"We had a wonderful experience with A Fresh Look. Fidelis is very professional (and a great guy). His quotes included a good break down of the work and were very competitive. He was great with scheduling the work and was very punctual. Fidelis's work is excellent and he also does an amazing job with dust and debris management. Walkway tarps were laid throughout our house to protect the floors and plastic was put up to contain the dust within the work areas. With out a doubt we would recommend A Fresh Look."

"We had a very large hole in our bedroom wall where a large flatscreen tv had pulled away from the wall. The wall was plaster and other contractors wanted to rip the entire wall out and put drywall up. I finally found Steve and he was professional reasonably priced and his work was perfect. I would recommend him to anyone looking for plaster repair."

"I canâ t say enough good things about my experience with Luxe Walls. Beth and Carl are an absolute delight. I had dreaded the very unpleasant, messy task of wallpaper removal in a stairwell and foyer but they made it a joy. They repaired and repainting those areas along with several other rooms, doors and trim. It couldnâ t have gone better. They were meticulous, respectful of the surrounding areas and so good at their job. It was an pleasure having them in my home. Everything went smoothly, no hiccups and was exactly as they projected,both in their estimate of price and length of time. Beth was awesome in guiding me through the difficulty of picking paint colors. Her patience was much appreciated. I canâ t recommend them highly enough. I am so pleased with the beautiful results. I have never been so calm and comfortable while having work done in my home as I was during this process with the Luxe Walls. I canâ t wait to find a new project so I can have them back."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"As a result of burst piping, David repaired our plaster walls and repainted entire living room, vestibule and touched up room molding trim. He was very cordial and a real professional throughout the entire ordeal. It was a pleasure working with him and we certainly look forward to using his talent again!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

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.

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.

Repairing plaster walls or ceilings is almost always worthwhile. It restores the appearance of your home, and if it's an exterior wall, the repair can improve curb appeal and provide a great return on investment when selling. Plaster repairs can also reinforce the wall, preventing minor cracks from spreading, and improve your home’s energy efficiency by fixing gaps in the insulative material, potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, hiring a professional allows them to check if the damage is from a serious underlying issue, such as foundation instability. Catching a problem like this early could save you thousands.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.
