Traditional plaster adds charm and strength to a home — but age, movement, moisture, and everyday wear can cause cracks, loose sections, soft spots, or crumbling areas. When plaster starts failing, you need repairs done carefully, not covered over.
At MrWalls Drywall & Painting, we specialize in true plaster repair, not quick patch-ups. Our craftsmen restore plaster surfaces throughout Chicopee, Springfield, Longmeadow, West Springfield, Ludlow, Westfield, and all surrounding Western MA towns.
We reinforce, rebuild, and blend repairs so your plaster stays strong for decades.
What We Repair
Our plaster restoration services cover all common issues found in older New England homes:
Cracked or brittle plaster
Loose keys / plaster pulling away from the lath
Holes, gaps, and broken sections
Water-damaged plaster
Settlement cracks
Soft, chalky, or crumbling areas
Uneven surfaces or rough patches
Plaster delamination (separating from the base layer)
Matching existing texture & preparing for painting
Optional prime & paint service
Whether it’s one ceiling corner or an entire room, we repair plaster the proper way so it doesn’t fail again.
Why Western MA Homeowners Choose MrWalls
Plaster is not drywall — and most contractors treat it like it is. We don’t.
✔ We Repair the Structure, Not Just the Surface
We secure loose areas, reattach plaster to the lath when needed, and rebuild missing sections with the right materials.
✔ Proper Techniques for Old Homes
Our process respects the original construction of Western MA’s older homes, from Chicopee three-families to Longmeadow colonials.
✔ Smooth, Seamless Finishes
We feather repairs into the surrounding plaster so there are no visible lines, ridges, or flashing marks after painting.
✔ Clean Work Environment
Floors, furniture, and décor are covered and protected. We leave no dust or mess behind.
✔ Locally Owned & Insured
Trusted by homeowners across Hampden County for quality, honesty, and clean workmanship.
Common Causes of Plaster Damage
Plaster breaks down for many reasons. The most frequent issues we see include:
Seasonal expansion and contraction
House settling in older Western MA homes
Roof or plumbing leaks
Vibration from doors, foot traffic, or HVAC systems
Aging wood lath losing strength
Past patchwork done incorrectly
Moisture and humidity changes
Heavy fixtures pulling on the wall or ceiling
If you’re seeing new cracks every season — it’s not just cosmetic. Your plaster may be loosening from the structure beneath it.
Our Professional Plaster Repair Process
1. Assessment & Explanation
We inspect the plaster, locate loose or hollow areas, identify structural weaknesses, and walk you through the right repair method.
2. Stabilization & Reattachment
Depending on the condition, we may:
Fasten plaster back to lath
Anchor loose or sagging sections
Remove weak material
Reinforce the surrounding area
This is the step most handymen skip — and why their repairs fail.
3. Rebuild & Finish
We use a multi-layer repair approach, allowing each layer to set properly, then we smooth, feather, and blend until the repair is invisible.
4. Texture Matching & Painting (Optional)
We match any surface texture (popcorn, sand-finish, or custom) and can prime/paint the area for a perfect final result.
Texture & Finish Matching
Older homes often have unique textures. We match:
Sand finish plaster
Smooth troweled ceilings
Skip trowel
Hand-applied finishes
Orange peel / custom blends
Patch transitions from plaster to drywall
Done correctly, the repair disappears completely.
Full-Room Plaster Renovation Available
For rooms with widespread cracking or decades of wear, MrWalls can resurface the entire area:
Skim-coat over old plaster
Level and smooth uneven surfaces
Reinforce weak sections
Prepare for paint or new finishes
Many homeowners choose this for older living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms — especially during renovations.
