"Exploring for home maintenance work, I tapped into Angis List and contacted two suggested service companies. Oreo was prompt to contact me for details on the job. He pursued an onsite visit and noted all concerns followed by a same day bid by email. I received followup calls over a period of 3 months, finally determining to complete the projects in October 2024. Once the decision was confirmed, the project specialist reviewed the list of work on site the same day the contract was signed. My home was scrapped and painted, shutters removed and repainted, along with repairs to the eves, replacement of porch light frames and restoration of a desperately deilapidated fence. Communication and integrity are earmarks of this service agency. Both the contractor and the worker completing the project, were consistent in keeping me informed of the project and pursuing my approvals as the work progressed. The work quality was exceptional. I would recommend Oreo Maintenance without hesitation, Great Job Guys, reminiscent of the past 2 generations of pride taken in the craft and the job. Always put your name on your work. Thanks!"

"I would highly recommend David Nesmith as a drywall finisher and as a painter. I contacted Mr Nesmith about repairing some drywall taping that was poorly done. Mr. Nesmith came out the same day to look at the project and give me a quote. His quote was vey reasonable so I asked him to do the job. His work was excellent and he is very meticulous and there was no mess to clean up. I also asked him to paint a hallway. Mr Nesmith was prompt in returning my phone call and he completed the job in the time he stated he would. I will definitely be calling him again for any painting or drywall needs that arise."

"We hired SAL to install new ceramic tile floors in our hall bath, master bath, & master hallway. They also put in new 3/4 cherry hardwood floors in my master bedroom. The craftsmanship was immaculate. He shows up on time, worked on my job everyday till it was done, cleaned up at the end of the day, & most importantly was very respectful to me & my family. I am so pleased with the work that I would recommend SAL to everyone!!!! Great work, great price, great guy!!!

"The  project went VERY well.  the painting crew was punctual and professional.  The whole project took approx 8-9 days.  As I stated before, a good amount of wall prep was needed, including some plaster repair.   To get all the walls ready for painting, the wall repair was done on both a Saturday and a Sunday...so the painters could come in on a Monday.  In a few areas, a lighter color was being painted over a 'darker' color - and needed more than two coats - Crew of World Painting recognized that issue - and proceeded to simply do what was necessary  - for the painting to look "right".   Great job, beautiful result."

"I hired the company to do a make ready [clean up & prep] on a single apartment in a building which I own in the  town where I live. I needed the property to be cleaned up so I could rent it again.  I have been a landlord for over 20 years & hadn't found a vacated property in such a mess in all my years. They did the complete interior clean-up which took about five hours. And, the complete prep of the property. they took out all the trash & junk, and cleaned up all debris left in the yard. They did such a great job with that I decided to use them for the yard maintenance also. They cleaned all my flowerbeds & got them ready for spring, placed mulch & trimmed the shrubs and flowering trees. On the inside they made everything look brand new! Cleaning the walls, painting, cleaned the carpets & stripped & polished the wood floors...making them look brand new. The appliances that stayed were cleaned inside & out. They even remembered to get all the light fixtures clean for me. Dusted all window seals & doorways. Shine mopped all they tile floors. To top it all off they even gave the bathrooms a fresh clean look by putting a new caulk seal around the tubs, sinks & shower...which gave the bathrooms a fresh face. All in all I found it to be a very stress free pleasant experience. And, I will definitely call on them for the next project because if they could do so well with a nightmare like that I'm sure the less difficult will be equally affordable and easily handled. Everything just looked so nice when they were finished. Thanks, Green Earth

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Prioritize plaster repair near rooflines and chimneys, as active water leaks quickly expand the damage. Next, inspect ceilings in pre-1950 homes for plaster separating from the wood lath. Falling ceiling sections pose a serious safety hazard and require immediate professional attention. Finally, seal the areas around original single-pane windows before the harsh Springfield winter arrives to prevent condensation from destroying your walls.

Helpful?

Combining plaster repair with electrical, HVAC, or insulation upgrades is highly beneficial. Plumbers and electricians must open walls to replace old wiring or run new ductwork. Adding blown-in insulation also requires drilling into your walls. Sequence these structural and utility upgrades first so you avoid repairing the same surfaces twice. Schedule this work between May and September to ensure the Springfield weather supports proper curing.

Helpful?

The success of plaster repair depends heavily on addressing Springfield weather challenges. The region experiences frequent freeze-thaw cycles and extreme temperature shifts that cause untreated cracks to reopen. You must fix any moisture leaks from roofs or windows first. For homes in historic neighborhoods, matching the original lime or gypsum materials is essential to prevent future cracking. Always ensure the underlying wood lath remains secure.

Helpful?

Always test for lead paint and asbestos before starting plaster repair in older IL homes. State and federal regulations require strict safety protocols when disturbing these hazardous materials. If you live in a designated historic district, contact the local planning department to verify exterior or interior modification rules. Furthermore, assess your foundation, as the expansive clay soil in Sangamon County causes ongoing structural movement and wall cracking.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake is performing plaster repair during an IL winter without proper heating. Applying materials in temperatures below 40 degrees prevents proper curing. Another major error involves patching over water damage without fixing the leaky roof or chimney first. Homeowners also frequently ignore failing wood lath or expansive clay soil settlement issues. Test for lead paint and asbestos before sanding older walls to protect your health.
