He was super responsive and extremely helpful. He walked me through the work before starting, confirmed placement multiple times, and even said if I encounter any issues to give him a call and he’ll come back. I can’t recommend him enough. He even helped patch and redrill a hole for my art which was not part of the initial task. I’ll be using him anytime I have something else to hang.

Top Plasterer related questions
The US doesn't have a national plastering license, so licensing requirements are determined at the state or local level. In most cases, you likely won't need one for minor repairs. However, for bigger jobs, it's advisable to hire a licensed contractor to make sure they’re compliant with building codes and have insurance. You can find contractor licensing information through your state's licensing board website.
The average cost of plastering services can run anywhere from $200 to $1,200, but the final rate depends on your location, the type of plaster you require and the area of the house to work on, among other factors. For a more accurate estimate, ask for a detailed quote from your Tasker.
It could take one to three days, depending on the number of areas that you need to have plastered. For a more precise estimate, consult your Tasker.
Plaster usually dries after two to three days on the first application, then another seven days for the final coat.
Yes, lime plaster is an excellent choice to consider. It’s an environmentally friendly material that helps to regulate humidity and reduce the risk of mold, making it ideal for homes in Australia’s varied climates. And of course, it works well with both contemporary and traditional designs, which is a great plus.
Gypsum plaster is a widely used material for interior wall and ceiling finishes. Other common choices are cement plaster and clay plaster. A more modern and affordable option is synthetic plaster made of plastic. Each type of plaster has its own unique properties, so it's best to consult your Tasker for the best material for your purpose.
The difference between plastering and skimming is that plastering refers to the application of multiple coats of plaster to a wall or ceiling, often including a base coat and a top coat.
Skimming, on the other hand, is the application of a thin, final coat of plaster (or a specialised skimming compound) to create a smooth, even surface ready for decorating. Essentially, skimming is the final stage of the plastering process.
A good plasterer on Airtasker will have positive reviews and ratings from previous clients, showcasing their skill and reliability. Look for plasterers with experience in the specific type of plastering you need, evident in their profile and portfolio, and don't hesitate to ask for references or examples of their work before hiring. Clear communication and upfront pricing are also hallmarks of a trusted plasterer.
To complete your home maintenance checklist, you might also need painters to finish the walls, electricians for any rewiring, or carpenters if you're adding or changing any woodwork. Find all these trades and more on Airtasker to coordinate your project seamlessly.

What do plasterer services include?
If you want expertly handled plastering, opt to hire via Airtasker. By posting a task on the platform, you can match with tradespeople who are well-equipped to enhance the aesthetic value, longevity, and durability of your walls or ceilings. Plastering is important if you seek to prime your home for remodeling or elevate your living space with decorative features.
Here are some plastering services you can get via Airtasker:
Ceiling plastering
If you aim to have ceiling plastering, you will need a highly skilled tradesperson on the job. The task usually requires great precision due to the overhead work. Plasterers start by priming the ceiling surface and clearing the surrounding area. While some Taskers can move or cover furniture, you may need a separate service to vacate the space. Plasterers then apply a base coat of plaster and follow up with a finishing coat once the base has set. Special care is taken to ensure a smooth surface rid of sagging or dripping.
Wall plastering
For those looking to start wallpapering or repainting, consider hiring a plasterer to work on your interior walls. The process is similar to ceiling plastering, though wall plastering enables plasterers to have easier access and movement due to the vertical surface. Specialists first remove dust or debris from the wall, then apply two coats of plaster for complete and even coverage. Wall plastering can involve drywall plastering or applying plasterboard for added protection against noise and humidity.
Plaster repair
Your Tasker would typically suggest getting other specialists to repair any underlying issues near or around the plaster before they start the actual plaster repair job. Once issues like leaks and damaged pipes are resolved, plasterers inspect the site themselves to assess the extent of the damage. They then prepare the appropriate amount and type of plaster needed for the repairs, matching it as closely as possible to the existing plaster in terms of texture and appearance. After completing the repairs, hire a painter to apply a fresh coat of paint to restore the plaster and ensure a seamless finish.
Plaster coving
Want to add some pizazz to your otherwise dull room? Or perhaps you need assistance hiding noticeable imperfections? If so, consider plaster coving. This involves plasterers installing decorative molding at the junction between walls and ceilings. Plaster is a preferred material because of its adaptability, but if you prefer cheaper alternatives, you can also explore plastic options. During a coving service, plasterers measure and cut the coving to fit, and install it with adhesives.
Lime plastering
Lime plastering is an excellent choice for those looking to adopt environmentally friendly methods. This traditional technique uses a mixture of lime, water, and sand, which is known for its natural antiseptic properties and ability to regulate humidity. Lime plaster creates a breathable wall finish and a durable surface that can last for centuries, making it ideal for spaces prone to dampness and for preserving older structures.

I'm a new homeowner, and I tried to install a barn door in my main bathroom. It did not go as planned and now there are holes in the drywall where the lag bolts were for the rail of the door. I'm going to have the door installed professionally later but for now, l'd like just to restore drywall since this is new construction. This shouldn't be a tough job. I'm hoping to get a reasonable quote. l've removed the door and the rail is still installed. I will remove it but when I do, there will be several holes and 1 bolt that broke off into the drywall that I sawed down to try and cover. Above the door where the header board is is what needs repair. There are several holes.
Daniel was AMAZING to work with. He arrived early and got right to work on my little repair job. He even painted so now the drywall that was damaged with bolt holes looks like nothing ever happened. He’s really nice and puntual too. I highly recommend Daniel if you want something done right!
