"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!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

The allure of Venetian plaster lies in its unique appearance and individual characteristics in a home. It’s sophisticated and multidimensional and has a rich history dating back to Ancient Rome. This type of plaster finish is durable and represents a style of luxury that has been practiced for thousands of years. Many designers pair the texture of Venetian plaster with modern furnishings, resulting in an elegant and refined aesthetic.

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.

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.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

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.
