"Michael did an amazing job! I had a TV mounted on the wall with all the cables running through the inside, so after taking it down, the wall needed quite a bit of repair. Michael came in, looked everything over, repaired the drywall, filled all the holes, and painted the entire wall. When he was done, you couldn’t even tell a TV had ever been mounted there. He also painted a small workroom for me at no extra charge, which was really nice of him. Everything came out great, and I’m very happy with his work. I’ll definitely be calling Michael again to paint the other two rooms in my apartment. Highly recommend him!"

He was professional, courteous, and did an excellent job repairing the damaged ceiling ( including disinfection) and painting . He and his team left our house spotless. The ceiling looks brand new. We will definitely use his services again."

"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."

"KMC Home Improvement is possibly the best company we've ever worked with. We hired Klever (the owner) and his crew to repair and skim coat the old plaster walls in our main bathroom and install a new sink/vanity, new toilet, new base molding and window casing, and then to paint the room. The final product looks amazing. Klever and his men arrived early each day, worked hard and quickly, and paid great attention to detail. Klever is a real perfectionist and a real pro. He clearly has a lot of experience in the field. When they were finished with the bathroom, we asked if he would patch and paint the ceiling and walls in an adjacent bedroom, which was accomplished in an equally professional manner. We look forward to using KMC contracting again, and can recommend them without reservation."

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

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.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
