"Highly recommended! Albert drywalled the upstairs (3 rooms and hall), repairs ceiling holes, repaired and floated a plaster wall, drywalled a ceiling (over plaster) and skim coated 3 walls. He was professional, communicated well and the work was excellent. There were several challenges to our job (old house, etc.) so it wasnâ t typical. We highly recommend and will be using Albert again for our next project!"

"Very happy finding Dustin, took awesome care of us. We had him repair our water damaged bathroom ceiling and it turn out great! Very prompt and made sure we were happy with the final product. He provided recommendations for options to make the repairs, provided an estimate that was spot on, and even started the job the same day. And if that is not enough, he did so on New Years day. I really appreciate his confidence and expertise, made me know he was going to do a good job and I was not disappointed. Fantastic communication and very responsive. I will be recommending his services to others and using again. Thanks Dustin and Happy New Year! Truly appreciate the hard work."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Whether you can install or repair plaster yourself depends on the project's size and your comfort level with DIY projects. It's possible to handle small repairs on your own, but for larger projects like a room restoration or a full installation, it's often best to hire a local plaster professional. The final appearance, even coverage, and durability of the plaster depend heavily on proper wall preparation and application. If you are not 100% confident in your ability to achieve a professional result, letting an expert handle the job is a worthwhile investment.

While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you’re not sure what’s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you’re up for the task, here’s how to repair ceiling cracks for $150 or less.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.

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.
