"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."

"We just had our kitchen remodeling project completed with Best Builders Group and we couldn't be happier with the end results of the new kitchen. The new kitchen looks pretty much amazing and much more useful than the old one! We recently purchased our house and it needed major updates. Initially, we were going to work with our main contractor to remodel the entire house, but after reading reviews about Best Builders Group and their custom cabinetry options, we were excited to hire them and to have our kitchen being built by them. After the meeting Zohar and his main team manager Reuven, we were sure that we hiring them for our house. 
the kitchen space is not that big and we wanted more storage space, but Zohar was able to design a new layout of the kitchen that works perfectly for us. Zohar is very knowledgeable, fast thinker professional and helpful. With a complete home remodel, we had to schedule and set the right time for every task in order to make sure that the kitchen project will be complete on time. We had so many requests (some are big and some are small), but Zohar was willing to work with our aggressive schedule. The whole team of workers were incredibly easy to work with and they are very responsive. Because of some city approvals and permits, the completion of the project got delayed by 2 weeks more or less. Best Builders Group finished our cabinets on time and they were willing to hold the cabinets until the house was ready. While the installation was in progress, the team did a beautiful job. They paid good amount of attention to detail and cleaned up the work space after the project was completed.
We absolutely love our new kitchen and eating area. The quality of the custom cabinetry is very high-end and looks very professional. Thank you Best Builders Group for building us the kitchen of our dreams and needs! We had such a positive and great experience working with Zohar and his team. We highly recommend Best Builders Group!"

"I am remodeling my bathroom and needed drywall and texturing done. I contacted ZVN for an estimate and Zefe was here the next day. We went over the project, agreed on a competitive cost and ZVN shortly started the work. Zefe completed the work within a few days and made sure that the project matched my expectations. The replaced drywall matched perfect and the texturing of the entire bathroom made the room look brand new as if it had originally been built that way. Zefe strives for the customers’ satisfaction and is easy to work with. His many years of experience were evident in the completed project. ZVN was always responsive and completed the project on time as estimated."

"I would recommend Menaci Drywall Design to anyone looking for home repair work. They were quick to reply and answer questions, get info on what work needed to be done and scheduled an appointment to come do work. From first contact to completion was done in 3 days due to it being over Thanksgiving, had it been a regular week I believe it would have been done even sooner. The friendly and professional service is much appreciated!"

"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

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

Depending on how much adhesive was used as well as the strength of the adhesive, you may have some drywall damage when removing a mirror. You can typically repair most drywall damage if it’s small by sanding the damaged area, applying spackle to smooth the damaged section so it’s flush with the rest of the wall, and repainting the area.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly.
