"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."

"Jorge Lazo and his crew came in and painted 5 bedrooms, our master bathroom plus a large closet, ALL IN ONE DAY. They were punctual, in fact they were a little early, which is always very nice.  They were professional and very tidy. Jorge and his team did a great job in our home and I will definitely use them again when we paint the outside of our house. If you are looking for a painter who is reasonably priced, professional, punctual and very good at what he does, then I highly recommend Jorge Lazo.

"Nathaniel did an AMAZING job. I had several large areas on an older textured ceiling that had been VERY POORLY repaired. This man worked TRUE MAGIC. Every day felt like Christmas morning when I could see the progress he made. My ceilings are no longer an eye sore and are nearly PERFECT! Thank you."

"The overall experience was exceptional. Luis meet with my wife and I and did a walk thru of the property and provided us with an estimate within an hour of the walk-thru. I already had heard excellent things about his company from numerous co-workers who had FDC paint their home. I truly feel like we got an extreme value in terms of the service we received for the price. Since our house was a new build, we had a number of cracks and nail pops associated with the home settling. Also, entire house to include walls ceiling and trim was a blah beige. Needless to say, FDC had their work cut out for them. Luis and his team skimmed and sanded all these areas and repaired the drywall making the necessary repairs as part of their prep work. Once painting had begun, he provided a daily up date on the project and sent pictures. We meet on numerous occasions to go over things and I was blown away by he and his crews attention to detail. He not only meet the deadline but was able to get the whole house done a day early. He and his team treated our home like it was their own. Not a single corner was cut and he went above and beyond to make the house perfect. I recommend Luis and FDC Proffesional Painting to anyone who is looking to transform their home and eliminate all stress. Don't waste your time calling multiple painters to get estimates so you can haggle pricing. Just call Luis and he will work with you to meet your needs at your budget. Additionally, all work is backed by a 3 year warranty so if there are any issues or our scratch a wall moving in he and his team will come back and make touch ups or repairs free of charge. My wife and I plan to have FDC come back in the winter to paint our finished basement."

We purchased a special of 4 hours of painting for $280. We had a small area of repir on our DR ceiling and on one DR wall. We provided the paint. Small projects are the worst to schedule since no one really wants to do them. the special seemed like the perfect solution for us. Alex contacted us a day after we made the purchase and was able to schedule this work prior to Thanksgiving. They sanded the areas that had been repaired, did a coat of primer and painted the small area on the ceiling. They painted the area on the wall and then went ahead and painted the rest of that single wall so the paint would match.

2 guys worked for 4 hours on this project. They were very neat and careful to cover areas with drop cloths. they had to sand reapir areas so there was a fair amount of drywall dust but, that is to be expected.

At some point we will need someone to come back out and paint the entire ceiling so there is a nice match in paint. The coupon would not cover that extra work.

Very friendly people. They did not charge us for the primer they used. We purchased the rest of the paint ourselves.

"We used CRS Painting previously to paint a powder room and were very pleased with that work (reflected in an earlier review on Angie's List).  We hired them to come back this August to do the work described above.  Once again, they did an excellent job.  Gerardo and his crew are prompt, courteous, professional and efficient.  They cover flooring, carpets and other areas before they start painting to ensure that these items remain clean.  They work quickly and, to the extent possible, are not very intrusive - they limit themselves to their work area and don't use other areas (e.g. wash basin in basement) without first asking permission. The job went off without a hitch except that, once the paint dried, we were able to see a faint line in the paint on one wall.  Gerardo arranged to come out one afternoon after I came home from work to take a look.  He brought another crew member with him and, after looking at the wall, decided the best way to handle the problem was to repaint the entire wall - which they did that afternoon/evening.  This resolved the problem and he never asked for additional money. We were very impressed with his work and the company.  Gerardo handles the field work and Valerie handles appointments, billing, etc.  We will use them again and we recommend them to anyone who needs a painting contractor.

"The building is 3 story wood frame located in the Leesburg historical district. After scraping the wood and prepping for painting, it was discovered that some of the trim had to be repaired. All repairs were made and I am very happy with the entire job which was done at a very reasonable price. I will have Rick paint my house later this year."

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

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.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

There are several warning signs that a ceiling crack is connected to a larger issue. For starters, if the crack is wider than 1/8 inch or longer than 12 inches, you might have a more serious problem. The same applies if you have multiple smaller cracks or cracks going across the ceiling and down the wall. In any of these situations, you should ask a professional to assess the damage.
