"Jim was very helpful with what turned out to be a stress crack in my wall and wayer damage to my ceiling. He explained every step of what needed to be done and did a very good job. We will definitely be looking to hire him in the future for other work that we need to have done in the future."

"I recently hired George for a home renovation project, and I could not be happier with the results. From start to finish, they exceeded my expectations in every way. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and craftsmanship were exceptional. They installed moldings, painted and repaired my closet doors."

"Kevin was on time. He started to prepare my ceiling for repair plastering. Beside the crack I also had water stains & my swirls were gone! He covered my hanging lamp & put plastic & tape to protect the walls and surrounding area. When completed, my ceiling looked beautiful. You would never guess I had any problems in that area. He even swirled that area so it would blend in with the rest of my ceiling. Iâ m very satisfied with the results. When done, he vacuumed & wiped my floor on his hands & knees & cleaned everything up! I would not hesitate to hire PatchMaster again. I highly recommend them!"

"Paul and his crew are true professionals. After several frustrating and stressful experiences with other contractors, dealing with PK construction was the exact opposite. Paul answered all of our questions and never left us hanging. His jobsight crews were very professional from start to finish. We originally contacted PK Construction for a basement remodel, but we ended up deciding to remodel our kitchen instead and they did a beautiful job."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Professionals diagnose underlying causes, such as structural shifts or moisture problems, and apply appropriate solutions like reinforcement, patching, or sealing. These measures restore wall integrity and prevent recurrence, ensuring long-term stability.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly.
