"Rez was GREAT! He went over and beyond what I even expected. He caulked around my windows before painting them which helped improve my homes problem with cold draft. A problem since I had my new windows put in. Iâ m sure he didnâ t have to go that far but he did. Awesome! I wish I could put a picture on here of his work. You should see how clean his cut inâ s are! Itâ s perfect.. Dang. Iâ ve had my home painted before and I must say that he outdid the previous painters. My ceilings are perfect, cut inâ s are pristine, crown molding is perfectâ ¦ baseboards perfect. Iâ m very particular. I notice everything. A hard client to please. . Very hard. He was very respectful and very professional. I definitely recommend him. I will be calling him again to do some tile work, and in the spring because I have some exterior work that needs to be done. If youâ re looking for a professional that takes pride in his work then heâ s your man. Thank you Rez!!!"

"Jim was great to work with. He was always responsive to questions, and the people that work for him are great too. Our house is very much a construction zone, so he had the code to our garage so he could come and go as he pleases. We would absolutely recommend Jim in the future for anyone who needs drywall install or repair work."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.
