"Alejandro was fabulous! If you need a painter for any interior work, I highly recommend this young man. He was on time. He did a beautiful job and he cleaned up everything when he left. There was absolutely no mess whatsoever. He painted multiple rooms in my home and I am extremely satisfied. He worked very hard to get everything done the way that I wanted it. Very reasonably priced as well. Definitely hire him!"

"Shawn was a dream to work with. He easily took the jobs in hand (repairing a hole in the wall) and took on other jobs I threw at him: repainting front & back porches, a piece of popcorn ceiling 16 feet up, as well as touching up little imperfections all over. He did an excellent job & is so personable and interesting I'll surely hire him again."

"As advertised on Taylor Locklear Drywall’s website, they get five stars in every category! We needed a small patch repair in our ceiling and Taylor himself provided the repair. He showed up on time, [pun intended] made a seamless repair, left the workspace clean and ready for my wife to paint. The price as reasonable, too."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

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.

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.

With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.

However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.
