John was excellent! Was very responsive. Showed up on time every time and even had treats for my crazy anckle bitting dogs when he showed up at the door. He was friendly, personable and did the job on schedule as promised. The job ended up costing me a bit more than what I expected and purchased on angieslist. I guess I did not factor the amount of work that needed to go into the job. Overall I was very satisfied and would definitely use him again!

John did excellent work. He removed the damaged part of the ceiling and plastered it, blending it to the existing ceiling so that when I painted it, it didn't look like it had ever been damaged.

He was excellent in communicating and did a fine job with the removal and replastering the stucco. It matched the remaining stucco better than I expected. It wasn't done exactly when I expected but he is very busy and the weather in New England was not cooperative during the period when the work was to be done, causing delays.

I called John, he responded promptly and came at the time he said he would, gave me an immediate estimate, and said he would call when he had an opening. A few weeks later he called and gave us a possible day and time and he would contact us the day before to confirm. He called and said he would be here the next day at 8AM. He actually came at 8:05AM! We were totally suprised since he was the first contractor that we have ever used that came when he said he would. He spent a considerable amount of time cover the floors, counters, rugs and furniture with plastic. he also hung plastic from the ceilings enclosing the work areas. At the completion of the job, he picked up everything and bagged it for the trash. It was remarkably clean when he finished. He did an excellent job in smoothing the distressed area and matching the swirls to the existing ceiling. He also patched several cracks from the sever winter of 2014 again matching the swirls. John was very pleasant to deal with and we would highly recommend him.

Great communication. Came when he said he would to estimate. Called the day before to confirm. Came within 5 minutes of he estimated arrival and spent a considerable time covering floors and all surrounding areas with sheets of plastic. Did an incredible job matching the swirl ceiling after other contractors said it could not be done. Cleaned up all material and area. A true professional.

Mr. Crichton discussed options and made a suggestion about the most cost effective approach.  Because he was patching and not replastering the whole area, he needed to match as best as possible the area around the patches.  The treatment of the patched areas are quite close to the surrounding old plaster.  His work was very good, and the room was left clean.  Mr. Crichton was a pleasure to work with.

John returned my initial call the next day and arranged to come look at the project 2 days later. John (and his assistant) came when he said he would, evaluated the project, gave an estimate and said he could do it the following Monday. Work began on the day and time specified. Plastic sheeting and rosin paper was utilized to keep the house as clean as possible. Work was completed in three hours. Work was high quality and they did an excellent job of cleaning up afterwards. We would recommend John Crichton Plastering without reservation.

We had a little difficulty arranging a time but that was my fault and not his. Once we got in contact and scheduled he was prompt and professional. The overall experience from Quote to Completion was painless.
