Plaster Repairs of a Kitchen and a Livingroom

Well as you can see I have added some more pages, Being that I only get a few hours here and there to work on this site I hope that you can see what might be involed with a repair in your Home.

This is a casting of a Medillion I just poured over the weekend.

I got a call from Ken a Homeowner who was doing some remodeling, Asked if I could come over and look at repairs that needed to be done

Here I installed sheetrock in ceiling and wall

Here I applied the Basecoat

I use Durabond 90 in the brown bags, Once this stuff drys it's harder then plaster

After Skimcoating I spot out the ceiling and walls

These next pictures are of a Living room, It started out as just a repaint.

It's hard to see what is going on in these pictures, But there are bubbles in the paint, I was told by Homeowners John & Linda that they had the roof replaced. This is how the paint ends up lossing it's adhesion to the ceiling and walls. Just a little water gets into the backside of ceilings and walls and with Humidity paint will bubble and peel cause the plaster can't dry out.

Here I started scraping out the bubbles in the paint and some of the putty coat came off the basecoat,

 Well the house was built in the 1950's, so being Ken wanted to keep costs down, I told him I would use sheetrock instead of plaster since most of the repairs would be covered with cabinets

 The same with the other side of the Kitchen.

 I have to build up the surface so it lines up with the ceiling

The topping compound is sanded out to smooth finish then I prime the repairs, then I spot out with spackle. Now it's ready for paint.

On this wall there were cracks going up the wall, What it was, Was the paint lossing it's adhesion to the plaster, with all the years that the old roof let moisture get to the plaster then once the new roof was installed the plaster started to dry out.

After scraping the loose paint from this wall,

After picking at the ceiling I found black mold on the backside of the rock lath, I ended up taking out a section of the ceiling in the Living room. On the next page you can see how I put it back together.
