"Max was on time, professional, and very dedicated to getting the job done. He went above and beyond to paint our four rooms and our hallway - ceilings, trim, and walls. He fixed all of the drywall imperfections, moved all of the furniture, covered all of the area that was being painted and did an excellent job! He finished in two and 1/2 days. It looks to us like we have a new house. He also did an excellent job powerwashing our metal roof and gutters! We will definitely hire him again!"

"Forever After Renovations LLC did multiple jobs for me in a very short time at a very reasonable and affordable price! Their work is excellent and they were very good with cleaning up as they go which made my house very accessible wow getting much needed work done. I most definitely will be setting up an appointment to get a few other household projects done. My floors, drywall repairs and painting were done to my satisfaction and I'm loving the renovations made to my deck!"

"Technician realized that our refrigerator was beyond repair and recommended a replacement. He made a great try, however, too many things and the age of the appliance were the determining factors"

"Great experience. Jerry replaced a couple shingles that blew off my roof. He also repaired many shingles that were loose and ready to come off also without additional expense to me. (Above and beyond) He is multi skilled and also did some other repairs around the house also. He does Do It All. All his prices were very fair and reasonable. Very impressed. Also got some other estimates for things to be done. Finally found a great handyman to do things we are not able to physically do. Plan on using him much more. Erin was also very helpful and professional. Response time was exceptional, came out and met me after my work hours and did repairs next day. Call them- you will be happy."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.

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. 

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 cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.
