Plaster Repair in Weymouth, MA
Plaster needs compatible materials, not drywall compound smeared over it, or the repair shows through the paint.
On Weymouth properties
Wall surfaces in Weymouth are mostly what the original builders put up. North Weymouth and South Weymouth are effectively different towns for pricing purposes. We match the substrate rather than skimming compound over it and hoping.
The way we work it
Plaster needs compatible materials, not drywall compound smeared over it, or the repair shows through the paint.
Three-coat plaster over wood lath behaves nothing like drywall. Repairs need a bonding agent and a compatible base coat, and the keys behind the lath have to be sound or the whole section keeps moving.
What usually fails
Skimming drywall compound over failing plaster. It bridges the crack for a season, then the plaster moves and the crack reopens in exactly the same line.
