"George called me back promptly & came the next morning &; gave me an estimate. The work was done the following day. His crew did a great job. They insulated the opening, plastered, painted & put on the baseboard. You cannot even tell the wall was repaired (there had been a wall AC unit removed)."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"Larry Doyle repaired the damage to the ceiling and wall. He installed new drywall in both areas and left it looking as if there had never been a leak. He came back twice following the repair to put additional coats of plaster over the new drywall and then smooth it out. He did an excellent job, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs this type of repair."

"As a first-time homeowner, finding the right contractor for a major renovation project was incredibly important to me and my family. We recently purchased a colonial-style home in Abington that needed significant cosmetic updates and repairs before we could move in. Wesley and the team at WNP Painting and Remodeling exceeded every expectation. In just two and a half weeks, they completely transformed our home. Their work included wallpaper removal, painting the entire interior, electrical and plumbing repairs, deck updates, fence installation, door installation, shutters, exterior trim work, luxury vinyl plank flooring, carpet installation, and much more. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the attention to detail was evident throughout the entire project. What impressed me most was Wesley's communication, honesty, and leadership. Since this was my first home renovation, I relied heavily on his expertise. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained issues when"

"We started work with Joe over the summer when he did the original work - mid July. We had several rooms that needed to be addressed, but most important was getting the bathroom done. Joe came to do an estimate very quickly. The estimate was extremely fair, well laid out, and he was quick to send it.
The job took the better part of a week. His workers were fabulous - really friendly and put up with our crazy dog who loved them and wanted to know what they were doing. They were very accommodating when we asked questions and dealt with our plumber being there one of the days as well. It was a big job, and they left the house clean and neat at the end of each day which was a huge bonus. The work itself was really good with no problems.  They even put a skim coat over plaster that had cracked during original demo work which was nice.
He said he'd get back to me to schedule the rest of the work. I contacted him in September to schedule the rest of the work, he said he would, and then didn't email me back. I contacted him again the end of November asking to schedule us for the week of Dec 28 and he said that would work which was perfect because my office was closed. My husband and I cancelled our travel plans and cut short our Christmas visit with family so we could be home for the work to be done.
Dec 17 he said he may be finishing up other jobs and asked what my other availability was, which I have none until May which I told him. I received no response until I emailed again on the 27th asking if we were still on, which he said he'd rather not because he'd like to focus on the job completely and asked to figure out another time.
I completely understand that things happen and jobs run over, but it was absolutely devastating to have waited so long and cancel everything. Their original work was perfect, their price was exactly within our budget, and I truly loved the team. I cannot praise them enough for the job they had completed. However, the communication was less than desirable. I really wish we could have had them in for the rest of the work.

"I hired Dominic's Painting to paint the entire exterior of my old (1700's) colonial home in the Summer of 2017. This was a very big project and they did such a fantastic job that I hired them once again to paint (and wallpaper) the interior of my house in late 2017. I was totally satisfied with all the work that they did. They were punctual, hardworking and very professional at all times. I had gotten several other job estimates before hiring them and their price was the most reasonable for the work. John is a pleasure to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone who needs either interior or exterior paining done. I particularly recommend them for the difficult job of painting an old home. My home needed a lot of plastering and special care and nothing was a problem for them. They went above and beyond my expectations-always ready to do anything that was needed. Check this company out before you hire anyone else!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.

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.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

Like many other repair projects, the cost to fix a behind-the-wall shower leak depends on several factors. The cost of your repair may depend on the type of leak (from a clog or burst pipe), type of piping, and location of the leak. The extent of the issue and how difficult it is to access the pipes can greatly impact and increase your price. On average, you can expect to pay around $150 to $600 to repair a leaking shower.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.
