"Hired KO to re-plaster my dining room, living room, and front entry way walls and ceiling. Plasterers James and Luke and their team were awesome. They handled the job in 5 days and now the front half of my house looks amazing. When I was getting this quoted by other companies, I thought I was never going to be able to afford the work. But KO came in at an affordable price and did an awesome job! Definitely recommend to any one looking plaster repair work."

"We own an 86 year old house.Our living room ceiling, 30 X 15 feet, had for some
time needed significant plaster repair. By the time we hired Mudslingers, the
plaster was threatening to separate in large chunks from the wood lathe and
fall to the wood floors and onto the piano.
Chris and his workers protected the floors with backer board, taped closed all doorways with plastic
and proceeded to remove all of the plaster. This was a somewhat complicated job
in that we asked that the ceiling coves surrounding the entire room be
preserved and that the final applied texture matches the dining room ceiling.
Chris was able to leave the coves unharmed and installed drywall over the
remaining lathe and up to the cove. He blended the new drywall with the coves. A
plaster texture was applied to match the adjacent dining room.
 Unfortunately when the plastering was finished it did not match the dining room. And here is why we
feel compelled to write this review. We informed Chris that the texturing would have to be completely redone so that it matched the dining room exactly. Chris was disappointed but got to work. He said, ?I just want you to be happy
with my work?. He and his crew sanded off all of the previously done work.
Chris used a completely different technique and was able to match the texture
of the dining room ceiling! In addition, Chris repaired two wall cracks and
repainted the entire living room without additional charge. The backer board
and plastic protectors were removed and the crew washed the entire room down:
floors, baseboards, and window trim. Our living room was left in pristine
condition.
We interviewed 3 other contractors prior to Mudslinger's who said our job was too
large and complicated and turned us down. Mudslinger?s provided a
professionally prepared contract and worked from September 21st-October 13th,2015.
 
Businesses are people. The true measure of a business can be found in how a less than acceptable result is
managed by that business. We are completely satisfied with Mudslinger?s work
and more importantly how they met our expectations. It is because of the
quality of his work and the fact that Mudslingers honored our contract that we recommend
Mudslingers and would hire Chris again.

"The company was quick to respond and the work on our ceiling was done quickly and efficiently without making a mess that we would have had to clean up. The wallboard was placed and plastered on day 1, the sanding and painting was done on day 2. We are very pleased with the look of our new ceiling! I will definitely be calling them again for further projects as we move on to the walls in a different room of our house."

"Great! They spent 2 days repairing a poor roofing job that lead to our leaking and a several nests of wasps invading house. They also did a great job cleaning our gutters this spring.

They will be returning next spring for another issue we need addressed.

We were very happy with this company, Ben is very easy to talk with.

"Geronimo Plaster was awesome to work with. Every step of the process was excellent, from the very first contact on the phone to the completion of the work Geronimo Plaster was a true professional. Geronimo Plaster has unbeatable prices, free estimates and they do top-notch work. I had a large-sized hole in my bathroom ceiling and when Geronimo Plaster got done with the work my ceiling looked new. You couldn’t even tell that I ever had a hole in my ceiling. Most of the time when people repair drywall, afterwards you can see lines and crevices where the work was done. Not with Geronimo Plaster! My ceiling was smooth and looked like new when he was finished with the job. Also, you don’t have to worry about cleaning up anything afterwards because they did a good job of that as well. Geronimo Plaster came in and knocked the job out without playing around. Some companies milk the job so they can charge you for more hours. Not Geronimo Plaster. They were all business no games. Geronimo Plaster is trustworthy, reliable and professional. If anyone needs any home repair or remodeling work done I can say from my own personal experience with Geronimo Plaster that you can hire them with peace, knowing that the job is in good hands."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

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.
