"John repaired stucco cracks around some windows and corners. He also cleaned out a long expansion joint and then painted some large wall areas with elastomeric paint. He is a very experienced pro, is meticulous about his work and is one of the best contractors I have used, especially in relation to keeping his client informed about his planned work and schedule. His price was competitive, he voluntarily did some extras and was all-around a very courteous gentleman to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again."

"Using Jyra Home Solutions was an ideal customer service experience.  The price was very reasonable, the scheduling was done quickly, and the completed work was flawless.  I felt very comfortable with the workers in my home, as they were extremely polite and courteous.  When they completed the job, the room they worked in was left in perfect condition, and not one item was left behind.
I would highly recommend this company for anyone in need of repair work for your house.  The owner of the company even stopped by to make sure I was happy with the finished product.  I will certainly use Jyra the next time my home needs a repair or even a remodel.  Great company!

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

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.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type 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.

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.
