Plaster Repair in Chicago

Expert plaster restoration for Chicago's historic and classic homes.

Home› Services› Plaster Repair

Chicago is full of beautiful older homes with original plaster walls and ceilings. Over decades, plaster can crack, bubble, sag, or sustain water damage — but replacement isn't always the answer.

Primer Chicago specializes in plaster repair and restoration. We stabilize loose plaster, fill cracks, skim-coat uneven surfaces, and match existing textures so repairs blend seamlessly.

Whether it's hairline cracks in a Lincoln Park greystone or water-damaged ceilings in a vintage Bucktown two-flat, we have the skills and materials to restore your plaster to its original condition.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but the water source must be fixed first. Once the leak is resolved, we remove damaged plaster, treat for mold if needed, re-plaster, and finish to match the surrounding surface.
