"I had old horsehair plaster walls that had holes in them plus a crack plus a cutout where the plumber had to fix a leak. Kyle and his crew did an awesome job of fixing the holes and cutout and crack in the original plaster. They were here on time and left my house cleaner than what they found it. Now itâ s time to paint once the plaster dries. Thanks Wilson Plastering!!"

"Nelson and his assistant were excellent. They repaired several holes that an electrician had left in my bathroom wall drywall. They were efficient and left the walls with nice smooth surfaces and cleaned up when the job was done. I highly recommend NE Plastering and Painting!"

"We contacted Distinctive Painting because we were having issues painting a ceiling in our house. Turns out the plaster had calcimine and that's why the latex paint wouldn't stick. Mario contacted us back and even though they didn't perform the service, Mario told us exactly what to do and which materials to use to be able to do the job. We were happy to do it (it was only a ceiling...), but his information was crucial. I will also say that I contacted five other painting contractors, left messages, but no other company got back to us. If we ever need a bigger job, we will certainly contact Distinctive Painting!

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

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.
