Plaster & Drywall Repair in Flagstaff AZ

The plaster repair process begins with identifying damaged areas such as cracks, loose sections, bubbling, or crumbling plaster. Any unstable or deteriorated material is carefully removed to create a solid base for the repair. The surface is then cleaned and prepared, and bonding agents may be applied to make sure the new plaster sticks well. New plaster is put on in thin coats to restore the damaged area and create a level, even surface. Each coat sets properly before the next is applied. After curing, it is then sanded and made to match the adjacent wall or ceiling. Finally contractors will prime and paint.
