"Antone & Brenda still continue to exceed my expectations. As a plumbing business owner, at times, we need to access plumbing through drywall & plaster and we like to recommend a professional to complete repairs. Finally, after 30 years, I found a competent crew who is experienced, clean, pays close attention to detail and respects the customer and their home. This is huge! Lobos Whitewalls has definitely separated itself from other drywall contractors. I continue to use Antone & Brenda on several projects and they will always be my first recommendation to anyone needing this type of work. Great job Antone & Brenda!!"

"Kirty is by far the best all around contractor that you could hope to find. We were lucky enough to have him as a sub-contractor on our bathroom remodel and the work he did spoke for itself. Needless to say when it was time for our next project (deck rip off and patio install) I knew who to call without calling anyone else, he was our guy. He does honest work at honest prices and he actually cares about what he's doing for you. He treats each project like it's his own home and is way harder on himself if something isn't right than we could ever be. We have already started discussing our next project of finishing our basement and he knows the job is his......I don't give reviews often but when I do it's because they are well deserved and Kirty is definitely worthy of my time in giving him the full gratitude he deserves for the help he has provided me and my family with the work he has done for us in improving our home! Thanks KIRTY!!!!"

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.

In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.
