Questions we get asked
How long does plaster need to dry before I can paint it?
Plaster needs to cure fully before paint goes on, which can take several weeks depending on thickness and humidity. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we see the wall and the scope of the job.
Can you match the texture on my existing walls?
Yes. Before we patch anything we look at the existing texture and try to match the tools and technique used to apply it. On older homes this sometimes takes a test patch to get it right.
Do you work on old lath-and-plaster walls or just newer drywall?
Both. A lot of homes in Layton still have original lath-and-plaster walls, and we repair those as often as we work on newer blueboard and drywall systems.
What's causing the cracks in my plaster walls?
Cracks usually come from the house settling, temperature changes, or moisture in the wall. We check the crack and the area around it before we patch, so we're not just covering something that will come back.
Do you fix plaster damaged by a leak?
Yes. We cut out the damaged section, check that the area underneath is dry, and replaster to match the surrounding wall.
Does stucco hold up through Utah winters?
Stucco is built to handle temperature swings, but freeze-thaw cycles can open up cracks over time. We check the condition of the stucco and patch or recoat the areas that have been affected.
