"Diego and his crew are amazing! Punctual, fair price and just a great job all around. I even had other contractors come through who commented on what a great job they did. At one point we were on a very tight timeline and needed the remaining plaster installed before the floors went in. Diego’s crew worked late on a Saturday to make sure it was done. Simply could not have stayed on schedule without him."

"I had hired Richard's company to install a new fan in our bathroom.  They installed the fan but chipped the plaster around the edge of the fan and then left the plaster on the floor covering it with the bathmats.  I didn't intend to use NE Renovations again, but decided that all of the glowing recommendations from Angie's List must not be wrong.  I contacted Richard to install a new kitchen faucet the I had purchased. I told him about the plaster issue.  He came and installed my faucet when he said he would.  Several weeks later I emailed him to ask when he was going to send the invoice and he told me that he was not going to charge me because of the previous issue.  This kind of customer service is hard to find these days."

"Daniel is a consummate professional! He is also a masterful woodworker. His artistry is superb. We had a situation where we moved into a new house, and there was a huge awkwardly shaped step/platform 23 feet long and 5-9 feet wide) in the middle of what we wanted to be the dining room . We wanted that step removed but we needed to save the wood from the step in order to make it match with the rest of the wood flooring. Daniel gently and respectfully removed the wood and the step and was able to save all the wood and then rebuild it into and match the rest of the wood floor. He succeeded brilliantly! You can not even tell that there was a step there now.! What not only are thrilled with the results but, we were equally impressed with Daniels work ethic. He is so incredibly neat and tidy. He built a kind of plastic room around where he was working so that the dust and residue of the wood working/flooring would not spread anywhere else in our home. He was so incredibly respectful of us and our house. Daniel is very easy to chat with and give direction to. He is also excellent at communicating the process of what has to be done and what he is going to do. I had never had work done in my home prior to this, so I was concerned with how much of a disruption removing that step would be. Daniel changed my thinking. He was not a disruption at all. He is very focused on his work and does not impede or infringe upon the rest of the workings of the household in any way. He was always on time and always communicated with me as to when he would be finishing up at the end of the day.. I highly highly recommend this very talented, skilled man.."

"Much of the work was done in anticipation of the arrival of a new range/oven unit. It was functionally correct, but the tall outlet 'box' prevented ideal placement of the range/oven. Infinity Solutions returned to make small adjustments. We're delighted with the final result and with knowing who we're going to call next time."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.

However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.

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.

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

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.
