"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

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.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

Regular inspections and cleaning to prevent moisture or pest issues.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.
