"After plumbing repairs were finished, I dreaded the next step... plastering. Choosing Speedy Patch is the only way to go, folks. Shane and Andy arrived for an estimate, explained the products they use that controll dust, and I was sold. On the scheduled morning, Andy began prepping, Chad and Christian arrived, and by 4pm, they were done. Their workmanship and "speed" is amazing. Beautiful plastering without the dust. So definitely money well spent. Thank you Chad, Andy, and Christian. You're the best!"

"Requested Help on Saturday 9:15Am, received a phone call at 10:am. He said that he would come by this Saturday (today) at 10:30am. Mr. Johnson arrived on time. We showed him two bathrooms needed to be done asap. He started that right away. After he finished that job. Then, we added several more projects with the same stipulation that they had to be done right away. He completed all of our jobs in quick order. All plastering, painting 3 bathrooms, repairing porch railing & installation of 5 posts as well as painting the porch rails & floor. He & his team completed the jobs in three days. He went over and above on meeting our expectations and our deadline. He has a very positive attitude and is very timely. We strongly recommend. We will use him in the future when we have a need. Well pleased - Mr. & Mrs Johnny R"

"Robert came out to review the damage. He was very professional and explained what they would do. The family room ceiling was about 3 feet by one foot area. The work was impressive. When they finished and it dried, you really need to know where to look to see the repair."

"Mr. Moyer is truly a professional and did such a great job repairing the damage.    During the process, I had one area that required drywall over an area that was to cover the pipes coming from the upstairs sink.    He noticed a drop of water on the drywall and I had to have plumber come out to repair the water leak under the sink.    It was such a subtle leak, but definitely needed repair prior to completing the job which could have caused more damage down the road if not detected.    He did an excellent clean up job as well once he completed the work."

"We couldn't be happier with our experience with Rene. We hired him to do our kitchen tile floor and he did such a great job, we didn't hesitate to work with him again to install the wood flooring throughout the rest of our main floor. He works quickly and also pays a lot of attention to detail. He noticed a few things that weren't quite right without us pointing them out or even noticing. And he would have the fixed the next day. We would definitely consider him again if we have any projects in the future."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Repairing plaster walls or ceilings is almost always worthwhile. It restores the appearance of your home, and if it's an exterior wall, the repair can improve curb appeal and provide a great return on investment when selling. Plaster repairs can also reinforce the wall, preventing minor cracks from spreading, and improve your home’s energy efficiency by fixing gaps in the insulative material, potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, hiring a professional allows them to check if the damage is from a serious underlying issue, such as foundation instability. Catching a problem like this early could save you thousands.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
