"I had a very fast response when I put in for the project. He was very open to the work I wanted done and showed up everyday to get the job done. The deck looks amazing and way better than before. Would definately hire Castle Construction and Frame again if needed. Picture added from old to new."

"Carmen and his team were at our home to install drywall and we hired him separately to do our fireplace stone install. His attention to detail and hard work ethic is unseen these days. He did a beautiful job, worked with us to pick the perfect grout color, design of the stone, etc. and then cleaned up so nicely each day. After building a house, we’ve seen the full range of contractors and Carmen stuck out as one of the really professional ones! Can’t recommend enough!"

Contacted and he returned call the same day.. He was busy, but when he got time to call he did.. He said he would come over the following day and look at the job and if I wished he would give me a quote...  Which he did, and I chose to take his bid...   He said he was extremely busy, but could be able to start the project within the week...  He phoned me a few days later and asked if he could start the following day...  Of coarse I chose to take the start day, since I needed ceiling done before wife could start to paint and have carpet installed...  He came over as described, started in and got everything set on Saturday and asked if it would be alright to come back on Monday to finish the job...    Ok by me and he had to do a lot of leveling, since I had had water damage when I had purchased the home...   I have had quite a few homes, not just my living home, but have had rental property also, and have had many plasterers...  He is fantastic...  The only other plasterer I have ever had I no longer can find...  I think he must have moved out of our area, so got Dennis's name from Angie's List and thought I'd try him...   He has now done my basement bathroom, a soffit area in the kitchen and now the living room...   You should know I had never met or heard about him until I got on Angie's List in January or February...   First time he came here he did the bathroom and the soffit area and I was so pleased with that -- I called again to get his availability...  He has a great personality, will answer any questions, and very professional...   Work done speaks for itself...


If you need a plasterer and want a great job -- don't be afraid to call him..  He does top notch work and I'm sure, as I too, am very fussy what I pay and get from others...   You will be pleased with your outcome...

Should you wish to see his work before calling him..   Call me at 815-218-0214 and I'd be more than happy to show you  some of his work...    You will agree...

"Progresive Restoration did a great job on our condo building. Marcus and his team are extremely hard-working and communicate often. There was never any confusion about our project and they paid attention to every detail from when they started on the estimate to completing the job. Overall great experience working with Progressive Restoration."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Contractor – Highly Recommended! I’ve worked with many contractors over the years, but Nick stands out as the absolute best. From start to finish, his professionalism, communication, and speed are unmatched. Unlike many handymen who need to figure things out as they go, Nick comes in with a clear plan, provides a fair quote, and delivers exceptional results—often ahead of schedule and on budget. We started with a full roof replacement, and even the inspector commented that it was “better than most roofing contractors.” The job was completed in just a few days, and the quality was top-notch. Since then, Nick has completed a wide range of projects at my home, including a full bathroom renovation, electrical work, landscaping, drywall, and painting. His drywall and finishing skills are especially impressive—everything looks seamless and professionally done. What’s more, my entire family has began using this guy!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

Wall anchors are suitable for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. However, different wall materials may require specialized anchors. For concrete or masonry walls, you'd typically use concrete anchors. When dealing with other wall types, such as brick or tile, specific anchors designed for those materials may be necessary. Always consult with a hardware specialist or check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you select the appropriate anchors for your specific wall type.

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.
