"I recently hired H&M Contractor team to finish 1,500 sq.ft. basement - installing drywall, plastering/finishing, and painting. I am extremely pleased and satisfied with professionalism, quality, and communication. Crew was very hardworking and polite, they did outstanding work quickly and efficiently. Henry (supervisor) was very professional, prompt, on time, and reasonable on prices. He would stop by every day to inspect the progress, and would immediately take care of any issue. I also really liked his responsiveness - whenever I had a question, or needed his advice, he would immediately respond via text or would stop by and would answer all of my questions. I would not hesitate to recommend H&M Contractor LLC. Thank you, Henry!"

"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)."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

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.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.
