"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!"

"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

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

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.

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.

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.

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.
