"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

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.

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.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

Many services include repainting to match the existing surface. Confirm with your provider.

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.
