"I could not have been more pleased with Hughes Plastering. I spoke with Timothy Hughes over the phone. He was at my house promptly on time the next morning. I suffered from a damaged dining room ceiling, that was the result of a leaky roof. Timothy was courteous, worked effeciently, and left the room spotless when the repair was finished. I have a textured plaster ceiling and was concerned about matching the ceiling pattern. The result was flawless...it blended in perfectly! I highly recommend Timothy Hughes and his team!"

Customers say: True professional

"Tony and his team were great. They secured and protected the area with paper on the floor, plastic on the walls and zipped entryways where i needed them. They cut out the sagging areas in the ceilings, put up blue board and plastered the ceilings in less than 2 days. They also took great care to blend the plaster into my crown moulding on the first floor ceiling, so that I wouldn't have to remove and replace it. The blending work between the ceilings and the walls was brilliant, and the finish was completely smooth. From the results, you'd never guess that the ceilings originally had a circular pattern that looked like someone had used a plunger to texturize it. They also did such a good job cleaning up. If I have another plaster job, I'd hire them in a heartbeat."

"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

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

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.
