Drywall & plaster repair

Cracks, holes and old plaster made sound

From
$280
How long
Usually half a day to 2 days

Paint shows everything under it. A crack that has only been filled comes back, and a patch that hasn’t been feathered out shows as a halo in raking light.

We tape cracks that move, re-attach loose plaster instead of tearing it out, skim walls that are rough and sand with dust extraction. Water stains get a stain-blocking primer so they don’t bleed through the new paint.

Questions

Will the patch show?

Not when we're done. We feather every repair wide, skim where needed and prime it, so it sits flush with the wall under the paint.

Can you repair old horsehair plaster?

Yes. We re-attach loose plaster with plaster washers and adhesive rather than tearing it out, and skim over the top.
