"Miguel did an excellent job replacing some damaged floorboards/railing, properly gapping existing floorboards, and staining the deck. Miguel was punctual and responsive in our communication. He was professional in every aspect of his work and our older deck now looks like new. I would not hesitate to use MM Carpentry Construction again."

"Had some very challenging problems in my home and he was able to assess them correctly and work with me in reaching a plan to my satisfaction. Blitz (Eric) is particularly skilled in plastering, caulking and painting and he encountered some very challenging crown molding issues. We discovered a serious issue which my engineer missed two years ago when I purchased this property and he corrected it, as additional work at a very reasonable rate of compensation. His thoroughness averted a potentially threatening fire hazard! His experience & techniques resulted in a more than satisfied customer."

"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 questions, answered by experts

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.

With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.

However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.

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.

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).

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.
