"I found them to be old school as for their approach to the job and the resulting quality of the work. Ken and his two cohorts, Dustin and Bobby were responsive to my requests as for how I wished for the repairs and remodeling to be done. They were also reasonably priced, and billed as the job progressed, at start, midway, and completion of the tasks. They were also reliable and punctual everyday. I would recommend."

"They showed up timely. Communicated ahead of time for scheduling and called ahead to let me know timing updates on the day of service. They were very good about covering surfaces while working on our second story ceiling damage over an open stairwell. Very limited cleanup required after they left. Their work was very efficient for what I was expecting. Their patching on a textured ceiling was great, I visually don't see a difference in the patched area. The team that did the work were respectful and communicative during their work. In today's age of lackluster services from other companies, I would gladly do business with them again. Very happy with the experience."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

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.

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.

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

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.
