Plaster repair in Forest Heights, blended into the original wall

As older Forest Heights houses settle, the plaster tells the story: hairline cracking, lath separation bulges, crumbling around past repairs. In Forest Heights we repair plaster walls and ceilings and blend the work into the surrounding surface, or skim the whole wall to a flat modern finish. Forest Heights is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so plaster work here ranges from spot crack repair to full-wall resurfacing. We cover Forest Heights, Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano and Southeast, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of plaster repair in Forest Heights?

Crack repair vs bulging plaster

The cost of plaster repair in Forest Heights depends on whether it is a surface crack, bulging plaster that has separated from the lath, or a failed section that needs cutting out. An Forest Heights surface crack is a fast repair; lath re-anchoring or plaster replacement is the bigger job. We assess on site and give a fixed price first.

Repair vs skim-over in Forest Heights

Many plaster walls here are best skim-coated over once the damage is stabilised — it brings an old wall back to a flat, modern finish rather than chasing endless cracks. We tell you honestly which makes sense for your Forest Heights home.

Keeping the plaster
