"I had a great experience with PatchMaster. Joe and Harry were both professional, courteous, and very skilled at what they do. They showed up on time, explained the work clearly, and made sure everything was done properly. The repair work came out excellent and looks seamless. They also took the time to clean up the area when they finished, which I really appreciated. It’s clear they care about the quality of their work and customer satisfaction. I would definitely recommend PatchMaster, and especially Joe and Harry, to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality"

"What an absolutely pleasant experience it was to have Matt working in our home. He arrived as scheduled, worked diligently on five different areas.; three of which needed repair before being painted. He extended his work day so that all work could be completed as planned. He is, as another reviewer said, 'a really cool guy'. He was efficient, his rates were more than reasonable, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. Thanks, Matt for superior work!!!"

"It was a pleasure working with INEX Home Builders for my cedar siding repair project on my chimney chase. I contacted Ron to come out and look at a repair needed for the trim and cedar siding on one corner of my chimney chase. He had clear communication of when he could come and take a look. Upon looking at the damage, he assessed that he could repair it and walked through the details of what would be done. He gave a fair estimate and when he would be able to come work on it. Ron followed up and arrived to do the job as agreed to. His work shows attention to detail and professionalism."

"Darren and Walter were polite, on time and quietly got the job done. They removed 9 doors and painted and hung the new doors . They also repaired numerous pieces of furniture. All this in 1 1/2 days. I will have them back in the spring to do several outdoor jobs. Nothing like one-stop shopping."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Wondering who to call for ceiling repair? While you can hire a handyperson to fix minor cracks, you’ll want to hire a drywall professional for larger issues. Depending on the cause of the crack, you may need to hire other contractors, such as a foundation contractor, mold remediation company, roofer, or plumber near you.

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.
