"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"Hugh's three workers were fantastic. They completed the work on the deck replacement in a day-and-a-half. The work was done cleanly with no damage to the landscaping that is so close to the project. Clean up when the project was completed is superior to any other we had done in the past. The refurbished storm door looks brand new and is a welcoming addition to the project. Hugh contacted us the same day as our request and showed up for the initial estimate on time. I cannot emphasize more what a pleasant experience it was having Hugh and his workers take care of our project. HNI is being highly recommended by us, and we will be calling him for additional projects in the future. The quality of the work done far exceeds the cost. Thank You. Hugh"

"Leon was great. He was very clean, courteous and went above and beyond. He also touched up a few things without me even asking. He price was very fair. I am recommending him to friends and family and will have a few other projects to do with him."

"I have never been so pleased!!! Alberto and his crew were hands-down the most responsive, skilled and dedicated workers I have ever had the honor of hiring. My 1877 house has all-plaster walls and this room had major cracks across the walls and ceiling (see BEFORE photos). I had three bids, and Alberto was the only one who really knew how to handle the job. One guy wanted to sheetrock over the ceiling, another was going to treat it like sheet rock with taping and joint compound and another just said he'd spackle. Alberto knew just what to do to repair it and I knew he knew because an old friend of mine had done the same approach years ago on some cracks in a different room. It took three days just to prep and repair the walls and ceiling. Once they moved on to painting, this too was complicated because I had three different colors and molding and trim work. I couldn't believe how smooth my walls and ceiling were and how gorgeous my bookcase looked (see AFTER photos). I also added a hallway because I was so pleased with what they were doing I didn't want them to leave. Besides the exceptional quality of the workmanship, I have to comment now on the fact that they cleaned up each day and showed up when they said they would. What put me over the roof was the fact that Alberto said they would come on a Saturday because he wanted to get the job done by Tuesday (and I had added more work). Saturday was a major snow storm. I live on a big hill that wasn't even plowed but sure enough Alberto and his crew showed up in a four-wheel vehicle to get the job done. I already am planning my next painting project for them. I have had a lot of workers doing many jobs on my house over the years and Alberto is the ONLY one I have ever been fully satisfied with. I confidently and highly recommend them."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

There are several warning signs that a ceiling crack is connected to a larger issue. For starters, if the crack is wider than 1/8 inch or longer than 12 inches, you might have a more serious problem. The same applies if you have multiple smaller cracks or cracks going across the ceiling and down the wall. In any of these situations, you should ask a professional to assess the damage.

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.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.

If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.
