"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!!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"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

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

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.
