"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

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.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Regular inspections and cleaning to prevent moisture or pest issues.

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

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.
