"If you get Miguel as your patch guy then youâ re in great hands. Such a kind man. He was there on time, every day. We had quite the project going on so his promptness was appreciated. If youâ re inclined, heâ s great at working and chatting or heâ s good to be left on his own. I would recommend Patch Master to anybody! I was looking for plaster workers on Angieâ s List and they were the first on the list! Within 3 min of me putting my info down Kenzie contacted me, I sent photos of what needed repairs and I got a quote later (15 min later). Couldnâ t be more pleased."

"Miguel did an outstanding job and even though there were surprises for him (it's an old house), there were none for us - he finished in the timeframe he bid. We had question on the finish of the wood - Miguel made a special trip to bring us a sample. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome."

"We had an EXCELLENT experience with Ismerio Drywall. Humberto, in particular, was a great project manager. The office staff were very good and professional. As with most contractors there are "bumps along the way", but in the end ALL things were done to our expectations and they didn't stop until the job was done to our 100% satisfaction. I would highly recommend them. All the workers were kind and friendly and hardworking. They did: drywall, insulation and framing for us to include: mud, tape, and texture of all walls and ceilings. They helped us finish our 1800+ square foot basement and we plan to use them for any future projects."

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.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.

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.
