"Everything went great.  Abel installed some screening sandwiched in plaster (or maybe joint compound) to create a new, clean, strong, crack free ceiling.  3 years later the ceilings still look like new!  If I could afford it, I'd do every other room in the house!

"We needed this repair asap due to rain deterioration. Clean Hands arranged to come on a Saturday morning. The team did a rebuild in less than 4 hours. Terrific job!! They also followed up to set a date for stain once the wood has cured. I have used Clean Hands several times over the past 5 years and will continue to do so."

"Shortly after moving into our new house, I began hearing a knocking on the side of the house every morning.  After a few weeks and a bit of freaking out, we finally saw the culprit - a woodpecker had made himself a lovely condo in the trim of our chimney.  The hole was closer to the second floor of the house, but too far from a window for me to reach. 

I called a contractor who had been referred by our realtor, and after getting a very vague and non-committal "estimate" from him, checked with a second company.  The second company's estimate was very open ended (paint, paint matching and "any additional supplies" were extra and not estimated) and referenced "wood rot" when I specifically told him that it was woodpecker damage.  My third try was with Care and Repair. 

David called me right away, and was very patient with my concern over the welfare of the bird - he actually researched the best way to re-home a woodpecker!  The estimate I received was for $106 and included all supplies - even paint that matched my house. He was very detailed and thorough in explaining what he was going to do, and even had plans B through G ready should plan A not go the way he wanted.

The final bill was $135, and the price difference was thoroughly explained - once David was able to get more than a "birds eye" view of the hole, it became apparent that there were actually three holes.  He completely cleaned out all of the bird's "furnishings"  (feathers, twigs, grass, etc) and cleaned out the bits of the wood that had begun to deteriorate, then filled the whole thing with wood epoxy.  The next day, he came back and sanded, primed and painted over the repair.  You can stare at that space all day and never see that it was once the beginnings of a woodpecker apartment complex!

Care and Repair's bill for this work was comparable to the other two vague and open-ended estimates I received from the other two companies.  They are courteous - you know they're actually listening to you. They're fast and neat (in and out, with no mess left behind) and they're dependable.  If they say they'll be there - they're there.  I would definitely use these guys again - in fact, I have!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

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.
