"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!"

"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

"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

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

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.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.
