"Hired KO to re-plaster my dining room, living room, and front entry way walls and ceiling. Plasterers James and Luke and their team were awesome. They handled the job in 5 days and now the front half of my house looks amazing. When I was getting this quoted by other companies, I thought I was never going to be able to afford the work. But KO came in at an affordable price and did an awesome job! Definitely recommend to any one looking plaster repair work."

"First of all, Ron was very responsive, which is a rarity in today's contracting.  Second, he actually showed up to the site when he said he would, another rarity.  Once there, he made the water damaged ceiling and walls look like new, all for a fair price.  AND, just because he had his materials there, he took it upon himself to repair other cracks he saw in a nearby room - at no cost!  Beyond this basic repair, Ron provided insight on other more challenging problems I asked him about.  Definitely the guy to call if you have plaster or drywall problems.

"Exceptional job. I would hire them again. Actually I will be. I had a tight timeline and they totally worked with me to get in and get what I wanted done by the date I needed. The 2 man crew that did the work did a great job, circuitous and respectful of me and my home. They taped off and covered so dust did not get into the other rooms, they cleaned up nightly. Took their trash with them. They showed up everyday and completed the work in the estimated 2 weeks. I did call about painting my window sashes shut and they fixed it immediately. I also called about some light spots in the paint that I was not happy with and they came out and put another coat on no questions."

"Ben did a great job! We ran into some issues: there were 5 -yes 5- layers of old shingles, and flashing issues because of it. Ben is very honest and would highly recommend him.

"For the price, Richmond did a good job.  My only complaint would have been that they didn't remove the shutters prior to power washing, but the technician explained they didn't do that, rather they sprayed behind the shutters.  That is the reason for the B rating.  Otherwise, they did an excellent job for the price.  We have a lot of landscaping and they were unable to power wash close to the base of the house; however, they cleaned most of the algae off the siding.  Again, for the money it was a good job based on what we paid.

"We love the finished product but the process took much longer than it should have (9 months from initial meeting to finished project).  There was not a lot of communication during this long wait.  I know that some people will say that choosing a busy contractor assures you of someone good, but they seem to be a bit too busy."

FAQs for plaster service projects in Milwaukee, WI

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.
