"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

There are several warning signs that a ceiling crack is connected to a larger issue. For starters, if the crack is wider than 1/8 inch or longer than 12 inches, you might have a more serious problem. The same applies if you have multiple smaller cracks or cracks going across the ceiling and down the wall. In any of these situations, you should ask a professional to assess the damage.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.
