Patch or resurface?

Knowing your finish's age helps. The company's published typical ranges in Arizona are about 5 to 7 years for plaster, 12 to 18 for quartz and 25 to 30 for pebble, depending on care. If an older finish is also rough, stained or flaking, ask whether resurfacing makes more sense than a spot repair.

Problems rarely come alone

A leak can be tied to a crack, and failing equipment to old plumbing. A contractor who handles repair, resurfacing and remodeling can look for the root cause instead of patching symptoms.
