"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.

"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

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

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.

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.

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.

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.
