"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

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

Whether you can install or repair plaster yourself depends on the project's size and your comfort level with DIY projects. It's possible to handle small repairs on your own, but for larger projects like a room restoration or a full installation, it's often best to hire a local plaster professional. The final appearance, even coverage, and durability of the plaster depend heavily on proper wall preparation and application. If you are not 100% confident in your ability to achieve a professional result, letting an expert handle the job is a worthwhile investment.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.
