Repair cracks in interior plaster walls.
It's common and, in most cases, superficial. So relax and caulk them.
Folks, we are located in Oakland, Ca.

Since many have asked why I didn't use fiberglass mesh or paper tape around the perimeter of the plaster patches, I will explain.
You can use either Plaster-Weld or Quikrete bonding agents.
Most folks don't use anything around the edges, we always do as we're professionals plus that's the proper way to do these kinds of patches for longevity.
FYI, using tape weather paper or fiber-mesh tape would leave a hump around the patch's perimeter.
When installing new sheetrock then tape is necessary around where all the boards meet.
Not for what you see being done in this video.

Winter rains cause cracking as it lifts the grounds, which in turn causes too subtle vibrations to notice; Voila, cracking on the exterior and the interior wall walls.

Hello guys and gals, I took on this simple interior plastering project to show you what's expected.
Normal and harmless cracking on interior plaster. Anyone can repair small cracks in interior plastered walls.

Too many people panic for this exact reason; not necessary.
These folks called me and said they were having severe structural issues.
I looked at it and accepted the simple fix to show you guys there's nothing severe or structural about any of the cracking insides or on the exterior.

Folks, this is normal with a 30-year-old home.
This home is over a hundred years old.
In fact, I'm surprised as to where this house is located; it's not much worse or even more severe cracking.
It's on a busy street with buses and big trucks going by, plus a couple of high rises next to this small house.
What does this have to do with these minor cracks? They compound this minor cracking.
Why? Excellent question. Vibrations are the number one reason why stucco and concrete can crack.
Vibrations in stucco walls are like Kryptonite to Superman, not good.
