"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."

"We were preparing our home for sale but had some old water damage to the plaster ceiling in a bedroom. After reaching out to several local contractors with no response, Bill answered the phone and the rest is history! #1, he is friendly, personable and cares about his work. #2, he does great work and is upfront and honest and #3, he charges a fair price! After the sale of our home & purchase of our new home, we enlisted Bill's services again for a rather large interior paint job. He prioritized the work so that we could set up the most important rooms first and then came everything else. I'm a hands on homeowner so I had many great conversations with Bill over the course of many weeks & gained some good knowledge. Would recommend him and his services to anyone without hesitation."

"We had cracks in the dyed mortar of the bricks above our garage. Grady took the time to match the color, even with the color having aged 10 years, and you would not even be able to tell that there was new mortar. If your project is anything like ours, you will not be disappointed."

"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

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.

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. 

Repairing plaster walls or ceilings is almost always worthwhile. It restores the appearance of your home, and if it's an exterior wall, the repair can improve curb appeal and provide a great return on investment when selling. Plaster repairs can also reinforce the wall, preventing minor cracks from spreading, and improve your home’s energy efficiency by fixing gaps in the insulative material, potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, hiring a professional allows them to check if the damage is from a serious underlying issue, such as foundation instability. Catching a problem like this early could save you thousands.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.
