Plaster repair in Skunk Hollow, blended into the original wall
Plaster repair in Skunk Hollow, blended into the original wall
Older homes move, and plaster shows it first — hairline cracks, bulging sections where the plaster has pulled away from the lath, and crumbling edges around old repairs. In Skunk Hollow we repair plaster walls and ceilings and blend the work into the surrounding surface, or skim the whole wall to a flat modern finish. Skunk Hollow is one of Okotoks's older established areas, so plaster work here ranges from spot crack repair to full-wall resurfacing. We cover Skunk Hollow, D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of plaster repair in Skunk Hollow?
Crack repair vs bulging plaster
The cost of plaster repair in Skunk Hollow depends on whether it is a surface crack, bulging plaster that has separated from the lath, or a failed section that needs cutting out. Surface cracks are quick; re-securing or replacing failed plaster takes more time and material. We assess on site and give a fixed price first.
Repair vs skim-over in Skunk Hollow
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 Skunk Hollow home.
Our Skunk Hollow plaster repair process, step by step
Stabilise the plaster first
A plaster repair in Skunk Hollow only lasts if the plaster is stable. Where it has pulled away from the lath we re-secure it; where it is crumbling we cut back to solid material before patching. Skipping this is why so many plaster patches crack again.
Patch, skim and blend
We patch with the right material for plaster, skim the area or the whole wall to flat, feather the edges past the repair, then sand and leave it paint-ready. In most Skunk Hollow homes, once it is painted you will not find where we worked.
Plaster or skim-coat? What is right for your Skunk Hollow home
Keeping the plaster
Where the plaster in your Skunk Hollow home is largely sound, we repair the damaged areas and blend — the most cost-effective option.
Skimming to a modern finish
Where a wall has widespread cracking or an uneven, wavy surface, we skim-coat it flat for a clean modern finish, or remove failed plaster and re-board with drywall. Both come up here, and we match whatever finish your Skunk Hollow walls and ceilings already have.
Common plaster repair situations in Skunk Hollow
Settling cracks in older homes
The common plaster calls here are settling cracks at corners and over openings, plus bulging sections in ceilings. We re-secure, patch and blend so the repair holds.
Renovations and additions
When a Skunk Hollow reno opens up a plaster wall or joins new drywall to old plaster, we make the transition seamless — matching thickness and texture so there is no visible line between the new drywall and the original plaster.
