"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."

"Everything went wonderfully with this company.  They were very professional, listened to exactly what my problem was, and explained to me how they were going to diagnose the problem and/or solve it before doing any actual work.  Once they started, the team (three people came) worked together like a well-oiled machine.  One was in the room with diagnostics, one was at the fuse box looking for possible problems there, and the third went into the crawlspace beneath our house to look at the physical wiring.  Once the problem was found (there was a faulty wire beneath the house that had come loose from the junction box), it was fixed and tested within minutes and another full diagnostic was done to make sure there were no other possible issues.  They cleaned up after themselves very neatly.  They also replaced the light switch with a dimmer switch at no extra cost!  Well within my budget, and came in even lower than their original (FREE) estimate!  I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the Bergen County area.

"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

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.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

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.
