"Albert did an excellent job repairing our ceiling which had water damage from leak in our air conditioning. He arrived 2 days to complete the plaster job . We are pleased with ceiling which had a pattern. Can't tell any difference in the pattern that he repaired. Would recommend Albert for any plastering or drywall job."

"Codee and his team moved me from Marion to Carey, OH on June 18, 2022. They were a little bit late getting there, but that was better for me because it gave me more time to get ready for them before they got there because I was also running behind. Anyway, Codee and his team really did a great job, and they joked around and made it kind of fun, and I HATE MOVING!! We had to make 2 trips, but they were done in a timely manner. They handled my things with care, took down my curtains, took my bed and dresser apart and put them back together, and unhooked my washer and dryer and then hooked my washer back up in the new house (but I had do purchase a new plug receptacle because it was different than the plug that was on my dryer). There was a washer/dryer in the new house that I didn't need, and they even took that back to Marion for me and delivered it to the neighbor that I gave it to, WOW, how about that for service!! I was very pleased with the team, and the service was exceptional, and we had a great time. I would recommend this team/business to anyone! Bonnie B."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Ensures structural integrity and aesthetic consistency with proper materials and techniques.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.
