Plaster Repair in Machesney Park & Rockford, IL
Cracked, loose and damaged plaster walls and ceilings in older homes repaired and painted - keeping the original walls instead of tearing them out.
What plaster repair looks like with us
Many older homes around Rockford, Loves Park and Beloit still have their original plaster walls and ceilings. Plaster is harder and more solid than drywall, but after decades of settling and seasonal movement it cracks, and in places it can come loose from the lath behind it. Repairing it properly keeps the character of an older house and avoids the dust and cost of gutting walls to replace them with drywall.
What’s included
Signs your plaster needs attention
Plaster tells you when it is in trouble:
- Cracks that keep coming back after being filled.
- Ceiling cracks with a slight sag, or plaster that moves when pressed.
- Bulges, or areas that sound hollow when tapped.
- Crumbling or missing sections, often around old water damage.
Plaster and lead paint
Plaster walls almost always mean an older house, and houses built before 1978 may have lead paint in the old layers. Sanding or scraping those surfaces needs to be done under the EPA's lead-safe work rules. Mention the age of the house when you call.
