"We just completed our remodeling project with Best Builders Group and it was a great experience overall. We added a master suite (appx 350 sq. ft.) to our house. We got several estimates from several construction companies and we decided to hire Best Builders Group for that because of their big experience in design, great price and great approach. The addition project was not simple at all but Zohar handled each stage of the work very productive and he always kept us up to date about the entire progress. His design was a huge advantage and it was the main thing that we couldn’t fins in the other ones. Our bathroom addition is definitely stunning and it’s our favorite part at the house now. Zohar also recommended to have a tile wall and floor tile that made the bathroom a beautiful one! More than that, he was very hard working worked extra hours because of our long schedules. Zohar and his professional crew were very respectful of our time and space. Overall, we are excited with the addition and thankful to Zohar and Best Builders group."

I have done a good job for 35 years and I will do a good job for you. I have over 5000 happy customers. Trust me and trust my angleslist-google and yelp reviews. I personally guarantee a "no babysit/professional job" in every phase of our interaction-from the minute we meet until the next time we meet. I am old school with an obsession to detail. I picked up my first paint brush in 1967 at 10 years old and painted my dads front porch (battleship gray) Ha! I think thats all we had back then....but I got the pat on the back and never looked back.

"I spoke to few home improvement companies and one of them was Michael at Venetian Builders. Our meeting and conversation was very productive that I decided to hire him for our project because he appeared to be more skilled and motivated for the job. Our project included the complete demolition, new framing, new plumbing, new tiles on floors and walls and not only in the shower area but surrounding the entire perimeter of the bathroom, build a new custom vanity, custom large mirror with large TV screen behind, new lights (outlets and switches), patching, priming, painting, new fixtures, frameless shower door, pocket door, travertine floor and cleaning of the entire place. Because this was our first large scale remodeling project, we needed a commitment which everything will be delivered on time and a guarantees to get a quality product. Michael was very patient and kind with us while he heard always to our opinions and ideas. During the middle of the remodeling project we said that we want to have a special door and when we saw the new beautiful tile wall, we changed our mind about it and we changed it to a swing door which fit much better. We will hire Michael and Venetian Builders again mainly because of his passion to his work and his stubbornness to create a space that is the best fit for his clients while doing all he can to deliver that. He was always helpful and receptive while prepare us for what was about to come and how he will solve them. We are overjoyed with the result of our new master bathroom and could not be happier."

"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."

"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."

"I bought an Angie's list deal for dry wall repair but really they just spread some spackle on it and left it rough. I had to scrape off the blobs of spackle left on the ceiling. My boyfriend could have done the same job. I wanted them to actually replace the dry wall where it was cracking. Mainly they wanted to sell me more jobs and pushed me to sign on with them to get new insulation in the attic. I had them give me an estimate on rain gutters while they were here. Their estimate/prices are very high. I think they have to pay for all those people manning the phones. It sounds like a boiler room when they call."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.
