"I had a plaster ceiling cracking and about to fall. Matt gave me a good priced and explained what they would do. He and Eddie did fantastic work and I have a nice, smooth ceiling. We ran into an electrical problem but they had another electrician colleague come and they took care of it! Clean up was great and they even got my crown molding back up! Great work!"

"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

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, 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 $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.
