"Nicholas was great! He came by early in the day and got right to work and was done in just a couple hours. He was professional but friendly while getting the work done, and my ceiling looks good now. Before and after pics:"

"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."

"Andrew Wells has been a gift from God for my dire situation. I have an extremely old house which needs extensive repairs, and through Home Advisor's recommendation I hired Andrew Wells to repair numerous holes in the soffit to prevent bats and squirrels from entering my attic. So far, he has done an incredible job! I am so impressed by his honesty and devotion and reasonable prices that I intend to hire him for future repairs/work. He truly is a blessing to the field of contracting and I am most grateful that I found him through Home Advisor. Thank you!!!"

"Oliver did a great job. He was very professional, extremely helpful, and he did terrific work. We had a lot of different pieces of work to be done - kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, tile flooring, new light fixtures, etc. and he handled them all. He was especially useful for us as we were remodeling our vacation home remotely and he took care of many of the details that we were unable to handle. I would definitely recommend him. I don't have photos yet, but can submit them later - it looks fantastic!"

"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

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.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Ensures structural integrity and aesthetic consistency with proper materials and techniques.

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.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.
