"Francisco & I negotiated the correct solution to repairing my dinning room wall, and we decided skimming the wall with a plaster slurry. It looks great, and Francisco was very diligent with the work! He completed it over several days and It looks fantastic! Thank You!"

"Ty was quick to respond and fit us in. His work was great. We run a non-profit for at-risk veterans and when he found out what we did, he offered his work at no cost to us. A great guy that I would recommend highly to anyone needing drywall repair."

"Francis was super knowledgeable and gave great advice. We had him in to repair about 25 holes which had been left behind after electrical work to put in overhead lights. The holes were in the ceiling and in the textured walls. He not only patched the holes well, but he matched the texture on the wall perfectly! While he was in, he gave us some advice and recommendations and ultimately we also asked him to skim coat the ceilings that we had removed popcorn from and he did a great job there as well. At the end of the work we asked him to do, he cleaned up and left the areas he was in cleaner than they were when he came in! We are seriously amazed by the quality of work at an affordable price completed by Francis and will definitely go to him if we have any other work we need done. Great work done by a really great guy, highly recommend!"

"`Michael did several jobs for us including bathroom tile repair, replacing a damaged section of sub-floor and a damaged section of ceiling sheet rock. It involved installing grout, painting, and more. He also did extensive pressure washing of patio furniture, masonry, and bilco doors. He is highly skilled in multiple trades, very meticulous, and leaves his work areas tidy and in excellent condition. He is highiy recommended and I plan to use him for other jobs."

"The work was done professionally and in a timely manner. Before the professional started drilling into my ceiling for a fan and making a mess he ran another solution by me. My house is old and has the lath boards running throughout and makes things a little more difficult with not only the messiness but also to sheetrock over. He was said either way works with him drilling and plastering the hole or running the wire tubing. See picture for the solution which worked great."

"Jon has exquisitely repaired original plaster in an 1880‘s Victorian. He has replaced unrepairable plaster in a front hallway with sheetrock and finished all jobs with immaculate painting. He is currently painting the exterior with the same high quality work! Highly recommend!!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.
