Q: Can I repair plaster myself?

• <div><p>While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.</p></div>

Q: What is the price range for fixing damaged plaster?

• <div><p>Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.</p></div>

Q: Why are my walls cracking so much?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-inspect-your-foundation.htm">foundation inspected</a>, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue. </p></div>

Q: What causes plaster damage?

• <div><p>Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.</p></div>

Q: Can you mix plaster types?

• <div><p>You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.</p><p>Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.</p></div>

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"They were great with discussing what I needed done. They showed up on time on scheduled day and started prepping the area for repair. Once the job was completed, they cleaned up after themselves, including mopping the wood floor so there would be no drywall dust. Great contractor and would hire again without question. Highly recommend!"

"Cougar Development did an excellent job creating a living space out of an addition to a home built in 1918. The drywall work was excellent as was the placing of needed electrical outlets and ceiling fan/lighting. Closet space is extremely hard to come by in our neighborhood and Cougar was able to build a 30 sq ft closet that our growing family is able to take advantage of. This room was just a storage space and is now a usable living area after Cougar was done with it. The quality of work for the price I paid was amazing! I have already recommended Cougar to those in my neighborhood and will continue to do so!"
