" We had an outstanding experience working with **Tona Home Improvements**. From start to finish, Kladji and his father demonstrated true professionalism, craftsmanship, and integrity. They completed the full renovation of our basement—including framing, electrical, plumbing, and finishing touches—all with the proper permits and inspections in place. What really set them apart was their clear communication, attention to detail, and respect for our home and timeline. They listened to what we wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure every part of the project met high standards. The end result is a beautiful, functional basement that exceeded our expectations. We’re so grateful for the care and expertise that Kladji and his father brought to the job. Highly recommend **Tona Home Improvements** for any home renovation project—especially if you're looking for quality work done right the first time."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Although their applications are very similar, no drywall compound and spackle are not the same thing. Spackle is a bit thicker and is used to patch holes as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. Joint compound shrinks a bit more and can be more temperamental to spread. However, one benefit is that you can use joint compound as spackle (for small jobs), but you can’t use spackle as joint compound.  

Yes, to some extent, you can speed up the time it takes plaster to dry and cure. Choose a time of year when humidity levels are somewhere in the middle, neither too high nor too low, to allow moisture to evaporate from the plaster effectively. Also, open a window or set up a fan in the room to improve ventilation.

Don't use a dehumidifier in an attempt to speed up drying time, as a dehumidifier may suck moisture from the air too quickly, leading to crumbly plaster.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

Inspect regularly for cracks, clean gently with a damp cloth, and repaint as needed to maintain appearance.
