"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."

"I bought a Condo as is, it was in need of a lot of work. Antonio and Manuel did an amazing job. Painting, patching and plastering. The second bathroom ceiling was a disaster and when they were done, the entire place looked brand new. I recommend them highly. Excellent work, five stars"

"Experience quality plastering, LLC removed a tile ceiling in the living room, replaced it with a drywall ceiling with a flat finish (no texture or popcorn,) repaired plaster walls, reinstalled crown molding and repainted the living room and foyer. (ceilings, walls, doors and trim.) The ceiling looks very nice, the texture of the wall patches are a close but not exact match to the historic plaster finish but close enough that the repaired areas aren't noticeable when painted. They showed up on time when they said they would and worked diligently to finish the project in a timely manner. My only complaint is I wish the demo crew had done a better job of protecting the wood floor."

"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!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

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.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.
