"I highly recommend Patrick at Tri-Color Plastering! Patrick did a fabulous job repairing and plastering several of my walls, which were in definite need of repair. He took the time to do all of the proper steps to ensure the repairs were done correctly, and the finished walls look wonderful. He was prompt, reliable, neat, and very clean throughout the entire job. On top of his excellent workmanship, Patrick was extremely pleasant to have in my home and had a wonderful sense of humor, which made the whole experience enjoyable. It’s clear that he takes pride in his work and cares about doing the job right. His fee was very fair and reasonable for the amount of work. I would highly recommend Patrick and Tri-Color Plastering to anyone who needs plaster repair work. Sharon L."

"Excellent! The boss and the crew arrived on time. (Always a good indicator in my book.) They set up their equipment, taking care to protect my furniture. They did a good job with the plastering. When they were finished, they cleaned up the plaster dust, etc. They didn't waste time; they worked and were cordial to me. I couldn't ask for more. I would definitely hire JNA again."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
