Drywall vs. Plaster: We Know the Difference
Homes built before 1960 are plaster. Drywall and plaster require very different approaches, and repairs are tailored to the home's age and construction.
Our website offers in-depth documented projects of drywall repair throughout Western New York. We go beyond quick fixes by restoring the damaged surface, preparing it correctly, and finishing for paint.
Common Drywall Issues We Solve
- Cracks and Holes: Settling, accidents, plumbing work and nail pops can leave walls and ceilings damaged. We repair and finish the area for a smooth, durable result.
- Water Damage: Leaks can cause brown stains, sagging ceilings and weakened drywall. The source of the moisture should be resolved before damaged material is repaired or replaced.
- Skim Coating: Textured or uneven walls can be skim coated for a smoother surface before primer and paint.
- Stress Cracks in Older Homes: Older Lancaster homes may have plaster walls and ceilings that require a different repair approach than drywall.
Pro Tip
If you see water dripping from a ceiling, don't hope it will simply go away. Releasing trapped water in a controlled way can reduce the chance of a larger collapse. A screwdriver and bucket are often the simplest tools, but the leak itself still needs to be corrected.

From Damage to Finished Surface
Assessment & Preparation
We inspect the damage, determine the repair approach, remove loose material and make sure moisture problems have been addressed before repair work begins.
Repair
Depending on the damage, we patch, tape, mud, reinforce and skim coat to create a seamless surface.
Primer & Paint
Once the repair is ready, we sand, prime and paint so the repaired area blends with the surrounding wall or ceiling.

Skim Coating & Level 5 Finishes
We offer skim coating services. This work is labor intensive and can involve considerable dust, and our skim coating services include priming.
A Level 5 finish applies a very thin coat of drywall compound across the entire wall or ceiling surface. When done correctly, it creates a smooth, uniform surface. Communication between everyone involved is important so expectations for the finished surface are clear.

Drywall, Ceiling & Plaster Repair Reviews

The work they did on my home in Lancaster, to repair my popcorn ceiling that had a giant hole and a large unsightly crack running down the hallway, made it look as if there was never a problem. I would highly recommend giving Carrigan Painting serious consideration for any drywall repair, ceiling repair or painting needs...
They put down tarps and hung plastic to protect the rest of the house from dust. They took their time and paid attention to the details. They worked the walls and ceiling to perfection and made sure that the job met their high standards, even exceeding the contract specifications.
Carrigan repaired a large vaulted ceiling that sustained heavy water damage and later returned for a second water-damage project. The work was timely, efficient and the repaired ceilings looked new again.
