Q: Is repainting part of the repair process for plaster surfaces?

• <div><p>Many services include repainting to match the existing surface. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Do you sand plaster wet or dry?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.</p></div>

Q: How do pros address common wall issues like cracks or bulging?

• <div><p>Professionals diagnose underlying causes, such as structural shifts or moisture problems, and apply appropriate solutions like reinforcement, patching, or sealing. These measures restore wall integrity and prevent recurrence, ensuring long-term stability.</p></div>

Q: How long does plastering last?

• <div><p>Plastering lasts for around <b>15 to 20 years</b> without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime&mdash;sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between <b>$1 and $3 per square foot</b>, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between <b>$0.90 and $1.30 per square foot</b>, which may serve you better in the long run.</p></div>

Q: Can I use spackle on plaster walls?

• <div><p>Only use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spackle-vs-putty.htm">spackle on plaster walls</a> when the imperfection is small. It&rsquo;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&rsquo;t risk further damage.</p></div>
