"Any job involving pipe repairs is going to involve coordination with neighbors and management agents. It all went as smoothly as one could hope, not just because the contractor had a clear sense of what needed to happen but because he has a pleasant personality and was able to adjust his schedule on short notice."

"They contacted me the same day I put in the request and were there late in the day to inspect. I paid them for the inspection and told them to come back to do the repair. They came back the next day and made the repair in under 2 hours."

"I have an old house with plaster walls that were badly cracked. Hank painted two rooms and a large hallway which goes up the stairs to the second floor. He completed the job on time for a very reasonable price. Hank repaired the walls and ceilings and the walls and trim are now fresh and beautiful. Gave an uplift to the entire house. I would highly recommend Hank for your painting project."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you’re not sure what’s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you’re up for the task, here’s how to repair ceiling cracks for $150 or less.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

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.
