"Jaime called me and set up a day to come after we talked about what needed to be done. I had plenty of repairs to do after a tenant moved out. He did an excellent job on everything I needed done. He definitely does quality work and I will without a doubt call him again!"

"A hassle free experience. Just a couple phone calls and text messages to look at the work and arrange for the time for the work to be done. The work was completed quickly and they did good work. The work area was left clean. I would hire Farnsworth Interiors Drywall and Plaster again.

"I have used Caserta and company for years, maybe 15.  They work methodically, slow and steady and it's done before you know it. They also clean up everynight so your house is not a mess.  I love these guys.  I look for things to get painted, just to have them back."

"I have had issues with my A/C unit for a few years. When I originally got it checked out, the guy said that there is a leak that cannot be found, that he will keep recharging my unit it, but eventually I'm going to have to buy a whole new one. Replacing my A/C and installation would have cost me $5K and upwards. I had United Renovations Group come out and within an hour they knew exactly what was wrong. They replaced my condenser, cleaned, and recharged my unit for an extremely cheap price. They are a new business, trying to get there name out there. And they are definitely worth looking into. They are motivated, hardworking, and dedicated to their work. And I would trust them with any of my contractor needs."

"I paid the $50.00 and I was supposed to get a "free" estimate and then get $300.00 worth of repairs. They gave me an estimate ($5,000)...wanted to dig 30 feet along the outside of the wall where the water was coming in.  The place where it leaks is only a 4 feet wide section - where the window well is located.
I emailed them to ask questions and they never answered the email.
So, I got nothing for my $50.00 except a "free" estimate.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

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.

If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.
