"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."

"I have never been so pleased!!! Alberto and his crew were hands-down the most responsive, skilled and dedicated workers I have ever had the honor of hiring. My 1877 house has all-plaster walls and this room had major cracks across the walls and ceiling (see BEFORE photos). I had three bids, and Alberto was the only one who really knew how to handle the job. One guy wanted to sheetrock over the ceiling, another was going to treat it like sheet rock with taping and joint compound and another just said he'd spackle. Alberto knew just what to do to repair it and I knew he knew because an old friend of mine had done the same approach years ago on some cracks in a different room. It took three days just to prep and repair the walls and ceiling. Once they moved on to painting, this too was complicated because I had three different colors and molding and trim work. I couldn't believe how smooth my walls and ceiling were and how gorgeous my bookcase looked (see AFTER photos). I also added a hallway because I was so pleased with what they were doing I didn't want them to leave. Besides the exceptional quality of the workmanship, I have to comment now on the fact that they cleaned up each day and showed up when they said they would. What put me over the roof was the fact that Alberto said they would come on a Saturday because he wanted to get the job done by Tuesday (and I had added more work). Saturday was a major snow storm. I live on a big hill that wasn't even plowed but sure enough Alberto and his crew showed up in a four-wheel vehicle to get the job done. I already am planning my next painting project for them. I have had a lot of workers doing many jobs on my house over the years and Alberto is the ONLY one I have ever been fully satisfied with. I confidently and highly recommend them."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

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.

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.

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.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.
