"We had 2 ceilings repaired by Ferraz Plastering and they came out great. The first ceiling has new skylights and the skylight installers didn’t do an even job of installing the new blueboard. Erick and team reinforced the existing drywall, primed the whole surface, and put plaster over the whole thing to make it perfectly smooth. The second ceiling had significant cracks so Erick and team put a new layer of blueboard and plastered over to create a smooth finish. Our place is old and nothing is square/level so they did a great job of evening it out. Thanks!"

"I needed a professional opinion from a plasterer to evaluate a poor plastering job done in my home. Colin was professional, responsive and prompt with his assistance. Colin is a man of his word who follows thru with his promises. I will be hiring Colin to finish plastering work that was not part of the initial work done in my home."

"Con was prompt in responding to my call and came the next day to give an estimate on ceiling and wall repairs which covered two floors. Throughout the process, Con was very professional and responsive. He laid down paper and plastic sheeting to protect everything and removed all debris afterward. I would definitely hire Con again for future plastering needs."

"I hired Bertie to repair some ceilings in my kitchen, living room, and bathroom. He did a really nice job and left the house tidy when it was all said and done. He was responsive to my calls, and very friendly and professional. The work looks great and I've already recommended him to a friend. He is definitely a plaster guy I'd call in the future."

FAQs for plaster service projects in Boston, MA

Professionals plastering contractors begin by prepping the project area and mixing the dry plaster with water. They wet their tools to prevent sticking and apply the plaster onto the wall. After smoothing out the first coat, they apply a thinner second coat, continuing to smooth the wall until it's even.

You can plaster or skim coat over old plaster if it's still in good condition. Applying a new coat over the old one works best for small cracks or minor repairs. If your plaster is in poor shape, consider having your pro remove the old plaster before installing new plaster.

Plaster can crack over time due to structural settling or minor shifts within the wall. When cracks appear, they must be addressed immediately to maintain the integrity of the wall. A skilled plaster repair professional should evaluate the crack, perform the necessary repairs, and inspect for any underlying issues such as foundation movement or damaged lath. This proactive repair not only preserves your wall’s appearance but also prevents larger future problems.

Plaster drying and curing are critical aspects of any project. Plaster dries to the touch within one to four hours after application, but full curing takes several days up to two weeks. Complete curing ensures the plaster hardens completely, safeguarding against future damage and guaranteeing a flawless finish before painting or adding texture. Extra layers or a thicker application extend the overall curing period, so careful planning around your project timeline is essential.

Painting over plaster is definitely possible when proper preparation is followed. The plaster must be entirely cured, and any cracks or imperfections must be repaired immediately before painting. A high-quality primer is required to ensure excellent paint adhesion, and applying a durable latex paint with a satin finish guarantees a resilient and smooth surface. These steps maintain the wall’s beauty and longevity.
