"I needed kitchen ceiling and bathroom ceiling repairs done on an older home with plaster walls and ceilings. The job was done well, and it was finished ahead of schedule. It was estimated to take 3 days and was done in just 2. They isolated the kitchen and the bathroom from the rest of the house to keep the dust and debris contained. At the end, they thoroughly cleaned up. I appreciated that. I would hire them again to do more work on the house."

"Juan and his team were excellent! They did a great job repairing the drywall, and once painted, it was seamless with the existing drywall. Also, there was good communication throughout the process, and the space was kept clean and tidy. I highly recommend and plan to call GS Custom Remodels for my next project."

"These guys were Fantastic! We had to remodel my late father's house in order to put it on the market. It was an older house and needed a lot of updating. These guys got right on the job and stuck with us through the whole project. They even came back right away and fixed the things that the home inspector found. Hugo, Abel, Walter & Rene were all very personable and we felt good having them attend to our remodeling. Seems like there wasn't a whole lot they couldn't do, and if they couldn't do it, they usually knew someone who could. The prices were very reasonable and the work was good quality. Hugo knows a lot about what a Realtor will want when it comes to selling a house. He also knows a lot about what home inspectors will look for. I ended up following most of his suggestions, and the ones I didn't were still pretty good recommendations. It was an absolute pleasure working with these guys! I've used a lot of contractors in the past, and I can honestly say these guys were top notch!"

"When confronted with a crisis because of a copper plumbing burglary, Mr. Grady, of Grady's Painting, Plastering and Construction, willingly traveled many miles to come to my aid. Requesting only a $1.00 deposit against a $4,500.00 job, he masterfully reconstructed my nineteenth century lath and plaster hallway wall, also thoroughly compensating for a missing portion of a central stud unwittingly removed by a plumber! After his extensive search for appropriate composition and dimension of material, he replaced and replicated a section of my forty-year-old faux onyx tub surround with common white PVC sheet, tinted oil-based colors, glaze, paint brush, and a rag. His applied natural talents and superlative skills saved me thousands of dollars! On the basis of both professional conversation and knowledgeable observation, Mr. Grady possesses the intrinsic knowledge of old-world trades, the artistic capabilities, the problem=solving thought processes, and the personal work ethic to accomplish a broud scope of reconstruction and restoration."

"Isaias arrived on time and completed several projects in my home. He regrouted my bathroom shower tile floor, fixed a toilet, hung a floor mirror and painted a room in a few hours. He is professional and skilled. I highly recommend him for your home repairs. He cleaned up along the way and respected my home. The pricing was good too! I now have a handyman that I can trust ."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

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.

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.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.
