"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

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.

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.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

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.
