Handyman Jacob LLC has experience working with plaster and lath, bringing a careful eye to repairs in Minneapolis homes and commercial settings.

Plaster repair, step by step
The goal is a repair that makes sense for the wall beneath the finish.
Describe the concern
Share where the plaster is cracked, loose, or damaged and whether the issue is on a wall or ceiling.
Look beyond the surface
The surrounding plaster and visible lath conditions are considered to understand the scope of the repair.
Stabilize and repair
Damaged material is addressed with a careful repair approach suited to the existing plaster surface.
Refine the appearance
The repaired area is shaped and finished with the surrounding wall in mind, ready for the next finish when appropriate.
Reliable work for walls worth preserving
Jacob repaired several damaged plaster walls in our Whittier home and matched the existing texture beautifully. The work was careful, clean, and much easier than trying to coordinate several contractors.
We hired Handyman Jacob LLC for drywall repair and painting before listing our South Minneapolis property. The rooms looked refreshed, and Jacob kept the project moving without disrupting our schedule.
Jacob hung a large TV, mirrors, and multiple heavy pieces of artwork in our brick walls. Everything is secure, level, and exactly where we wanted it.
Helpful answers before work begins
How can I tell whether my wall is plaster or drywall?
Age, wall thickness, surface feel, and the presence of lath can offer clues, but the best way to understand the material is to review the damaged area and its surrounding construction.
Can you repair plaster cracks that keep coming back?
Recurring cracks deserve a closer look at the surrounding material and movement. The repair approach can be discussed after understanding the crack pattern and condition of the wall.
Is plaster repair more involved than drywall repair?
It can be, depending on the damage and the condition of the plaster and lath. Each project is different, which is why the repair area should be evaluated before the work is planned.
Can plaster be repaired without replacing the whole wall?
Many damaged areas can be addressed without replacing an entire wall, but the right approach depends on how extensive or unstable the damage is.
