"Can’t say enough good about Rich and Louis! It’s incredible to find people with such professionalism. They were on time, updated me daily, let me know work scope for each day, cleaned up every night and did exactly what I asked. They were flexible when I added things and tried different things to find the best solution for difficult plasterwork. Pricing was very fair, they are worth every penny!! It was a great feeling to hand him my key and not worry about my home. Such a fantastic process and my home looks amazing!"

"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."

"By the time I called Asm of Hudson Contracting I was at the end of my rope. I previously had some work done on my roof, twice by a company that clearly had no idea what they were doing and the end result was a leaky roof. Add that to a very rainy July and you can imagine how high my stress level was. I had a list of roofers/contractors who I interviewed via phone and it is amazing how rude some people are, even when you’re trying to give them business. But not so with Asm, he came by to inspect my roof and advise the work that needed to be done. He detailed every step needed and sent me pictures throughout the entire time they worked on my roof and repaired the interior damage. He was also very sensitive to the fact that we had been living with the leak for almost a month and was very diligent about completing the work as close to the deadline as possible. I waited awhile before I wrote my review because I was burned before and I wanted to make sure there were no additional/subsequent issues. And there were none. I am very happy with the work done by Hudson Contracting and plan to use them on future projects."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

Many services include repainting to match the existing surface. Confirm with your provider.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.
