"We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable person to repair our ceiling from a water leak. He found the source and repaired a leak in the roof as well as the ceiling. We are very pleased with his work. He is very easy to talk with and is very trustworthy. We will be using his services again in the near future. Thanks again, Scott. Bobby and Elaine Emmert."

"Don and his son, Eric, came in and took out the drywall in one day.  After MasterDry finished they came back in promptly and repaired the walls to perfection.  They even repaired a flawed area of drywall over the circuit box that had nothing to do with this job but the shoddy work done by someone else was obviously bothering them enough to fix it. They pay attention to detail.  Afterwards, I asked if they would replace three drop ceilings in the same area.  They are very efficient workers and cleaned up great.  I was very pleased with how it turned out.  Don't waste your time calling anyone else!  Don and Eric are your guys for drywall!

"These gentlemen did everything I asked them to do an even more. They cut down and trimmed trees. They also did yard work. I was very pleasantly surprised to find they can did carpentry work. I had them hang outdoor lights and various things in my house. They built boxes For poles on my porch that turned out great. To my amazement they were able to cement and fix an outside concrete wall. I will be calling them again in the future. I highly recommend themð"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.

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.

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.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.
