Q: What damages plaster?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How much does plastering a wall cost?

• <div><p>Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between <b>$2 and $10</b> <b>per square foot</b> for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you&rsquo;re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.</p></div>

Q: Why are my walls cracking so much?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-inspect-your-foundation.htm">foundation inspected</a>, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between spackle and joint compound, and which should be used for drywall repair?

• <div><p>Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.</p></div>

Q: How do you fill bad plastering?

• <div><p>If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they&rsquo;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. </p></div>
