Best Handymen in town. From. Drywall repars,painting, baseboards, hanging doors, install windows, garbage disposal, dishwasher, faucets, ceiling fan, switches, outlets, appliances installations, facia board installations,laminate flooring,

"Replaced cabinet door- now won't shut. Carpet on wall is too loose, hooks too close together, which he didn't point out- spent a lot of time at the store instead of picking up materials on the the way, he splintered the boards because he didn't have the proper tool for rounding the corners for the window sills- didn't sand or paint them properly, ripped card table when placing the boards in the garage, broke gate, kept paint. His helper did a good job, putting the bookcase together, and fixing the wall. I texted him a couple weeks later when I found his contact info, but he denied being in those areas- but they came through the front door several times and put the boards in the garage, which I pointed out to him, but he did not respond again. I had to pay someone else to place the sills, but they're still not sanded and painted- and it will cost more too to replace the card table and gate then their accomplishments were worth. Very disappointing."

"Calroc also did the whole house painting inside after they removed our popcorn ceiling. They installed the 2 bath sinks/meds cabinet, a vanity light in the master bath and fixed a small portion of our laminate floor. They came on time and stayed late to finish the days' work. Jorge sent us a clear contract of what the project will be and was very prompt with his response to our texts/calls. Cesar's crew even helped us move some heavy furnitures. After they were done, there was very little clean-up to be done. A few months after the job was done I had to contact Jorge because there was a very slow leak under one of the sinks. He was again very quick to respond, worked with me to schedule an inspection and sent Cesar to find where the leak is coming from and got it fixed. I would hire these guys again for their work ethic! Thanks Jorge for a great customer service!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.
