"Christian did a great job repairing the plaster damage in our living room. He was fast and efficient. When he uncovered some structural damage behind one section of wall he explained what needed to be done and only added a small amount to the original estimate. He is friendly and professional. I would highly recommend him!"

"This was the second time I've used Kodzev Contractor Services, and to say I'm happy is an understatement. First, as with any repair work, there is the quote, which was much less than expected, both times. Second, is the work, which in both cases, was better than I expected. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is very evident on both jobs. Third, and almost as important, is the customer service. Kris, the owner, is driven by integrity and a total drive to create future customers, not short term revenue generators. He says what he can, and cannot do, and sticks to those words. I would and will absolutely use Kodzev Contractor Services again."

"I can't recommend Mr. Malone highly enough! He's very professional, is very knowledgeable and does great work. I had recurring drywall issues including large wall cracks from settling and drywall tape lifting in a 35-year old home. Both painters and handymen had done quick repairs with spackling and tape, but it never worked for long. Mr. Malone actually understood what was causing the problems and what was needed to prevent or minimize the chances of issues recurring. He explained all of the steps of my project well and worked very efficiently. I'm extremely satisfied with his work. Very highly recommended!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Tamer did a great job with our plaster repair project. He communicated well, showed up on time, and kept us apprised of his progress. He pays attention to detail and takes pride in his work. My only criticism is about clean up. Could have done better with clean up, but overall we are happy with his work and would hire him again."

"After initial consultation, determined that the kitchen wall above the refrigerator needed patching, painting, and replacement of moulding around the remaining cabinet. Also repaired a small wall in the living room and painted a small strip of wall in the hallway, with a start date of June 15 for $450. Showed up late, as he did for the next two days, with no message or phone contact stating he was running late. Proceeded to do the work and, by Wednesday afternoon, was finished. We both remarked about the moulding joint on the cabinet, and he asked if it would be possible to come back to replace that moulding. We agreed, and he asked if I would contact him mid-July after he completed 2 large projects. I said yes, and I did contact him in mid-July. He said that the soonest he could come was August 18, which was agreed to. Tuesday, August 18 came, and he didn’t show up or contact us at any time. We tried to reach him throughout the day with no success. He did leave a text stating that he would call the next morning, Wednesday, at 10 am. No phone call received. I tried to reach him several times throughout the day but was ignored. My last phone call, about 6 pm, asked why he was ghosting us, and if he didn’t respond, I would contact Angi’s list and leave a negative review. He texted later that night stating that he would come back whenever he felt like it and that I should show some “patience”. He was also upset that I should have asked him to set up an actual date for his return. He never said he would come on a specific day. I did not make up the August 18 booking, as we have a very busy calendar, and I post everything to make sure we keep that specific date clear."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Professionals diagnose underlying causes, such as structural shifts or moisture problems, and apply appropriate solutions like reinforcement, patching, or sealing. These measures restore wall integrity and prevent recurrence, ensuring long-term stability.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

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.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.
