"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."

"We had multiple jobs around our home, listed below. Andres is honest, fair, prompt, communicative and just a lovely person to work with. He makes sure all of the details are wrapped up and takes well-earned pride in his work. We have already hired him for another large job and have quite a long list of future jobs as well. Just an absolute delight to work with him. As to the work he did, while we called Andres about painting our kitchen cabinets, he ended up doing several of the projects on our list. In addition to painting cabinets, he installed a vent hood, removed old and installed new backsplash tile, removed a large framed TV cabinet/mantel and replaced it with a beautiful stone fireplace surround + mantel, repaired and repainted our large front porch, replaced an exterior door that had rotted AND pressure washed the entire house exterior. EXCELLENT experience."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Regular inspections and cleaning to prevent moisture or pest issues.

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.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

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.

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.
