"Did a great job plastering the exterior of my house. Covered the areas where a door had been removed and windows had been enlarged to perfection. All the work was very detail oriented and completed on time. Kept the area clean and neat as he completed each stage of the work. I would highly recommend Robert for any job large or small."

"Went well - Oscar came to my residence within one hour after I called him, looked at the repairs needed, gave me a price for the repairs and said he’d be back the next day to do the job. He showed up the next day - did the work needed in a timely manner and said he’d be back to paint the wall. Showed up again the following day and finished the job. Oscar did what he said he was going to do, did his job and did it well. Plus he actually showed up!! I say that because the first person I talked to regarding the repairs - a person that was recommended through Angi -never showed up, even though he told me twice he was coming. Five stars for Oscar."

"Zohar at Best Builders Group came out to our house in order to check and see how and what to change in the existing kitchen. Zohar and his team of people did a wonderful remodeling job from A to Z. We were very impressed and surprised from the high quality of the work and from the professionalism of the workers. During the work, several issues came up during the remodeling project but the team and Zohar handled all of them with no effect to the completion date and with no additional cost. We are looking forward to hire them soon and to remodel all of our bathrooms."

"

I had water damage in my garage from a leaking toilet and the drywall and insulation had been removed by another vendor.  I needed to replace the drywall to the original specifications.  I called 5 contractors from Angie's List and got proposals from 3 contractors. 

We decided to go with Ciro Mejia for the following reasons:

1.  Ciro called me back 30 minutes after I left him a voice message and I was able to schedule him to see my garage the next day.  The other contractors were not as responsive to me.

2.  When we met with Ciro he was able to immediately access the scope of work and gave us a verbal proposal and he emailed me a written proposal when he said he get it to me.  I liked his responsiveness.

3.  When another contractor suggested using mold resistant drywall, I called Ciro back and he said he would use mold resistant drywall for the same price he initially proposed.

4.  We liked Ciro when we initially met with him, he was on time and we could tell that he knew about drywall.

5.   His proposal was the lowest of the 3 proposals we received.

Overall, we thought that the quality of the work performed by Ciro's crew (Cireo, Elmer, Roberto and Benny) was excellent.  They arrived on time and finished the installation of the drywall and plastering in 1 day.  After the plaster dried for 1 day, the painter came by the following day and put primer and paint on the drywall that matched perfectly the rest of the garage. 

We would definitely recommend Ciro and his crew.  Ciro is the "King of Drywall"!!

"Joseph is amazing. We have used him many times for years for multiple home projects including remodeling a bathroom, new siding on the house, new roofing, plumbing repairs (and emergencies). He has always responded quickly, his work has been excellent, the site is always left immaculate, his crew are always on time and very pleasant. Joseph's work is outstanding and we have never had any issues. He has helped us out fixing issues that predated him also promptly and done to only his high standards. We can not recommend him high enough and will use him for many years to come."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

Whether you can install or repair plaster yourself depends on the project's size and your comfort level with DIY projects. It's possible to handle small repairs on your own, but for larger projects like a room restoration or a full installation, it's often best to hire a local plaster professional. The final appearance, even coverage, and durability of the plaster depend heavily on proper wall preparation and application. If you are not 100% confident in your ability to achieve a professional result, letting an expert handle the job is a worthwhile investment.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.
