Plaster repair in Fargo
Plaster repair is a specialized trade that goes far beyond simply patching a hole. In Fargo, where many homes and commercial buildings feature original plaster walls from the early to mid-20th century, the work involves assessing the underlying structure, stabilizing loose keys, and matching the texture and finish of the surrounding area. Unlike drywall, plaster is applied in multiple coats over wood or metal lath, creating a harder, more durable surface that can crack, bulge, or separate from the lath as the building settles. Our process begins with a careful inspection to identify the root cause — whether it’s a leaking pipe, a foundation shift, or age-related delamination. We then remove damaged sections, reattach loose lath, and apply fresh plaster in three coats: a scratch coat, a brown coat, and a finish coat. Each coat must be allowed to cure properly to avoid future cracking. For smaller repairs, such as cracks around windows or door frames, we use a flexible patching compound that bonds with the existing plaster and can be feathered to match the original texture. In Fargo’s climate, where freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal humidity changes put constant stress on building materials, proper plaster repair is not just cosmetic — it prevents moisture intrusion and structural deterioration. Whether you’re restoring a historic home near Island Park or updating a commercial space on Broadway, our team understands the unique behavior of plaster in this region.
