"Ed quickly responded to my project request and setup an appointment to see what I needed. We had to change the color of stucco on an exterior landscape wall and paint the wall caps. Ed made sure that we were happy with the new stucco color (fog coat) and painting of the wall caps. He also fixed a couple of exterior shutters that were coming off the wall. Overall excellent job and I highly recommend Guzman Plastering."

"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 don't think you could ask for a more professional contractor. I was thoroughly satisfied with the contractor himself, the employees, the work that was performed, their punctuality, their availability and their ability to help me after the earth quake took place. Everything that I needed, they were able to attend to and repair. They were clean. In a job that could have been extremely messy, they were fantastic. I would recommend them completely to any friend of family member."

"Art was extremely helpful and accommodating at every step of the project, from bidding through scheduling and even some additional work we needed a few weeks later. The team worked efficiently, doing a new main line install (going under our sidewalk and concrete without any demolition), re-piped the horizontal pipes under the house with copper (they were 100 year old galvanized), and setup a new shut off and regulator outside. They did everything in a day and cleaned up nicely. When we had other contractors working on our foundation 2 weeks later, they bent over backwards to get plumbers out the next day to make some fixes to drain pipe and at an excellent price. I got quotes from three companies and Repipe Pro was the most competitive and also great responsiveness from Art and his wife Thelma who run the business. To anyone looking for a repipe of a home or new main line or having drain work done, I definitely recommend contacting Art at Repipe Pro."

"Tony and his crew did a really outstanding job. As an experienced home renovator and the general contractor on an ADU build, these guys exceeded my expectations. They hung 5/8" drywall and put a really nice smooth finish on it, skimming over everything with multiple coats. The edges and corners are super sharp and the job looks great. Communication was great, super easy to work with, job completed a few days ahead of schedule. Recommend these guys without reservation."

"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!

"We highly recommend Brightview Painting. They took over after we let our original painter go due to his poor workmanship. Brightview corrected all the problems the previous painter caused that could be corrected. They did extensive prep work, including sealing/caulking where necessary. They re-repaired stucco that the previous painter had tried to repair and then used certain painting techniques to make the area look much, much better. They went above and beyond, obtaining multiple paint samples when we couldn’t decide on the color and painting those samples on the house for us. And when there were a few glitches (there always are even with the best contractors) they took care of them promptly and cheerfully. They stand behind their work. Their goal is to make their customers happy, and it shows. It was such a pleasure working with Edgar and his crew!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

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.

Plaster repair costs range from $4 to $10 per square foot for refinishing, while skim coating can be less expensive, usually between $2 and $5 per square foot. The price you pay for plaster repairs will depend on the extent of the damage, the type of plaster you have on your walls, and the accessibility of the damage. Plaster repair on the exterior of your home tends to be more expensive, as there’s a higher chance that ladders or scaffolding will be necessary to carry out the repair.
