"I have a 90+ year old Chicago bungalow. Brian came out me out promptly for estimate. After speaking with Brian I could tell he knew about doing plaster work for an older house. No mud and tape job here. His worker (Sam) are great to work with. Had extensive work to all my ceilings and walls on 1st floor of house. Fixed all cracks in walls, all 22 of them !! Also fixed an arch way which was cracked all the way down to metal framing. Then had them paint the walls and ceilings. Can highly recommend them for any work. The job turned out fantastic. Could not be any happier."

"We had 40 yr old wallpaper to be removed & lots of cracks in the plaster. Another contractor told me he would not even take the job. Yoel & his crew are so experienced they did a beautiful job. My plaster walls now look like new. Victor can handle any challenge. They thoroughly cleaned up. Will be using them again for future projects. So glad Angi recommended them"

He is a hard worker and if I ever need help with any installation for my home he will be the first person I would call."

"A needed to fix the attic floor of my rental property, it was noisy even with the carpet, a friend recommended Dorian. I gave him a call, since I don’t live in the country and I told him what I wanted to be done, he took care of everything, he got me the exact floor I wanted, removed old carpet, fixed subfloor, installed new floor and new baseboards, I was very pleased with the job, i also ask him if he could paint it as well and he did an Excellent job! He was very professional and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend him."

FAQs for plaster service projects in Chicago, IL

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.
