Customers say: True professional

"We give Tony the highest recommendation. We had water damage to the ceiling in our master bedroom along with other areas in different rooms that needed plaster repair. They meticulously protected the areas they worked in. Repairs were perfect and Tony matched the pattern in our ceiling perfectly. They cleaned up the area and left no signs they were there. No plaster dust anywhere. Tony and his assistant were personal and professional. We are so happy we chose them. Perfect job at a reasonable price."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.
