"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

"Rick's work was top notch. I could tell he cared about how the repair would go and if it wasn't perfect, or to his satisfaction, he would not stop until it was! Rick was the first ever contractor to call me back if/when he would be running a little late. He even took the time and care to be mindful of the mess he was making and he cleaned up! I honestly wish I had more project for him!! I am recommending him to everyone/anyone I know that needs plaster/drywall repair."

"Antone & Brenda still continue to exceed my expectations. As a plumbing business owner, at times, we need to access plumbing through drywall & plaster and we like to recommend a professional to complete repairs. Finally, after 30 years, I found a competent crew who is experienced, clean, pays close attention to detail and respects the customer and their home. This is huge! Lobos Whitewalls has definitely separated itself from other drywall contractors. I continue to use Antone & Brenda on several projects and they will always be my first recommendation to anyone needing this type of work. Great job Antone & Brenda!!"

"Kirty is by far the best all around contractor that you could hope to find. We were lucky enough to have him as a sub-contractor on our bathroom remodel and the work he did spoke for itself. Needless to say when it was time for our next project (deck rip off and patio install) I knew who to call without calling anyone else, he was our guy. He does honest work at honest prices and he actually cares about what he's doing for you. He treats each project like it's his own home and is way harder on himself if something isn't right than we could ever be. We have already started discussing our next project of finishing our basement and he knows the job is his......I don't give reviews often but when I do it's because they are well deserved and Kirty is definitely worthy of my time in giving him the full gratitude he deserves for the help he has provided me and my family with the work he has done for us in improving our home! Thanks KIRTY!!!!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

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 is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.
