"Tim Hughes did very high quality work. Tim and Jamie prepared the work area and cleaned up afterward to minimize any dust from the plaster repair. Very responsive, pleasant, and knowledgeable!"

"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."

"Robert and his crew transformed our home. The re-plastered walls are amazing (six rooms in two weeks). He and his crew were prompt, hard-working, courteous and very skilled. I would recommend Robert without hesitation."

"We recently had Jeff install a new electrical outlet and he was able to squeeze us in right before Christmas even with his busy schedule. In the past we've had him repair siding and do a basement remodel and he's been great with everything. He went out of his way to make sure the siding replacement matched the old color perfectly when it was very difficult to find. I've seen a lot of siding repairs not match the original color so this seems to be uncommon. He transformed our basement from a basically unusable space to what's now probably my favorite room in the house. He's always been a pleasure to deal with, honest about work that needs to be done, and responds very quickly. One of the things I appreciate most is that he'll do a job the way you want it to be done and do it the right way. We've had too many people try to cut corners and tell us how they want things done so it's refreshing to find a professional that will treat you right. Highly recommended!"

"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.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

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.

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.
