"Matt repaired a few areas of drywall in our ceiling that had been damaged by a leak and along the edges of some walls. He arrived on time, every time. The care he took with keeping the dust and debris down was outstanding. His repair looked excellent as well. I wouldn’t hesitate calling him again."

"Here are some before and after picture of my damaged ceiling. The guys fixed the ceiling, which is still in progress. Fixed the load bearing entrance between the living room and kitchen. Put in recess lights, a dimmer switch and replaced the electrical wires in my living room which were about 50 years old. This is still a work in progress, but the guys are doing a terrific job"

"Great experience. Matt and his helper Elvis were very sweet and got the job done far quicker than I expected. Matt does excellent drywall finishing. Honest and thorough. Made every effort to please us. Not the most prompt fellows I've ever met but certainly worked hard and got the job done.

"During some very severe weather where everyone was having water pipes bursting, etc, Scott came to our aid asap. He found 14 breaks in our water line, and several other things that popped up while repairing those. He was super nice, as was his help. He will be doing all of our future plumbing work--2 bathrooms to be reworked. His work and character are above reproach."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.
