repaired area, the paint went on smoothly and I did not have to use primer. It blended beautifully with the surrounding structure. It looks great."

"My renovation involved the removal of a wall and every wall surface had to be refinished including the ceiling.  Plaster Solutions' craftsmanship exceeded my highest expectations.  Abel's attention to detail in older historical homes is excellent!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Repairing plaster walls or ceilings is almost always worthwhile. It restores the appearance of your home, and if it's an exterior wall, the repair can improve curb appeal and provide a great return on investment when selling. Plaster repairs can also reinforce the wall, preventing minor cracks from spreading, and improve your home’s energy efficiency by fixing gaps in the insulative material, potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, hiring a professional allows them to check if the damage is from a serious underlying issue, such as foundation instability. Catching a problem like this early could save you thousands.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

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 practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’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.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.
