"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

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.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.
