"Nelson and his assistant from New England Plastering and Painting did an outstanding job repairing my ceiling in our living room. They had to remove damaged ceiling that was caused by water/sewerage leak. Then they had to install a large piece of drywall and plaster over it. Nelson and his partner did an awesome job feathering the plaster to make the drywall fit in seamlessly. Another great thing they did was to block off the area (with drop cloths and plastic) they were working in. This kept the work and debris area contained. As a result, no debris and dust went elsewhere. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with the work performed by New England Plastering and Painting. I will use them again and I highly recommend them to other potential customers."

"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

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

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

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
