"I could not have been more pleased with Hughes Plastering. I spoke with Timothy Hughes over the phone. He was at my house promptly on time the next morning. I suffered from a damaged dining room ceiling, that was the result of a leaky roof. Timothy was courteous, worked effeciently, and left the room spotless when the repair was finished. I have a textured plaster ceiling and was concerned about matching the ceiling pattern. The result was flawless...it blended in perfectly! I highly recommend Timothy Hughes and his team!"

Customers say: True professional

"Tony and his team were great. They secured and protected the area with paper on the floor, plastic on the walls and zipped entryways where i needed them. They cut out the sagging areas in the ceilings, put up blue board and plastered the ceilings in less than 2 days. They also took great care to blend the plaster into my crown moulding on the first floor ceiling, so that I wouldn't have to remove and replace it. The blending work between the ceilings and the walls was brilliant, and the finish was completely smooth. From the results, you'd never guess that the ceilings originally had a circular pattern that looked like someone had used a plunger to texturize it. They also did such a good job cleaning up. If I have another plaster job, I'd hire them in a heartbeat."

"Jim (owner)called me immediately and scheduled an appointment for the next day. He was there on time(so rare today). He had an estimate to me quickly and started the job the next week. He not only did a phenomenal job installing a new roof but also fixed existing deck issues from a previous contractor. He had the entire job completed on time(also very unusual today). Jim was great to work with, he was easy to reach and always returned my phone calls. I would highly recommend DEASY Chief Contracting and will definitely use for any future work."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

Plaster repair costs range from $4 to $10 per square foot for refinishing, while skim coating can be less expensive, usually between $2 and $5 per square foot. The price you pay for plaster repairs will depend on the extent of the damage, the type of plaster you have on your walls, and the accessibility of the damage. Plaster repair on the exterior of your home tends to be more expensive, as there’s a higher chance that ladders or scaffolding will be necessary to carry out the repair.

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.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
