"I am a retired Naval Officer who has handled many construction projects. I have learned from my experience to pay close attention to the smallest detail. I was contacted within two hours of posting my requirements on ANJI and Francisco showed up the next day to quote my project. My project was a complete interior paint job of my house to include replacing all taped joints and all imperfections in the walls. C & C Drywall Group showed up the next day started the project and ended on time. My home interior is now perfect. I highly recommend this company. Francisco and his team are absolutely AMAZING!"

"Very knowledgeable in many areas, decided to use stronger chemicals than available to the public to clear galvanized pipes rather than replacing them for now, lower cost, etc. Got the job done--water drains quickly now instead of sitting in sink for 10 minutes. Non-intimidating and explains what he is doing and why."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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. 

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

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.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.
