How do I know if my plaster needs replacing?

• <div><p>Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.</p></div>

Can a handyperson fix a hole in the wall?

• <div><p>It depends on the construction of your wall. Most handypeople can fix small holes in drywall. If your wall is plaster or brick, more significant damage may require a drywall contractor or a mason. Hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-handyman-prices.htm">handyperson costs</a> less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of plastering?

• <div><p>Plastering comes at a higher cost than installing drywall, but it also provides some pretty enticing benefits. First, plaster usually lasts longer than drywall, so long-term costs will usually be lower. Second, plaster is a highly insulative material, so it might help make your living area feel more comfortable and keep your heating and cooling costs lower, especially in the summer and winter. Finally, plastering is naturally textured, so it helps hide imperfections and often adds warmth to your home that drywall won&rsquo;t.</p></div>

Q: Will plaster dry out on its own after a leak?

• <div><p>Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.</p></div>

Q: How do I match the wall texture after making repairs?

• <div><p>It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-texture-tips-and-trends.htm">drywall texture type</a> when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting. </p></div>
