"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!"

"My experience with Traeger Plastering was by far the best experience I’ve had with anyone working on my house. Tony responded to my inquiry within hours and was there the next day to look at my damage and give me a quote. The next day, I had a ceiling above my bathtub and the walls and ceiling of my kitchen repaired. It was that easy. Tony and his team repaired water damage on two areas of my kitchen ceiling and one area of my kitchen wall. They also replaced crumbling and missing plaster over my bathroom tub with wallboard that was then plastered, glazed, and caulked. The work is top-notch. They were here right when he said they’d be, and the work was reasonably priced. They were also clean. There’s not a particle of plaster dust in my house; they even swept up the bits of plaster that were already all over my kitchen before they got there. Most importantly, Tony is a nice guy. I think most of us ladies have had experiences with contractors or handymen who’ve come in to our houses and talked down to us or—even worse—talked down to us before asking to speak to our husbands. That’s not Tony. Tony’s a friendly man who puts you right at ease and explains everything to you without being condescending. Tony also loves animals and will make sure your pets don’t get out while he and his team are working. I waited until I'd finished priming and painting their work to post this just to make sure everything was kosher. And it's really just beautiful work; you'd never know that it was patched even though parts of it *were* patched before they did their work. It's just so beyond what I expected; I hope they're available for any work I need in the future."

"Top notch plaster repair. Super clean after a job that required cutting old plaster out of a ceiling. Robert even patched a few additional rough spots in the ceiling that was not part of the main job. Highly recommend."

"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

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

Wondering who to call for ceiling repair? While you can hire a handyperson to fix minor cracks, you’ll want to hire a drywall professional for larger issues. Depending on the cause of the crack, you may need to hire other contractors, such as a foundation contractor, mold remediation company, roofer, or plumber near you.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.
