"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."

"The crew fixed some falling plaster on our bedrokm ceiling and was able to match the texture perfectly. They also fixed some broken boards on our wood floor and stained them to match. Overall the work was wonderful and done very quickly."

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

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

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.

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

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.

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.
