"Mike Sauer and his crew did a great job. They not only repaired plaster but also removed fixtures (like tv brackets) and repaired the plaster after removal. Mike went the extra mile by painting after plastering, getting someone in to repair some grout and also remembered to install a door stop. He and his crew were organized and easy to work with and finished in a very timely manner. They also were very careful with our wooden floors that had just been refinished. I wish everyone I hired to do work in our home was this responsible. I highly recommend Mike and his crew."

"A crew of eight people repaired the parapets and other issues with the house, which is approximately 10 years old. The weather was quite uncertain, but Blue Sky Drywall, Lath & Plaster worked with us to make sure that condition were right to apply the final coat. They performed a water test on each of the windows to ensure there was no leakage. The color coat was applied over a two-day period and the results were very good. The owner came and reviewed the work with me and will repair two very small issues. The new stucco is thicker than the previous material providing better protection.
The Blue Sky crew were fabulous. They were very professional and courteous. They did an excellent job of protecting the landscaping around the house.

Bob Reule, Jay Adams (Foreman) and crew were extremely professional and the work was completed on schedule.  This work included cleaning and conditioning of a conventional stucco surface, which had been painted, and the application of a STO Powerwall stucco product.  This work also included repair of a water damaged exterior wall and windows sills which were not discovered until surface preparations began.  The overall quality of work and attention to detail was excellent.  The crew was punctual, courteous and did an excellent job cleaning the worksite on a daily basis.  The Foreman made frequent site visits and was always available if questions arose.  As an engineer, I appreciated the technical knowledge and experience that Bob and his Foreman brought to this project and their willingness to discuss the science behind the STO product line and construction materials.  Bob also spend considerable time with us discussing ideas to help us complete other aspects of this exterior remodeling project.  If you want quality, Reule Sun Corp. should be on the top of your list.

"Western Wall responded quickly to our request for a quote on our deteriorating ceiling. We discussed corrective action and received a very good price. Cesar and his crew from Western Wall covered our floor, set up their scaffolding, removed all loose plaster, replastered all broken edges and then covered the entire ceiling with an Italian marble plaster. Done in 3 days. Beautiful look! Very happy with the results. Very prompt and professional. Yes, would hire them again."

"Bill did an excellent job of filling, sanding, and painting the columns, vigas, and latillas. For the wood under the portal where we wanted to maintain stain, he did a beautiful job of matching the wood and making the filled areas look natural. He also painted our ductwork and other metal components to color match the stucco, repairing the stucco in a few places along the way. Bill is extremely reliable, meticulous in his cleanup, and fairly priced. Our next door neighbors saw Bill's work and hired him for their project."

"It went great! They were very quick to respond and get me on the schedule. Before the repair, they showed care and concern for my home by going above and beyond in preventative work. At no cost, he put a tarp over my roof to prevent leaking when a storm was coming. He also was very communicative with my insurance company to ensure the job was done in full and correctly. I would highly recommend him."

"I made the appointment to redeem my Big Deal with no problem.  Even so, no one showed up at the appointed time.  A half hour after the service provider was to arrive, I called the owner, Michael Ortiz, who apologized and got off the phone to call his crew.  He called me back in a few minutes, and said that he would personally come over and do the job himself.  He arrived promptly 20 minutes later and swiftly and expertly completed my drywall repair job.  He was very professional and courteous.  I will use hime again.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.

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.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.
