Plaster Repair in NH

Weather, age or structural repairs can lead to damage or discoloration with ceilings, walls, etc. We pride ourselves in or ability to make it right without tearing it all apart!

Why Plaster Needs Repair

Over time, plaster can suffer from:

  • Hairline or wide cracks
  • Holes from nails, anchors, or fixtures
  • Water damage stains
  • Separation from lath (“delamination”)
  • Discoloration or patchy areas
  • Structural shifting causing damage

Left untreated, small issues can grow—leading to more serious wall/ceiling damage and aesthetic disruption.

What We Offer / Our Process:

We combine craftsmanship, care, and structural knowledge to restore plaster surfaces to a seamless, durable finish.

1. Detailed Assessment: We begin by carefully inspecting the damage: identifying causes (moisture, shifting, old lath failure) and mapping out the repair zone.

2. Stabilization & Preparation: If plaster is loose or detached, we resecure it (through pinning or rehanging). We remove damaged material only as needed, preserving as much original plaster as possible.

3. Repair & Rebuild: We patch, fill, and rebuild—layer by layer—to blend with the existing finish. Techniques include:

  • Skimming new plaster
  • Applying bond coats or mesh for reinforcement
  • Feathering transitions for invisible joins

4. Texture Matching / Finish Work: We match texture and finish so repaired areas integrate with surrounding surfaces—no awkward patches, no telltale “repairs.”

5. Quality Inspection & Walkthrough: We inspect under varied lighting, invite your input, and make adjustments to ensure you’re satisfied.

Plaster Repair FAQs

Will the plaster repairs be visible?

We work to match textures, tones, and finish so the repair blends in. In many cases, the repair is nearly imperceptible.

How long will plastering repair take?

It depends on the area and severity of damage. Small repairs might take a day; larger surface jobs might span a few days. We’ll give you a timeline up front.

Do you handle plaster replacement or just repairs?

Yes — if sections are beyond repair, we can rebuild that portion, tying it into the original plaster for cohesion.

Will the plaster crack again?

Proper preparation, reinforcement (mesh, backing, substrate stabilization), and matching methods reduce the risk. We stand by our work and correct issues during our warranty period.

Can you repair after water damage or leaks?

Absolutely. We handle moisture stains, soft plaster, and related damage. First we address the source (moisture infiltration) before restoring plaster.
