Plaster Wall Repairs
We manage plaster wall repair jobs from preparation to cleaning. When preparing for any job we work with the homeowners to identify the different types of damage in the plaster. Although plaster is a highly durable compound, it can degrade through the years. Many people turn to plaster repair for cracks or holes rather than dents. When working with cracks or holes, we always start with a smooth surface. Boston Drywall Pros only sends out the best plaster contractors for repair jobs.
Removing loose bits of plaster, or areas that are flaking is a delicate procedure. Ideally, a contractor will only remove the damaged plaster and leave all undamaged plaster intact. It’s also critical from this stage to keep the environment clean. After scraping away, or using a cold chisel, the area should have the lath exposed.
When mixing new plaster, the contractor will aim to create a mix that resembles the plaster that is already on the wall. Then applying the plaster mix over the damaged area, the contractor will work in thin layers. Only a professional plasterer will be able to blend the new plaster into the existing wall seamlessly.
Ceiling Plaster Repair Services
Plaster ceilings are exquisite, give a home a particular level of elegance, and are not usually prone to damage. But, when damage does happen, you notice a crack or chipping, it’s important to call a professional right away. When repairing small cracks in plaster, you will start by widening the crack and blowing out the plaster dust. Afterward, a contractor will use short strips of fiberglass mesh tape. This tape will help cover any grooves and help the new plaster mix blend with the existing ceiling. With a joint setting compound, the plaster contractor will work with small tools to feather the edges and create an invisible transition to the new plaster. Afterward, the contractor will set up the area so the ceiling can dry undisturbed.
