"Yes, see before and after photos of one of the problem areas. Excellent work done expeditiously, and Moyses Amador and his helper were on time, worked hard, were careful of the environment around them, and they cleaned up after themselves when the project was over. I had them paint a bathroom with ceiling repairs, the kitchen which also had cracks and repairs as well as two skylights, and a hallway that had some plaster repairs."

"PatchMaster Northern Virginia was amazing! I had drywall damage from a plumbing repair, and they scheduled me quickly. The technician was on time, professional, and left the wall looking like it had never been touched. I couldn’t believe how smooth the finish was—highly recommend!"

"The work started on the date agreed with power washing of the entire house and continued with two coats of paint on most surfaces. A series of repair needs in wooden structures were identified during that work, and we added those items to the project. The team, lead by the able and cheerful Mr. Dimas, worked efficiently and professionally for several days, only interrupted by inclement weather. We did a final walk-around to ensure that everything had been taken care of. There were minor issues in the communication with the office, but they were matters easily resolved. On the whole, a very positive experience, and I have already decided to go ahead with another project using the same firm."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

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.

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.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.
