"We couldn’t be happier with our two new bathrooms! The entire renovation, from start to finish, was a top-notch experience. We’ve never had the pleasure of working with a contractor as knowledgeable, reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of our home as Fabian. He is highly skilled and has a great vision. The bathrooms look amazing—highly recommend!"

"Sonny is extremely reliable. He shows up as planned and gets right to work. His attention to deatail is outstanding. He will not quit on a task until he is satisfied that it has been done to his high standard of quality work. We could not be happier with the vinyl flooring installation he just completed for us. This is not the first time we have hired Sonny. He had previously insalled soffitt vents for the attic; front and back of our house. We have been so impressed with his work that we are now discussing plans for our next project: a major bathroom renovation. I would highly recommend Reale Construction to anyone looking for high quality work at a fair price."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

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.

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.
