"Duane did a fantastic job repairing drywall damage by basement flooding. He also finished drywall on a bathroom project that we had never finished. Duane provided an explanation of the work he would be doing and kept us updated on progress. He arrived promptly as scheduled, and quietly went about his work. This finished product was perfection. He even smoothed out some dings and scratches from years of moving furniture, etc. Duane left the area better than he found it, since it needed a thorough cleaning from the high water before he arrived. The finished walls are absolutely seamless."

"Can not say enough good things about this group of guys. Punctual, honest, hard working, and excellent painters. They recently completed a three day interior paint job for us. Everyday they arrived 10 minutes early and cleaned up before leaving. They covered up the area of the house they worked in each day before starting and did not get paint on anything for us. Dakota-one of the senior painters on the crew is very meticulous and did a great job cutting in all the corners and around the stairs. Axl, another painter on the crew, did great work for us painting the ceiling on the main level. Shiloh, the owner, who is a master painter would double check all the work each day to make sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. Before wrapping up the last day they vacuumed every room they worked in and wiped down dust from working on stress cracks. Just a terrific and honest contractor and from many past experiences not easy to find. Highly recommended and will surely use again in the future."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.
