"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."

"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

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.

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.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

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.
