Plaster Repair
Plaster wall and ceiling repair for older homes. We patch cracks, stabilize loose plaster, and match existing textures. No tear-out needed.
Older homes — Victorian, Craftsman, Foursquare, prairie-style — were built with lath-and-plaster walls. Repairing plaster is not the same as repairing drywall, and replacing plaster usually means losing original character.
We stabilize, key in, skim coat, and finish so plaster walls look like plaster walls when we are done.

What clients say
"We are so happy we chose OnDemand Painters for our home. Matt was fantastic to work with. His communication was consistent, timely, and made the entire process feel seamless. The finished paint job looks amazing, and you can really tell they care about the quality of their work. The new color has completely changed how I feel about our home."
Tiffany Jones from Brevard County, FL
"Chris was great to work with up front. Competitive, easy, efficient, responsive, and kept me up to date along the way. Jarrod and his team were great to work with on paint day. They took the time they needed to provide a good quality outcome, cleaned up well after themselves, and we walked the project at the end to review any comments. Would recommend this team."

What is your warranty policy? expand_more

Interior painting typically runs $300–$850 per 12×12 room, or $1–$3 per square foot for whole-home projects. Exterior painting runs approximately $1.50–$4 per square foot. Pricing depends on project scope and surface condition. Contact us for a firm quote. Estimates are provided the same day.
What is your deposit policy? expand_more
We require only a 25% deposit upfront, with the balance due on completion. The industry standard is 50% or more. We accept all major credit cards. You're not locked in financially. The remaining 75% is due only when you're satisfied with the work.
What areas do you serve? expand_more
We operate in six metro markets: St. Louis MO, Chicago IL, Detroit MI, Kansas City MO/KS, Nashville TN, and Brevard County FL. Each market has a dedicated local crew with its own phone number. We do not operate outside these six specific areas.
Can I get an estimate without being home? expand_more
Yes. Our satellite imagery-based quoting system generates firm estimates without an in-person visit. This is particularly useful for property managers with multiple locations, out-of-state property owners, and busy professionals. If you prefer an in-person estimate, that option is also available.
What makes OnDemand Painters different from national franchises? expand_more
OnDemand is owner-operated. Chris Heerdegen personally answers calls and manages all crews. Specific differences vs. franchises like CertaPro: 3-year warranty (vs. 2-year), 25% deposit (vs. 50%+), 10-minute satellite quotes (vs. multi-day estimate process), and zero BBB complaints across both our Chicago and St. Louis offices.
Do you handle commercial projects? expand_more
Yes. We serve commercial clients including offices, retail spaces, and multi-unit residential buildings across all six markets. Commercial capabilities include after-hours and weekend scheduling, multi-location coordination, and the same 3-year warranty and communication standards applied to residential work.
Can plaster be repaired or do I need to replace it? expand_more
Almost always repaired. Tearing out plaster destroys the original character of older homes and creates dust and disposal headaches that are usually unnecessary. We stabilize, patch, and skim.
