"On April 25, 2024, we had a bad experience with B&D Sealcoating & More, William â Billâ Kester and Dustin Wackwitz (â B&Dâ ). They dug out a trench where our driveway meets our garage floor and left a serious trip hazard and perfect place for water to pool to cause more property damage (pictures attached). Perhaps they ran out of materials and just decided to call it a day (since they began work at the street and worked their way up to the garage, that explanation seems plausible). I wasnâ t home when they finished, and my husband had given them the $1,450 check earlier (which they cashed at our bank after leaving our home) so withholding funds wasn't an option. We were very dissatisfied but, after receiving a text from the person who recommended B&D warning us to NOT hire them because of newly-discovered information, we decided to just cut our losses and hire someone else to finish the job. Until now, the only person we confided in about our dissatisfaction with B&D was the author of the warning text. Unfortunately, the author of the warning text recently shared our dissatisfaction with William â Billâ Kester and he sent us several threatening and taunting messages. We are in the process of finalizing a complaint with the PA Attorney General and exploring legal options."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you’re not sure what’s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you’re up for the task, here’s how to repair ceiling cracks for $150 or less.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

You can drywall over plaster, but there are some things to consider. First, installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall’s thickness. This could create challenges for window and door frames that no longer fit the wall’s thickness. You may also have to adjust power outlets so they are accessible. When done right, drywall can create a smooth, flat appearance, but it’s best when handled by professionals.

You can plaster over an old plaster ceiling if the existing plaster is in good condition. Ensure the surface is clean, free of loose material, and roughened slightly to promote adhesion. Applying a bonding agent or primer can further enhance adhesion. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and long-lasting plaster finish.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.
