"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."

"Michael did a fantastic job with dry wall repair. He also fixed a busted door jam with an ingenious fix vs a high cost repair/replacement. He is very professional and shows up on time. He communicates in a timely fashion and always tells you what is needed to fix the problem. His pricing is very fair and reasonable. I would recommend Michael and will hire him for additional jobs in the future."

"Hatalowich Home Improvement stained my log cabin and did some deck/banister repairs. The work performed was outstanding and second to none. Barron provided excellent service, communicated with me throughout the job, made the job his priority until finished, and was a real professional to work with. His honesty and dedication to every detail of the job is something rarely seen today. I would recommend Hatalowich Home Improvement for any needs."

"I dealt directly with the owners on this project. They were polite and on time for the estimate,we agreed on a price ,shook hands and decided the next day they could get here and get it done.. They had time before the day ended so they came back that same day and completed the roof repair ...seamlessly (as close as professionally possible). The guys on the roof did good job and afterward cleaned up any debris.. Tonight I'm very pleased. 10 outta 10 in my book"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

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.
