"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

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.

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.

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.
