"Malcolm was on time, did exactly what I needed, even did some extra gate repair that I hadn't noticed and cleaned up everything before leaving. Rate was more than reasonable since it was over 90 degrees outside!"

"The work was great quality when completed. It was a small patch in the ceiling where a pipe had broken, an area of about 2 feet by 1 1/2 ft. I spoke with the company initially on Oct 9, but due to a busy schedule and some unfortunate van problems, it ended up being 2 weeks before the work could be done. But great work when it was!!"

"I actually just called to get an idea of how to fix my dryer. I already had it apart and had eliminated a couple possible issues. Turns out they were on their way back from a meeting elsewhere, so they didn't have their attire or equipment, but they were willing to come check it out. They stayed for about 2 hours trying to figure it out. Since they didn't really replace any parts and could not actually fully repair it, they didn't charge for their time or service. They did tell me which part I needed to order and where it needs to be hooked up. These guys were a huge help and super friendly and professional. I learned a lot from their time here. I would totally consider working with them if I had a project I needed help with."

"I had a fantastic experience with Stud Enterprises . From start to finish, they were incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every step of the process. Their attention to detail was impressive, and I felt fully informed throughout the project. The final result exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with my newly finished basement. I highly recommend their services!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

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’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.

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.

There are several warning signs that a ceiling crack is connected to a larger issue. For starters, if the crack is wider than 1/8 inch or longer than 12 inches, you might have a more serious problem. The same applies if you have multiple smaller cracks or cracks going across the ceiling and down the wall. In any of these situations, you should ask a professional to assess the damage.
