"My husband and I needed a painter to completely repair and paint a condo and we needed it done quickly!. From our initial contact via phone to completion of the project, Adrian was the consummate professional! During our very first conversation, Adrian gave a brief overview of his background, his experience and his work ethic. When we first met at the project, my husband and I were convinced we wanted to hire Adrain and AS Painting for the job! He listened to what we expected, made some suggestions and clearly outlined his plan of action. He kept us apprised daily of his progress with texts and pictures. He more than exceeded our expectations with the quality of his work! We were thrilled to find our new home in such a superior condition at our first viewing! Adrian not only is an expert at his trade but is such a delightful, friendly person to work with. He is simply a joy to deal with! For several upcoming projects, Adrian and AS painting will be our first call!"

"EXCELLENT CONTRACTOR. My project was drywall installation during a bathroom remodel. I chose Golden Rule after reading the reviews and obtaining an estimate. The price matched the budget I had set for this part of the project. The work was performed during four visits over four days (drying periods are required for drywall). Michael showed up on time each day. He was very polite and very helpful with explanation of drywall techniques and also offered advice on other household repairs I might need. The final product was perfect and ready for painting. I am very pleased and would not hesitate to use Golden Rule for any future projects."

"I had a water leak that ruined 2 ceilings and a wall. It included both plaster and Sheetrock. The 3 men were very professional and did excellent work. Looks like new again. They were great keeping me informed of the process. They also were excellent at cleaning up the job site. I will definitely hire them again."

"I had hired Richard's company to install a new fan in our bathroom.  They installed the fan but chipped the plaster around the edge of the fan and then left the plaster on the floor covering it with the bathmats.  I didn't intend to use NE Renovations again, but decided that all of the glowing recommendations from Angie's List must not be wrong.  I contacted Richard to install a new kitchen faucet the I had purchased. I told him about the plaster issue.  He came and installed my faucet when he said he would.  Several weeks later I emailed him to ask when he was going to send the invoice and he told me that he was not going to charge me because of the previous issue.  This kind of customer service is hard to find these days."

"I cannot tell you how extremely satisfied I am with my new bathroom and the great work that you did. I can’t wait to get you back out here again in the future when I am ready to do my second bathroom and other various remodel projects I have! I also cannot express how professional and excellent Dominic was. He came and showed up exactly when he said he would on all scheduled days. He kept the place clean, never leaving a mess. Provided great design ideas and was very patient. He is an excellent professional, job well done!!! Best, Leah (A very satisfied and happy customer)"

"Justin was very professional, competent and thorough. He took pictures of the the issues with my skylight so that I could fully understand the problem and set up a time the very next day to repair it. He was very fair in his pricing and his communication was excellent. He knows what he is doing and does it in a very timely manner. I would also give him high marks for his accountability and promptness. I will definitely hire him again."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.
