"They did a fabulous job! I had several areas that needed repairs/ replacing. They masked off areas and cleaned up behind themselves . I plan on painting myself"
"It went very well! They did a few different repairs for us. Everything’s held up fine since they did the work. This was the first time I had used them, and I would use them again in the future as well as recommend them to others."
"This is a multi family residence, more like an income property. After the use of many years and many cars in and out of the driveway. It had to be repaired someday. These guys came in quick and repaired and sealed the driveway. Took a few days but the final work was great! "
"They were wonderful. Everybody that came that worked was a gentleman. Everyone always acknowledged me when I went out to ask a question. The man who runs the company was wonderful, the man who headed up the roofing explained everything; he helped me up on the roof so I could see everything. The painter brought me samples and listened to what I wanted. The clean up was wonderful, they were just great, they were wonderful! They could be a little bit neater. There was tar -- we have a flat roof -- and they took off tar and rock and they replaced all of the broken plywood and shattered plywood. They took over 4 tons off of the roof of rock and tar. The lazy man patches were all repaired, and there was tar on the walk way and the driveway. They did clean it up, they got rid everything, but we eventually walked it in to the house and stuff like that; just neater."
"Robert is an excellent and professional plasterer. A different contractor removed the popcorn ceilings throughout my home, exposing many cracks in the lath and plaster ceiling along with sagging in a couple of places. That contractor told me the ceiling could not be repaired, and wanted to replace it with drywall for an exhorbitant amouunt. Instead of accepting that contractor's opinion, I started calling lath and plaster specialists. I selected Artistic Plasterers and was so glad I did. Robert told me that he could repair and replaster my ceiling and also guarantee his work. He did a wonderful job and was a real pleasure to work with. He truly was an artist. My ceilings and walls look so good that I am a little sad to have to have them painted! Not only is Robert a wonderful plasterer, he is also reasonable. He completed the job in a timely manner and completely cleaned up afterwards. I would rehire him wiithout reservation."
"It went great. It was a big deal purchase and it did cost me more than the big deal purchase. It was like a deal for four hours for $100 so they did almost half of everything and then they gave me a pretty good deal on finishing up. I think they were a little ill-prepared for how much work that needed to be done. There were just holes everywhere because of the electrical. They re-patched all of the dry wall holes and matched the plaster to the wall. I think they were ill-prepared for that but because of that they gave me a pretty good deal on finishing it so I was pretty happy about that. The price was great. Everything was great. The guy was a little late."
Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Professionals diagnose underlying causes, such as structural shifts or moisture problems, and apply appropriate solutions like reinforcement, patching, or sealing. These measures restore wall integrity and prevent recurrence, ensuring long-term stability.
In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.
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.
Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.
