Ceiling collapse/repair

Hi all,
Part of our ceiling collapsed last night and I’m in need of someone who may be able to repair it ASAP. Currently just looking for someone who can square it off and install drywall for now. Please forward any contact that you have. Thanks! [F5214B86-869D-44FC-B39D-19702753F755](//muut.com/u/brownstoner/s2/:brownstoner:j0Td:f5214b86869d44fcb39d19702753f755.jpeg.jpg)

I recommend you consult with a few plaster experts (not drywall or general contractors) asap for some quotes. Ceilings are always expensive but if it’s just the one spot that needs repair it’s going to be easier, faster, cheaper and safer to re-plaster it rather than cut out the lathe and do a drywall patch. The plaster experts will be able to tell if other areas are in danger of falling and what needs to be done asap for safety. Agree with above that there may be other loose areas that should be secured with plaster washers. Please consult with your friends and neighbors or people on here who you know about plaster experts they have used and would recommend.

Hard to see from the blurry photo, but you may have other loose areas around the perimeter.
The perimeter should be secured with plaster washers and I would check the rest of the ceiling as well, plaster is heavy.
If your budget allows I would have the area repaired with base and finish coat plaster to match the original. A sheetrock patch is a sloppy way to do it.
