"We hired this company for a home remodeling project. While the craftsmanship was acceptable, the experience was disappointing. During the job, the team cut shower panels on top of our brand-new laminate flooring, damaging several tiles. They replaced the damaged sections using our spare materials but didn?t offer reimbursement. The most serious issue was payment handling. We weren?t told payment was due immediately upon completion. My partner, the only one home, informed them he had to leave for class. They repeatedly called and texted, demanding payment within 15 minutes and threatening to rip out the shower if not paid. We were not upset about payment but the aggressive approach and lack of communication. After leaving this review, we received follow-up messages that guilted us, claiming we were hurting a family-owned business. This review reflects the poor communication and unprofessional behavior, not the remodel quality."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Small hairline cracks in plaster walls are not serious and are mostly cosmetic, but larger or widespread cracks indicate structural problems that need repair. 

  • Cracks 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner: Cosmetic cracks you can repair if desired.

  • Cracks wider than 0.5 centimeters or widespread cracks: Structural repair is needed, either DIY or by a pro.

  • Cracks 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) or wider: Contact a plaster repair professional.

Watch for large, deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, and cracks along the walls where they meet the ceiling. Repair these cracks to prevent further damage.

Heat can help plaster dry faster, but it's very easy to get too much of a good thing. When exposed to high heat during the curing process, plaster can dry out too quickly, leading to cracks and affecting the material's integrity. The recommended drying temperature should be listed on the plaster's packaging. If possible, set the thermostat in the room to that temperature, but not any higher.

Painting or plastering over water-damaged wall plaster is only a temporary fix and doesn’t fix the real problem. If you must, wait until the surface is completely dry before applying a new layer. However, we recommend you remove the damaged plaster and properly perform a repair or hire a professional to do it. Water damage repair is normally covered by your home insurance.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

Yes, to some extent, you can speed up the time it takes plaster to dry and cure. Choose a time of year when humidity levels are somewhere in the middle, neither too high nor too low, to allow moisture to evaporate from the plaster effectively. Also, open a window or set up a fan in the room to improve ventilation.

Don't use a dehumidifier in an attempt to speed up drying time, as a dehumidifier may suck moisture from the air too quickly, leading to crumbly plaster.
