"I’ve hired tons of contractors, subcontractors, handymen, and professionals in their own field of expertise over the past 3 years as our house has been remodeled. BY FAR, patch master has not only been the best, most knowledgeable pro I’ve hired through Angi, but this is also HANDS DOWN my best experience hiring anyone who has done work on my house! Josh was punctual (which rarely happens!) reliable, knowledgeable, skilled at his craft, friendly, honest and actually takes pride in his work and makes sure it’s finished and worth a 5 star review! He knew his specialty as well as his limitations, and rather than just accepting a part of the job he’s not 100% confident in, he called in his best texture guy. I’m telling you, this DOESN’T typically happen- so often the subcontractors I’ve hired care most about getting a job done as quickly as possible and oftentimes the rush shows in the completed project…not at all how my experience with Josh went. If you need to find someone to hire to complete a drywall job at a good price, do yourself a favor and book the best of the best and hire Patch Masters!"

"Miguel is a miracle worker! He came in and fixed a badly done drywall job that I had hired someone to do. He came when he promised and finished in an extremely timely manner and my basement looks great! I am so very grateful for his help as well as his advice on what to do and not to do when hiring someone to do work. I will always have my drywall work done by Miguel and his guys! Kathy R.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Wondering who to call for ceiling repair? While you can hire a handyperson to fix minor cracks, you’ll want to hire a drywall professional for larger issues. Depending on the cause of the crack, you may need to hire other contractors, such as a foundation contractor, mold remediation company, roofer, or plumber near you.

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.

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.
