Plaster Wall Repair Cost
The cost of repairing plaster walls is often assumed to be highly expensive, but realistically it is cheaper to hire us for plaster repair than replacing plaster with drywall. Fixing small cracks in plaster is a nice simple repair, which doesn’t cost as much as many assume. The cost to repair hole in a plaster wall is dependent on how extensive the damage is, is the lath damaged, did the hole cause small cracks in plaster, is the hole just a small amount of damage? Let the handymen at Columbus Home Heroes fix your plaster walls at an affordable cost.
Don’t fall for replacing plaster with drywall, as many drywall companies advise; as the home loses some of it’s unique character, it loses some of it’s historical charm, and the cost to replace plaster with drywall is actually way more expensive than plaster wall repair cost. Even worse is when local drywall companies advise to cover plaster walls in drywall, which not only makes the room smaller, but also results in losing all the historical trim that is part of the home’s charm.

Q: My plaster wall is cracked, can it be repaired without removing all the plaster?
A: Usually the answer is yes, it is as simple as relieving the pressure and patching the wall properly. If the cracks are from serious wall damage it may require larger removal of plaster and patching/repairing. The only way to truly know the extent of issues is to have them reviewed.
Q: With all of the sanding and stages of plaster repair, it seems to be a very messy job. Am I able to live in my home while the job is being done?
A: Yes. We work hard to minimize the impact to your life while we are working in your home. This includes things such as sealing off areas, heap air filtering, heap dust extraction, and other techniques to minimize dust going anywhere. We can’t guarantee it 100% for every job, because of a home’s layout but we take every precaution possible to minimize it and keep it safe for your family.
Q: I spoke with someone about repairing my plaster walls and they recommended just drywalling over the walls, is this what you do?
A: No, we do not recommend doing that, as first off, it isn’t addressing the issues of the plaster walls, which if not repaired, could continue to sag and damage the drywall from behind. Second, covering the walls make the room smaller, so you would need to change out all the trim and such; which could result in losing a lot of the original charm and character. Let a company like Columbus Home Heroes who specializes in historical plaster repair come and access the issues.
Q: Isn’t plaster repair just putting up some drywall patch?
A: I wish! First it is about assessing the issue that caused the crack or damage, then it is about cutting back the minimal amount of plaster to stop the damage from spreading, then sealing the damaged original section, and then using the proper plaster mix to match the walls then match the texturing.
