"We hired Mr. Handyman to paint our gables and soffitt. The employee was inexperienced. After setting up, she approached me and said she had made a mistake and didn't understand that she was painting the gables. The estimate we accepted stated painting 3 gables and soffitts. She said she needed to re-estimate the work. Eventually, we agreed on a new [much higher price that her boss approved.] She did very little work before she went back to the company van and sat in it. The office manager arrived to say that she was sick and someone else would be coming the next morning to do the agreed upon job. He started the job and my husband went to talk to him. He stated he was only doing the gables per his boss. The boss called immediately and was irate. He insisted the work was only to paint the gables. I told him we had both a written estimate and video recording [of the renegotiation] stating the work to be done. He insisted we pay more. I asked why, we already agreed and he hung up on me. "

Our Company is different because our people are different. We strive to give our customers 100% satisfaction. Our goal is to stand out against all competition, not just so we get more business but because we want to be a good testimony for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I have been preaching God's Word for 20 years now, and before that i was privileged to serve in the United States Marine Corps. I have five children that work in the business with me by way of secretarial, website building, and social media, as well as manual labor. I hope you will consider us for your next job!

"Hired this company to come in and clean out brush inside and outside of fence, removal of bushes n stumps, lawn maintenance and future possible landscaping additions. Johnathan's idea of bush and stump removal was to cut the tops off at ground level. When wife asked about a bush, his reply was i don't know I'm not a bush guy. When Johnathan realized he would not be able to remove the stumps he told me he would need to bring a tractor in to do so. I then received a quote for additional charges for same work quoted in the original charge, I also noticed that the original agreed upon quote now had more charges attached without my approval. They were suppose to come back to finish digging out 5 bushes and 2 stumps with a tractor but instead I got a text finally giving me a quote for additional work we talked about but at this time we had already hired in someone else. When informing them of this, all of a sudden it became inconvenient to bring tractor over to finish the job and well they offered a reduction of $187.50. Thus leaving me with 5 bushes and 2 stumps still needing to be removed. This is my story, don't let it be your story. They obviously are not aware that bushes cut off at top grow back and is not a removal but merely a Rejuvenation pruning. They are ill equipped to remove stumps and know nothing about trees, flowers or bushes. They merely know only how to mow and trim, not what they lead me to believe. I thought i was hiring true landscapers not someone to mow, weed eat and spray. Totally misled on this one. I gave one star it was only option. Never showed when said they were coming it was like guessing game"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

All plaster walls will crack over time with expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes, as well as from normal house settling. In these cases, the cracks will usually be thin and don’t mean there are major structural issues. However, excessive cracking, wide wall cracks, and cracks that span around corners can sometimes mean you have a foundation issue. Identifying severe problems is a key reason why hiring a professional for plaster repair is usually a good idea.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Heat can help plaster dry faster, but it's very easy to get too much of a good thing. When exposed to high heat during the curing process, plaster can dry out too quickly, leading to cracks and affecting the material's integrity. The recommended drying temperature should be listed on the plaster's packaging. If possible, set the thermostat in the room to that temperature, but not any higher.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

Repairing plaster walls is almost always worthwhile. Not only will plaster repairs make your walls look new again, but repairs of minor cracks can often reinforce the plaster and help prevent the cracks from spreading and widening. Additionally, hiring a professional to carry out plaster wall repair means they can let you know if the cracking is a result of a severe underlying issue. Catching a problem like foundation instability early could save you thousands, a luxury you wouldn’t have if you just repaired the walls yourself.
