I have a very large 1906 Tudor in Westchester. 12 years ago I did restoration of walls and ceilings in many of my rooms. When properly done, restoration must include repairs to old plasterwork. Screen mesh must be applied to all walls and ceiling to avoid future cracking. As of yet I have no cracks anywhere.
Do not plaster over old cracks. If you do not correct problems beneath, cracks will reoccur.
All my plaster restoration work in the last 12 years was done by a Russian man that explained this all to me. I recently used him again in my brown stone rental in Brooklyn. His name is Alexander and his number is (201) 2482861.
I am currently pricing out skim coating, and was wondering in what range people have had estimates.
Also – our walls have minor cracks, is it neccesary to mesh the walls?

Hi, Carrie.
Regarding your comment that it isn’t unusual for plaster to crack after a year and a half: We were assured that it would last AT LEAST five or six years due to Prosser’s using mesh and screws and all that. In fact, he told us that if we were to see a crack before then that he would come back and fix it gratis. Unfortunately, my dislike of him is such that the idea of having him back in my home has made me opt for coming to terms with said cracks and even naming them as a way to welcome them into my family.
