"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."

"Glenn is the best – and as a 70 year old, I have a lot of experience with workers in my home. I had a good deal of water damage over 2 floors and multiple walls and ceilings. It required expertise and a variety of skills to repair and replace all the various aspects, and to make it seamless with the undamaged areas. He is an absolute magician, totally outclassing any previous similar work that I’ve had done and resulting in a totally seamless, as-new appearance. And, he is a no-drama professional – reliable, honest, and sincere. His pricing was also more than competitive. He is now my go to guy for EVERYTHING related to the home."

"This is the second job performed by Hudson Contracting during the last 5 years and I am as satisfied today as I was when they did the initial job. Asm and his crew are great to work with. They are responsive in preparing a detailed and price competitive quote. Once the job began they ensured that dust and trash were kept down to a minimum , cleaning up at the end of each workday. During the course of the weeklong project either Asm or his brother stopped by at least once a day to ensure the project was progressing to their satisfaction and finally when the job was completed an inspection was conducted with me to ensure that I was happy with the job. I hope that I don't need another project to be done in the near future, but when I do I'll call Asm because I know that with him we'll get a quality job at a fair price."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.
