"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!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

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.

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.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

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.
