Customers say: Quick response

"Mike is a true professional. Very nice guy, as well. After we had part of our ceiling collapse, he walked in one day, spent about 15 min, eyeballed the damage, and said I'll be back in 3 days, after he finished another job. He showed up 3 days later, and within 5 hours, the job was completed. They cleaned up the job afterwards as well. This is the guy you want to do plastering."

"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!"

"I highly recommend LJK Drwall to anyone looking for any drywall and plaster work. Roberto and his team showed up on time and kept me informed of progress. The quality of workmanship is top notch. We had extensive areas in need of drywall repair and replacement after having our home replumbed due to a leak from Quest water supply lines. Due to the outstanding work of LJK Drywall you literally cannot tell there was ever any damage."

"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."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Many services include repainting to match the existing surface. Confirm with your provider.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

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.

It depends on the construction of your wall. Most handypeople can fix small holes in drywall. If your wall is plaster or brick, more significant damage may require a drywall contractor or a mason. Hiring a handyperson costs less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.
