Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Erick and his team are amazing! Will never use anyone else!! They replaced our damaged and old ceilings (we bought a condo in Boston built in the late 1800s and his team was able to handle all the unexpected challenges) and also painted our ceilings, walls and trims. Reasons why you should use them: 1. From the start, Erick communicated every thing to me on what the work would entail, what could be done/ what couldn’t, his advice based off his experience… extremely trustworthy and not trying to be salesy at all. He also was very patient in all the questions I had and was able to explain everything in terms I would understand (as I am a first time home buyer). 2. He met his deadline and got everything done within two weeks as promised. 3. He sent me pictures everyday with updates on the work since we were not living in the home yet. Super helpful. 4. His pricing is extremely fair 5. He is super knowledgeable and passionate about his work Thanks for making our first home perfect! "

"I’d put off fixing a hole in our kitchen ceiling for months, assuming it would be a multi-day hassle with furniture to move and dust everywhere. I finally found Marcio and Flavio at Master Plastering through Angi.com — first-time user, and wow, what a great experience. They were responsive, insured, and incredibly easy to work with. I asked for quotes on Wednesday, signed on Friday, and by Monday night the job was done — plastered, painted, spotless, and perfect. No mess, no stress, just efficient, high-quality work.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

You can drywall over plaster, but there are some things to consider. First, installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall’s thickness. This could create challenges for window and door frames that no longer fit the wall’s thickness. You may also have to adjust power outlets so they are accessible. When done right, drywall can create a smooth, flat appearance, but it’s best when handled by professionals.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.
