COLColor Smooth walls before paint
Paint cannot hide a damaged wall. We repair plaster and drywall first — patching, sanding and leveling — so the final finish looks seamless and professional.
- Water and moisture damage
- Cracks in plaster walls and ceilings (common in older Rhode Island homes)
- Holes, dents and failed patches
- Ceiling repairs and rebuilds
- Skim coating and leveling
- Priming and painting after the repair

Frequently asked questions
Can you repair old plaster walls instead of replacing them?
In many cases, yes. We patch, level and refinish plaster so it is ready for paint.
Do you paint after the repair?
Yes. We handle the full job — repair, priming and painting — so you work with one contractor.
