"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

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.
