"We had several small drywall cracks that needed repair, and our pull-down attic ladder had a bad hinge.  Walt and Tammy were prompt and responsive to these issues, and they also took care of a couple of additional drywall repairs without changing the estimate.  The attic ladder was an unusual repair, as it involved modifying a poorly assembled lower segment, but Walt was able to correct this without issue.  In addition, Tammy noticed some cracked caulking in our bathroom by the tub, which she also repaired for no additional charge.
Overall, we are satisfied with the work done, and we will definitely use the service again for handyman needs."

"Work was subpar. Drywall tape that was put on to fix a large spot peeled right off after painting. Texturing was horrible. Not on time and did not communicate well. Told me as soon as I painted you would not be able to see the spots he fixed but they show right thru the paint. Nails were popping thru in the ceiling and the texturing is all clumped you and not professional looking."

"Mike was awesome! He was very helpful and knowledgeable with my project overall. I had some lighting installed and needed drywall repair. Mike worked around my hectic schedule and made sure it got done. I have future projects in line and will definitely be using Bridgetown Drywall again. I highly recommend!"

"First let me say that we received several bids from highly recommended painters, but Alfonso was the ONLY one to talk about the prep work. He noticed and pointed out parts of the job that required repair and replacement. He understands building and he demonstrated fine skill while working on our twenty-five-year old manufactored home. His team was professional as well. Tom demonstrated great skill as a carpenter. The men arrived early and stayed late. Breaks were brief and their commitment to the job was evident each step of the way. Preparation was not hurried and everything, once repaired, was very well caulked. Three colors were applied, much of it by hand. When the taping and the plastic was all removed, we couldn't believe the results. Our old home just pops. It looks new again. A perfect job we feel will last many years. ABQ is highly recommended. Even our dogs loved these guys! Wonderful painters; wonderful men."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

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.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.

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.
