Plaster & Drywall Repairs

Cracks, holes and water damage repaired and blended into the wall.

Plaster & Drywall Repairs

Repairs range from a small hole to a ceiling section after a leak. The aim is the same each time: make the repair structurally sound, then blend it so the patch does not stand out once the wall is painted.

What is included

  • Cutting back loose or failed material
  • Backing and patching with the right board or plaster
  • Taping, coating and feathering into the surrounding wall
  • Texture matching where an existing texture is present
  • Protection of the room and clean up

When it is used

  • Cracks over doors, windows and along ceilings
  • Water damage after a leak has been fixed
  • Holes from removed fixtures, shelving or access work

What to send for an estimate

  • Clear photos of each damaged area, plus one wider shot of the room
  • Rough size of the damage
  • Whether the cause of any water damage has been repaired
  • The town and state of the project

Questions

Can a repair be invisible?

A well blended repair usually disappears once painted, though very glossy paint and strong side light are the hardest conditions.

Do you paint the repair?

Repairs are left ready for paint. Painting is discussed case by case.

Do you repair old horsehair plaster?

Older plaster is common in this region and is assessed before the estimate so the right repair method is used.
