"Came out and repaired my pool cracks and recoated pool. We had some issues with the recoat and he came back out and fixed it up the next day. The pool is looking great and now we just need to wait for curing before we can fill it back up. Quick service at a fair price. I would recommend!"

"Tiffany's crew is awesome. They did a large drywall project for us smoothing and removing a heavy drywall texture in 4 bedrooms. They were fast, efficient and did a beautiful job with our drywall. They even finished several days earlier than anticipated. I highly recommend Tiffany and her team. A+"

"Guys did a great job as promised.  Took advantage of a $999 special; an additional $300 for extra exterior door painting.  Approximately $1000 in paint necessary but we chose top quality paint in lieu of having Better Choice select paint.  House was power washed and some trim replaced prior to painting.  Some delays due to the high temperatures we experienced that pushed out the job a couple of times.

"Excellent! We are very pleased. They identified the problem as poor quality paint used years ago, scraped and re-plastered all the damaged areas as well as primer on all ceilings. Looks fantastic! Lumpy walls and ceiling are smooth and look like new. Owner and workmen were courteous, flexible, clean and quiet. They did a lot of little extras that we had not thought of. The house looks amazing and we are very happy with their service. Their bid was over 4 times lower than another high rated contractor."

"I contacted Michael and 2 other contractors to paint the exterior of my house.  I ended up adding a bathroom to the project subsequent to the exterior quote.
Michael returned my call immediately and was able to come out to my house and deliver an estimate in a couple days.  He was the cheapest of the contractors by about 25%.  We was ready to work the following week.
Michael was pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable.  He called every day to give an update and a status report on the project. After the first day of scraping, I noticed that the cleanup was OK, but some was left over.  Michael took care of it the next morning and I didn't have any other issues.
The painting was done reasonably quickly (there was a rain scare), and it was thorough and looked great.  I would use Michael again for any project, and encourage others to add him to your list when bidding a project out.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

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.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

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.

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.
