Plaster repair in San Diego requires a specialist who understands the material — its texture, composition, and how it interacts with the local climate. Ross Painting Group restores interior and exterior plaster surfaces to like-new condition, whether the damage is from aging, moisture, settling cracks, or impact.
Our house plaster repair process begins with a thorough assessment of the affected area. We identify the root cause before applying any material, ensuring the repair holds long-term rather than just masking the problem. Hairline cracks, large holes, water-damaged sections, failing plaster pulling away from the wall — we have the right solution for each.
Texture matching is one of the most challenging parts of plaster repair San Diego homeowners face — a patch that doesn’t blend is worse than the original damage. Our craftsmen replicate smooth, sand, skip-trowel, and custom plaster textures so the repair is invisible after painting.
We work on interior walls and exterior plaster surfaces alike — traditional lime plaster, gypsum plaster, and modern plaster systems. All repairs are primed and paint-ready upon completion. CA Licensed #1151078. Call (619) 917-9088 for a free estimate.

Common Questions
Plaster is a multi-coat lime or gypsum system applied over lath. It's harder and more durable than drywall but requires specific materials and technique to repair invisibly.
Yes — sand finish, skip trowel, smooth, and hand-textured finishes all matched by eye. Once painted, repairs are invisible.
Not always. Hairline cracks in old plaster are often normal settling. Wider cracks, pattern cracking, or hollow-sounding areas indicate more serious issues we investigate before patching.
