"Celso was quick to bid, win and start the job. His crew was courteous, clean and punctual. The job was comleted when promised. They are real artists. What was once an eye sore is now a statement. Had a slight issue months later and the next day after a call to Celso, problem fixed at no charge. I can't say enough about these folks. I have included before and after photos which says it all."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Emilio, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his service. He responded right away to our inquiry and came to us quickly. He gave us a reasonable price to build our gazebo and the work he did was top notch. Not only did he complete the gazebo, but he also was able to help build our tv console, which turned out great. Emilio does it all- whether it’s electrical work, building or general home handyman tasks, he has the skill to tackle any job with confidence. The next day we had an issue with our locks, and without hesitation, Emilio came back right away to fix it. His responsiveness, expertise and dedication to getting things done right are impressive. Emilio is respectful, trustworthy and truly cares about providing excellent service. We strongly recommend him to anyone needing services!"

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. 

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

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.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

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.
