Plaster Repair

Tips from Real-Estate-Agents.com

Although plaster can be extremely durable, stress cracks can come from movement in the framing of the house. Holes are generally caused by impacts or water. Over time, plaster walls and ceilings may develop stress-cracks. A professional plasterer has the specific materials and techniques needed to repair these cracks, based on the particular condition of the damage. An expert can also advise on stripping paint from plaster walls and ensuring that the new paint adheres to the surface.

Decorative plaster in historic or period homes may seem beyond repair when in fact a skilled plasterer, trained in the use of special tools, may be able to save it.

Damage: It's a good idea to let your service professional know about specific damage to help him assess your costs and what materials and tools he'll need to make the repair.
