"This was the second time we've had SurfacePro in for work in our 1860s rowhouse, and another stellar experience. They did plaster repair and painting in our living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a hall ceiling. They had to contend with water damage areas, cracks in the plaster, and areas where the finish plaster was delaminating from the original horsehair base plaster. We hired them for the quality of their plaster repair work, but we were equally impressed this time with their painting. All aspects of the job, from prep to cleanup, were done with care and amazing efficiency. Also must commend their reliability - did what they said when they said and always were timely in getting back to us when we contacted them. We will definitely use them in the future."

"Fast, punctual, and did a great job! We had holes in our plaster ceiling and cracks in the walls, and he patched them up and matched the existing texture. Great job, and even came back to touch up a spot that was missed the first time at no extra charge. We would definitely use Steve again."

"Carlos and his team were simply amazing!! If there’s a way to share before and after pictures I absolutely will! They removed popcorn ceiling in 3 very large rooms and a hallway and painted all these areas, too. Paint is clean and neat, and they definitely took the extra time and put in extra effort to make the house look beautiful. The floors were cleaner after they left than before they started! Very kind people and was so happy to do business with them. Will recommend them to anyone and hope to use them again in the future."

"When confronted with a crisis because of a copper plumbing burglary, Mr. Grady, of Grady's Painting, Plastering and Construction, willingly traveled many miles to come to my aid. Requesting only a $1.00 deposit against a $4,500.00 job, he masterfully reconstructed my nineteenth century lath and plaster hallway wall, also thoroughly compensating for a missing portion of a central stud unwittingly removed by a plumber! After his extensive search for appropriate composition and dimension of material, he replaced and replicated a section of my forty-year-old faux onyx tub surround with common white PVC sheet, tinted oil-based colors, glaze, paint brush, and a rag. His applied natural talents and superlative skills saved me thousands of dollars! On the basis of both professional conversation and knowledgeable observation, Mr. Grady possesses the intrinsic knowledge of old-world trades, the artistic capabilities, the problem=solving thought processes, and the personal work ethic to accomplish a broud scope of reconstruction and restoration."

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.

Depending on how much adhesive was used as well as the strength of the adhesive, you may have some drywall damage when removing a mirror. You can typically repair most drywall damage if it’s small by sanding the damaged area, applying spackle to smooth the damaged section so it’s flush with the rest of the wall, and repainting the area.

There are several warning signs that a ceiling crack is connected to a larger issue. For starters, if the crack is wider than 1/8 inch or longer than 12 inches, you might have a more serious problem. The same applies if you have multiple smaller cracks or cracks going across the ceiling and down the wall. In any of these situations, you should ask a professional to assess the damage.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Whether you can install or repair plaster yourself depends on the project's size and your comfort level with DIY projects. It's possible to handle small repairs on your own, but for larger projects like a room restoration or a full installation, it's often best to hire a local plaster professional. The final appearance, even coverage, and durability of the plaster depend heavily on proper wall preparation and application. If you are not 100% confident in your ability to achieve a professional result, letting an expert handle the job is a worthwhile investment.
