How to fix plaster walls.  An Introduction

Welcome to my blog.  This post and the following posts are designed to show you how to repair your plaster problems the right way (while avoiding a minimum of ten common mistakes people make in this area.)

First of all, congratulations on your desire to repair that plaster of yours and make it look good.

Your desire to make a CHANGE is the first step in the process of beautifying the plaster walls and ceilings of your home. 

The second step is to decide if you are going to fix that plaster yourself ... or employ the services of a professional.

Many will choose to use the pro, and that is a good decision.  That way, you can avoid the potential aggravation and mess of trying to do it yourself.  You exchange your money for a job well done, you hope, and if all goes well your headache is resolved by someone else.

You can even do an online search to find recommended plaster contractors in your area and get free, no-obligation bids of your project.

However, maybe you are an adventurous person and you like doing stuff for yourself.  Not just to save money, but you like the great feeling you get when you fix something, it works and it looks good.  Alright!

My website and all the information there is addressed to someone like you, someone who can follow directions and get a result that works and looks good.

I have been in the plaster repair and renovation business for over 40 years.  Story.  I want to let you in on a little secret.  PLASTER REPAIR AIN'T ROCKET SCIENCE!!!  What most people lack is good information.  The manual skills themselves are not hard to acquire.  Information, motivation and practice - all three taken together - can yield nice results ... and pride in a job well done.

My purpose in this series of instructional messages, then, is to give you a heads-up on potential mistakes you might make if you rush into fixing your plaster.  I know this happens. People contact me through the website all the time with problems that developed when they started with inadequate information.

This little mini-course will walk you through some basic processes regarding how to approach plaster problems.  Of course, it will not be enough all by itself but will point you in the right direction.  The website  information, however, is pretty complete. I will send you to the appropriate pages to round out your information as we proceed.
