"Chris and his team arrived right on schedule and because of another customer cancelling were able to begin the work on my ceilings immediately. This flexible scheduling was a HUGE plus!  They removed popcorn ceiling (circa 1980, so possibly asbestos containing) in about 900 square feet of living space (some of which was vaulted.)  Afterwards they applied a beautiful texture they called skip trowel to the ceilings and painted them.  Finally they repaired 3 medium sized holes in the drywall in my bathroom and then retextured the bathroom.  Their painting, ceiling texture, and cleanup were impeccable and I highly recommend their work on ceilings.  The bathroom (which I admit was not in a good state to start with) had excellent repairs made.  I can't tell where the new drywall is at all.  All of the work was done by a team that was respectful and professional.  I felt comfortable with them in my home, which is a huge plus - and did I mention that they cleaned up perfectly?!

There were two small hangups, both of which I think probably fall into a gray area, and for which I take partial blame since I'm just learning how to manage my own home repairs etc.  Since I strongly believe in reviewing truthfully I must point them out.  First, the re-texture in the bathroom seemed to have been done quickly, and turned out to be of uneven size and distribution.  When I called the next day to ask them to come work on the texture again Chris was very kind, and had his team return when promised to sand and reapply the texture.  The results the second time were much better, and they even worked on several small sections repeatedly.  They were very polite and professional the entire time.  My advice is simply to pay very close attention to any texturing and make sure you know what you want it to look like, and what degree of imperfection you are comfortable with.  Its also helpful to have a bright portable work lamp available to view the work before the crew leaves.

The second issue happened when I was told that the small spaces between the drywall and my ceiling beams that were revealed after the popcorn came down were impossible to deal with any other way than adding quarter round.  Since Chris and I had no way of knowing that this flaw was going to show up its fair for him to revise his bid higher to fix it, but I told him to just leave the spaces.  However, when my handiman showed up he told me these spaces just needed hot mud applied to them and that the beams would hold up the hot mud with no problems (the spaces were located directly on top of the beams.)  Now, my handiman did a great job with this repair, but he is definitely not a drywall specialist like Level 5 Drywall.  Did I give him my entire ceiling retexture job? No I did not.  Level 5 told me that quarter round was the only way, and I trust they thought that was the only way.  However, my little handiman managed to do a perfect job and the hot mud dried beautifully, and the spaces are gone.  Perhaps this is an instance were the handiman was willing to put in more effort? Or maybe do something a little shady in order to massage the repair to make it work? Either way, I don't mind having paid extra to have the ceiling I wanted.  If the hot mud falls out in a year I will come make a note of that on Angies List, and then hire Chris to come back and fix it. :)

Overall Chris and his team did a great job, my ceilings are beautiful and my bathroom is much MUCH better than I had believed possible. When I need drywall work again I will absolutely call Level 5!"

"Thomas was the right person for this work. Excellent knowledge of the right repair and plastering techniques. Protected the area outside the bathroom from any dust or contamination. Very polite and personable. My dog also liked him. Cleaned up the area afterwards. Finished wall blends in perfectly with surrounding wall. Pricing very reasonable. Couldn't be happier!"

"John repaired and re-plastered the brick columns of our house that had cracks and peeling paint. He ground the columns to even out the surfaces and applied a new color coat. We are very pleased with the results and are confident that the stucco will look great for many years to come. We highly recommend John and Jesse for any stucco repair job."

"I hired Robert to paint my entire home after I suffered water damage that required extensive repair. I found Robert McKay to be an ethical professional who makes no excuses and gets the job done right. He cleaned up as he went, was organized, and thorough in his work. He pays attention to detail, which is important, and he is reliable, and flexible in working with your home issues and deadlines. I definitely will and have referred him to friends."

"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."

"These guys are great! We were scheduled to move in on a Thursday and Danny was able to fit us in 2 days before that. I got a couple of quotes from other companies and Boyd's remodeling was the lowest. I got a discount because the condo was vacant (no furniture). This was a 2 day job. On the first day the entire Condo was prep and the popcorn was removed including all necessary ceiling repairs. On the second day Zack met us and went over where they were at with the job. Jorge did an awesome job painting the ceiling and in only 4 hours! Our ceiling looks fantastic!! The condo even smells better! I would completely recommend this company! Danny called me on Saturday while he was out of town to confirm the start of the job. They truly went above and beyond!

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

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.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.
