"We had leaks coming from two chimneys and we found Apple Valley Stucco on Home Advisor. Sebastian and his crew did an outstanding job of not only replacing the existing stucco on both but repairing one that had been badly damaged. Their work met the highest professional standards. The chimneys were painted to match the house, and they completely cleaned up the porch and yard where some debris had accumulated. They did the work on time and within the estimated cost. I recommend them without reservation."

"Nathan Nate was fantastic! He did a beautiful and thorough job on the task I hired him for. I then asked if he could do a few handyman repairs for me, like getting a bi-fold closet door back on its track and getting my doorbell to work. He easily completed these tasks. He even found a few things that needed repair that I didnâ t see. All of this was a tremendous help to me as I prepared to sell my home. With his help, my home sold 4 hours after it was listed!"

"Heath is very personable and prompt in answering phone calls before the job. He made "Special" pricing discounts to meet the cost restrictions I had. Some material aspects of the job needed to be cut back from other estimates I had gotten and were agreed upon. The starting and ending dates had to be postponed due to weather. After starting the job, it still took longer than expected. Heath did not supervise the job as he had indicated he would. He was more interested in getting another business started. The crew was friendly but not a regular crew. They were friends whose business was bad and they were helping Heath out. Some details of the job were not discussed beforehand and caused concern during the job but I felt I had no recourse once felt was left off half the house and roofing applied before the hole in the roof was patched. The roof patch done from the inside was not of the material specified in the contract and seems messily done. Here again, I didn't feel I could get it redone once installed. Clean up was not done well. They did not place tarps to catch all the debris inside the house and garage when taking off the roof. Even with having the crew come back a second time for cleanup, I still have a lot cleanup to do myself. Pieces of asphalt and grit and roofing nails cover the attic insulation and everything in my garage, and are scattered in my lawn aroung the house. The men on the job started out by putting ice breaks over the fron door and said they would put them over all doors, but, left the job without them. Heath came by for payment saying he had written checks to the crew which he couldn't cover. So, I gave him a check and a list of the things which had not been completed. I had seen leftover sheets of roofing material for completing the ice breaks before they left. When they returned the next week to complete the unfinished tasks, tiny pieces of metal roofing were cut and screwed on top of the roof rather than being shaped of larger sheets and installed under the lip of the roof as the first ones had been. That was how I expected the job to be done. I was not able to get the roof quarantee and tax credit paperwork from Heath. Once he received his last check, he stopped answering my calls or messages. He gave me a five year quarantee on the workmanship but doesn't answer calls. I think sheets of leftover material and the excess special screws I paid for should have been left with me for possible future use or I should have at least been consulted before their removal."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Plaster repair costs range from $4 to $10 per square foot for refinishing, while skim coating can be less expensive, usually between $2 and $5 per square foot. The price you pay for plaster repairs will depend on the extent of the damage, the type of plaster you have on your walls, and the accessibility of the damage. Plaster repair on the exterior of your home tends to be more expensive, as there’s a higher chance that ladders or scaffolding will be necessary to carry out the repair.
