"When confronted with a crisis because of a copper plumbing burglary, Mr. Grady, of Grady's Painting, Plastering and Construction, willingly traveled many miles to come to my aid. Requesting only a $1.00 deposit against a $4,500.00 job, he masterfully reconstructed my nineteenth century lath and plaster hallway wall, also thoroughly compensating for a missing portion of a central stud unwittingly removed by a plumber! After his extensive search for appropriate composition and dimension of material, he replaced and replicated a section of my forty-year-old faux onyx tub surround with common white PVC sheet, tinted oil-based colors, glaze, paint brush, and a rag. His applied natural talents and superlative skills saved me thousands of dollars! On the basis of both professional conversation and knowledgeable observation, Mr. Grady possesses the intrinsic knowledge of old-world trades, the artistic capabilities, the problem=solving thought processes, and the personal work ethic to accomplish a broud scope of reconstruction and restoration."

"Mulcahy did an excellent job in all aspects of this job. I have a 60 year old house that definitely had some plaster and drywall issues over the years. He made the repairs and blended everything in perfectly. You can tell quality of the job is one of his highest priorities."

"Great! Tom is very responsive and was also willing to postpone the job a couple of times to better fit our schedule. He did quality and fast work - the room looks great! They did get paint on our sectional sofa when moving it back into place, but it came off easily (leather). We would definitely hire them again!"

"Bill Key is a outgoing friendly business owner. He returns phone calls and just calls to see how things are going. His work crew is first class. Wonderful people. I felt so comfortable with the crew that I left the house open and went and did some errands. The men doing the staining went beyond painting and nailed in loose boards. Interior ceiling repair came out fantastic - you can't tell where the damaged areas were. The only thing I am disappointed in, is, just as we are about to move to Florida, I find this wonderful, professional company. I would hire them for all my painting and drywall work."

"Responded to my request for estimate very quickly.Gave me an honest price. Daryl was very clear about what needed to be repaired. Started the job the next and was very punctual. When running a little late he CALLED me before his expected arrival time to let me know he was running a little late. This was good. The quality of the repair was perfect. Would and will recommend Daryl to my family and friends."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Professionals diagnose underlying causes, such as structural shifts or moisture problems, and apply appropriate solutions like reinforcement, patching, or sealing. These measures restore wall integrity and prevent recurrence, ensuring long-term stability.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

Plaster repair costs range from $4 to $10 per square foot for refinishing, while skim coating can be less expensive, usually between $2 and $5 per square foot. The price you pay for plaster repairs will depend on the extent of the damage, the type of plaster you have on your walls, and the accessibility of the damage. Plaster repair on the exterior of your home tends to be more expensive, as there’s a higher chance that ladders or scaffolding will be necessary to carry out the repair.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

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.
