"I had several different areas of home repairs that needed immediate attention. I reached out to Otero Remodeling. Hosea came to my home the very next day to assess the areas that needed repairing. Otero Remodeling gave me a very affordable quote and the work was outstanding. I have had Otero Remodeling out to my home several times and each time the work was done professionally. Hosea was always kind, patient, and honest. Otero Remodeling Services will always be my only choice for home repairs!!!"

"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."

"We had a very large hole in our bedroom wall where a large flatscreen tv had pulled away from the wall. The wall was plaster and other contractors wanted to rip the entire wall out and put drywall up. I finally found Steve and he was professional reasonably priced and his work was perfect. I would recommend him to anyone looking for plaster repair."

"Trinh Brothers remodeled my entire basement, kitchen bathroom, installed flooring in every room of my home, built a roof for my patio, installed new doors, painted every room, etc. etc. They were amazing. So talented and the nicest people I've ever done business with. They worked almost 10 hour days for two months and went above and beyond for me. Highly recommend them."

"Carlos and his team are committed to doing an excellent job for you. They take extra care in the prep work which is so important for a good and lasting paint job and is so often ignored or skipped by many painters. I have a 100+ year old home which is even more challenging. I can always count on being happy when they are finished, and Carlos takes special care to ensure that happiness. He has painted both interior and exterior for me for many years, first through another company and now on his own."

"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."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

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.
