Carver's Plastering & Stucco

This is the third time I have worked with Terry. He plastered the many cracks in a bedroom's walls, as well as in the ceiling. He then applied a new coat of plaster on the entire ceiling, creating a textured finish like in an old Spanish-colonial revival style house. Terry is a pleasure to work with. He has many years of experience and I feel fortunate that he still wants to make his his craftmanship available to customers.

Very responsive and excellent work quality. Terry showed up on time and completed plaster repair work ahead of schedule.

Mr. Carver came out and gave an estimate of $1,200 for the work. At the time of the estimate, I did not know if there was going to be a need for inside wall work repair (i.e. frame repair), so I agreed to the $1,200 quote. Mr. Carver came on time and repaired the stucco and the plaster (including prepping the wall with a plaster "glue". He matched the texture of the existing plaster, as requested. The job took approximately 3 hours. Mr. Carver was friendly and he cleaned up after his work. I paid the $1,200. I would not hire him again, because I believe I was grossly overcharged for this work. I was charged $400/hour for this relatively small job. I cannot find justification for his pricing.

Terry did a fantastic job of repairing my walls and replacing the stucco to match the existing style on my wall. I'm very happy with the work and would highly recommend Terry to anyone seeking stucco/plastering work.

He did great work and cleaned up well. The only point of contention was that I asked if we should not use a water barrier so these walls were bordering flower beds and he did not use that. Now it's leaking through.

Terry is excellent. He is skilled, punctual and responsive. If you only care about price, and quality is less important, forget Terry. But if you want a well-done job -- including cleanup -- I highly recommend him.

Work performed is described above.  Terry arrived on time.  He was quick to point out the rotting wood inside the overhang, and offer several alternatives for fixing it.  He spent approximately three hours in total on the job.   I was satisfied with the end result, and just have to hire a painter to paint the areas he worked on.  (He also provided a referral to a painter, though I haven't followed up with him at this time).

Terry repaired several areas of plaster, in the house, and one area of stucco outside.  He was on time for the consultation and for the two work days.  Repaired areas look great and are ready to be painted.  The outside stucco texture was matched perfectly.

Great communication, quality of work and cleaned up well before leaving. Very pleased to have found Carver's Plastering and would not hesitate to use them again, or recommend them to others. 

Arrived on time, Performed work independently and professionally

Terry's response was prompt.  He knew what he was doing.  He did a professional job.  He applied all new stucco to cover the whole wall and matched the texture of the wall to the stucco texture on the house beautifully.  The difference between his work and the work of the guys who built the wall is night and day.   The new stucco looks thicker, covers completely, and the edges are slightly rounded (no longer looks like a poorly covered square cinderblock wall).  It now appears elegant and what I had always had in mind.

Smooth.  called Terry in the morning and he was able to squeeze the job in the same day. I texted Terry the address and he did the repair while I was at work.  When he was done I met him at the house and took care of businesses.  The patch looks great and Terry matched the stucco perfectly.  Need and clean.  Terry is very personable and will definitely use him in the future.

He was quick to respond to my quote request, prompt for the meeting; even more prompt showing up for the job. He explained our options & how he would handle the repair well.  Everything was done in one day.  He was tidy in his work process & lovely to deal with.  Thoroughly recommend!

After getting extensive plumbing work done, we had a small area that needed patching.  Terry did a professional job, arrived when he said he would, and though he apologized for having to charge as much as he did for such a small job, his price was still much less than the job would have cost if we had used the plumber's plasterer.  He was knowledgeable, personable, and the job looks much better than I thought it would!

Terry Carver is the man who owns this business and he did the work himself.  Because my job was not a big one, he was able to work me in to his busy schedule and did the repair the same he gave me his estimate!  He did an excellent job matching the design of the stucco on my 1923 home.  He was also very nice, professional and ...... he liked my dogs!  
I will be calling him again.

Terry contacted me right away to set up a time to have a look and give me an estimate, which I went with.   We coordinated schedules, he was on time, and was able to complete the work in one day. Terry did a great job with the repair work, which included draping the furniture in the room and prepping the ceiling for new plaster.  And he cleaned up after the work was completed.  The ceiling is now in great shape for new paint.  I would definitely contact Terry again for any stucco / plaster work that is needed.

The experience was awesome. I learned more about what is entailed in plastering work. I appreciate the professionalism that he brought. He didn't mind my asking lots of questions.

I agree with the other recent reviewers - Terry is a craftsman and very professional. He did a great job! This was a relatively small project (although one aspect proved a lot more complicated than we thought and had led him to believe), but he treated it with the same care and respect we would expect with a larger, more expensive job. He was prompt, and communicated very clearly the risks involved in part of the job to be sure we understood what we were asking him to do. He finished on time and within budget, exactly as promised. And it looks great!! Will be my first call for any plastering or stucco work in the future. You can't go wrong here.

Terry was outstanding. He gave me an estimate and did the work the next day. He fixed areas he felt needed fixing. I was absolutely impressed by his timeliness and the overall quality of his work. Well done.

Prompt, friendly, & professional.  I hope I don't need any more stucco repair, but if I do I'll call Terry!

Terry is an exceptional craftsman and all around great guy.  
While demoing our house, we uncovered the original 1920s plaster fireplace that was covered by a brick facade and wood paneling.  We also uncovered some original inset bookshelves coves that were missing their arched tops.  Terry painstakingly restored all of this plaster back to its original condition -- including the arched bookshelves, the fireplace, and recreated a mantel that was removed at some point.
He's punctual, professional, and just an amazingly talented and all around good guy.
