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."

"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

Depending on how much adhesive was used as well as the strength of the adhesive, you may have some drywall damage when removing a mirror. You can typically repair most drywall damage if it’s small by sanding the damaged area, applying spackle to smooth the damaged section so it’s flush with the rest of the wall, and repainting the area.

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.

Whether you can install or repair plaster yourself depends on the project's size and your comfort level with DIY projects. It's possible to handle small repairs on your own, but for larger projects like a room restoration or a full installation, it's often best to hire a local plaster professional. The final appearance, even coverage, and durability of the plaster depend heavily on proper wall preparation and application. If you are not 100% confident in your ability to achieve a professional result, letting an expert handle the job is a worthwhile investment.

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.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.
