"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 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."

"I had Distinctive Painting paint to entire upstairs of my home. The job consist of all the ceilings, walls, trim, doors, baseboard and minor dry wall repair. Mario did a fantastic job on the trim, I was surprised he could paint that close to our hardwood floors and carpets without touching any of them. He correct all the cracks and repaired all screw holes in the drywall and the walls and ceiling looks great. The price was comparable to other quotes that I got. Overall my wife and I were very pleased with his work and will use again."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

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.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.
