"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)."

Customers say: Quick response

"The contractor arrived each day as scheduled. He was very professional and courteous. I had a few minor cracks that required spackling and he volunteered to touch-up and paint them. He even went as far as to provide me with a small paint roller for my needs. Looking back, I feel the cost to repair the small whole in my wall was a bit pricey, especially since I provided the paint and could have purchased the drywall. Under normal circumstances, I request two or more quotes; however, I was desperate and needed the wall repaired within a day due to the arrival of guest. Thus, I hired the first contractor to respond to my call. Overall, I think very highly of this company and will use their services again."

"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

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.
