"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

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

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.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.
