"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

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.

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.

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.

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.
