"John came promptly to quote for the several small jobs needing to be done to complete our house sale. He came the next day to complete the jobs - such as preventing siphoning from the dishwasher to the drain, and fixing the pop-up bathtub drain plug. He cleaned out a lot of crud around the condenser of one A/C unit (that had been missed by the technicians), and came back at no charge once the piering was finished to complete the work on the other unit. He provided good service for a good price."

Small jobs welcome

"The job ended up requiring more work than was originally expected. ARC Remodeling came up with a plan to fix the problems and shoddy workmanship the prior homeowner had done. This required getting more lumber, installing a door header, moving electrical boxes, and drywall work. ARC remodeling worked all day to make sure the opening would be weatherproof. They completed the door install with quality work and were conscientious about doing the job correctly. They cleaned up their workspace throughout the project. ARC remodeling gave me a very fair price for the work they did. They were very punctual and even helped with some minor work that was not part of the door install. I would highly recommend them and plan on using this company for future projects."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.
