"This is the second time I have hired Juan to paint . First job was 2 bedrooms which were done excellent. Second project was to paint 2 bathrooms, a small section of kitchen cabinets and spray paint 2 exterior doors. This was in November 2021. Juan had Carlos paint the bathrooms and Juan painted the outside doors. The doors were done very well but the bathrooms had missed spots and the cut in to the crown molding wasnâ t done well. Juan said he would come back to correct it. The kitchen cabinets were put on hold because Juan said the weather was too humid. He said he would need 3 good sunny days to complete the kitchen cabinets. He had quoted me $1900.00 for the total job. He said He would just charge half for the work that was done in which I paid him $950.00. I didnâ t hear anything from he or Katherine for several weeks. I went out of town for the Christmas holidays and told Juan I would be back on December 29th. After the first of the year I called and reminded them that I really wanted my cabinets done as soon as possible. It rained a lot during the month of January and Katherine asked me to be patient because the weather was not ideal and Juan was booked heavily with some other jobs. I waited the whole month of February and never heard from them. Finally I called and left a message for them to call me. They did not. After two days I sent Katherine a text and told her that I was very disappointed that they would not call me back. She replied back that Juan wife had almost went into a diabetic coma that day and perhaps had COVID and to please be patient. I asked her what that had to do with them not calling me back and asked if Juan was not painting.? I am a retired RN so when someone tells me that a person ALMOST went into a diabetic coma it does not excite me. I reminded her that Juan had already been paid for the bathrooms and they were not to my satisfaction and he had not come back to correct the mistakes. She text me back later in the day and said Juan would be over the next day to correct the bathrooms. He came the next morning and had a young lady with him that he was training. She painted under his supervision and did a satisfactory job. I asked him how his wife was and he said she was good. He did not seem to be aware of what Katherine had told me. Juan and I talked about the kitchen cabinets that day. He said as soon as the weather got warmer and dry that he would do the cabinets ( that was March 2, 2022). I had not heard from them so yesterday I texted Katherine and asked her when I was scheduled for my cabinets. She did not answer me except to text me Juan number. I called him and he answered. He told me to call Katherine to see when I was on the schedule. I told him that I had texted her first and she had replied back with his phone number. He said he would talk to her and look at the schedule and call me back. He did text me last evening to tell me that since it had been so long since he quoted me that the price would be going up. I asked him how much and reminded him that I have the paint. He has not answered me yet. I think Juan has expanded his company and is overbooking. He, himself does a great job in painting. He does not have the time to supervise his workers and so the painting is not as good as it once was. Obviously Juan does not want to do my cabinets. There have been several days that the weather was good. Spray painting is more time consuming but he was charging me $950.00 for a small section of my cabinets. I thought that it was on the high side but since I trusted Juanâ s painting ability I was willing to pay what he wanted. I just wish that he had told me he did not have time so I could have had my cabinets done by now. My advice is to make sure that your job is totally complete before you pay him.. because I think you will have a hard time getting him back for a small job."

His job included doing all the gutting, top to bottom, replacing ceilings, lights and drywall. He did a great job in laying the tile. He installed vanities, and kitchen cabinets and appliances. He finished with painting doors and walls and baseboards, and hung a ceiling fan. His price was fair and he honored his word."

Etcetera Home Improvement and Handyman Services... That's who to call when you have one or multiple different projects you need done at your home. Not just a one trick pony, our specialty is that we have many services to offer. That means you can get more done in one shot, instead of using multiple companies for one common goal, and that means saving time and money! With Etcetera, you really can't lose. We do just about every trade you can think of that involves a home, including some plumbing and electrical. So before you call multiple contractors, call Etcetera!

"In June I received bids and decided on Rodney Lewis. He was the highest bid, but I thought I was getting what I paid for. It was decided that I would move out of the house during the work. I paid a deposit of $2500 by Zelle. We agreed in writing and verbally that my son would inspect the work and pay additional funds. There was one room inaccessible at the time, so Rodney agreed to 30 days before completing the work in this room. He completed the work on the ceilings, except the closets and additional room, but he didn't plug holes, texture, even remove switch plates. The painting is very poor quality and definitely needs at least another coat... not to mention the texture that wasn't done. He convinced my neighbor to pay him in full while I was gone, saying we agreed to that, and has not returned to do anything more. He left my house in such a disaster, including construction materials in the bathtub and cleaning paint brushes in my new kitchen sink, that I was unable to return to my home until I hired someone to help clean up his mess. I expressed my dissatisfaction and suggested he correct the painting situation with his return in a month. I thought I was being nice by saying he could start after Labor Day weekend, meaning he didn't need to work the holiday. He used that as an excuse to not return. I am elderly and handicapped, so I will also be pursuing those legal options, as well as the BBB and Contractor License Board"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

It is possible to repair plaster yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster repair is easy in theory but difficult in practice. Applying repair plaster is straightforward, but ensuring the area is prepped properly to receive the new plaster and ensuring that the finished product looks smooth and professional both demand experience. Plus, repairs are especially difficult if you have a textured ceiling or walls. Paying for professional plaster repair is worth the investment if you want your wall to look good as new.

Although their applications are very similar, no drywall compound and spackle are not the same thing. Spackle is a bit thicker and is used to patch holes as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. Joint compound shrinks a bit more and can be more temperamental to spread. However, one benefit is that you can use joint compound as spackle (for small jobs), but you can’t use spackle as joint compound.  

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.
