"Chris contacted us by text within 30 minutes of searching on Angi's List. I sent a picture and described the issue. He called and came shortly after. He diagnosed the issue and after making a run to the store to buy the needed items, he fixed it (now works like new) and cleaned up the area. He was prompt, professional and the cost was reasonable. 100% recommend his work."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.

Regular inspections and cleaning to prevent moisture or pest issues.

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