"Nathan Nate was fantastic! He did a beautiful and thorough job on the task I hired him for. I then asked if he could do a few handyman repairs for me, like getting a bi-fold closet door back on its track and getting my doorbell to work. He easily completed these tasks. He even found a few things that needed repair that I didnâ t see. All of this was a tremendous help to me as I prepared to sell my home. With his help, my home sold 4 hours after it was listed!"

"First, you can't help but like Heath Slavin. He's upbeat and hustles. There were serious problems with the quality of some of the work performed, however. One long joint where the wall met the ceilng in the attic looked more like a snake than a straight line. I called it to Heath's attention, and he corrected it fine. Their pressure washer broke down and they had to rent a substitute which didn't have the capability of adding cleaner, so the trim up high just got water. The operator of the pressure washer apparently didn't know much about the job, and he stripped paint from wood in a number of places, and even stripped out the top layer of the composite concrete siding. When I called all this to Heath's attention it also was corrected to my complete satisfaction. Additionally, the concrete step was to be two levels, and they did only one, and I'm completely unsatisfied with the one level that actually was done. Unfortunately, I didn't notice this until I had already paid in full for the job and the crew had left. I had difficulty contacting Heath to tell him about this additional problem, and only succeded when I decided to use his wife as a go between. It's been two weeks now since he said he'd come back & fix the steps, and I haven't seen anything of him yet. Finally, most of the crew was very polite and cleaned up after themselves meticulously. The folks who did the concrete (I didn't see who they were) used my hose, left it and the hose wand pretty well covered with concrete residue, and didn't bother to put it back."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.
