"We looked at a few options for fixing dry and plaster cracks in our home - the patch boys were the cheapest. Very responsive over phone and text. Had a few issues come up after the first fix, but they were quick in coming back to ensure all areas were taken care of. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"Damarcus did an excellent job - very professional and quickly. We needed plastering done with short notice and Demarcus came out to the house to assess the job and returned later that evening to plaster the walls. Demarcus was true to his word and professional in all respects. I would not hesitate to hire him again in the future!"

"Mike and his team were amazing. They instantly put me at ease and I knew I was in good hands. Being a single mother that knows nothing about plumbing and repairs, I had no problem letting Mike take the lead on doing the best thing for my children and I! I put Mike's company in my phone as I am already making a list of what I need done next! No need to look further as he does it all for a reasonable price and I feel safe with them in my home and around my children!"

"Purchased a deal off of Angie's list for 3 hours of drywall service. Steve came in and repaired the drywall where I had a busted pipe in wall replaced. He also patched three small drywall holes left from previous owner.  Steve did a superior job and I would use again in the future.

"Pedro has exemplary customer service skills! He called me immediately after getting the request for a quote. They came out the next day and scheduled my repair to be done in two days. The price was very reasonable, we had a pretty sizable hole repaired in our ceiling. The day of the job they arrived on time, worked very quickly and did a fantastic job cleaning up! I would HIGHLY recommend them!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

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.
