I was offered 2 choices make it look good or make it as good as new. I chose the good as new since I plan to live in my house for a long while. It was a big job taking a full 5 days (about 65 man hours), 2 days for the living room and a day for each of the bedrooms. The plaster has to cure for 30 days before priming and painting, which I did myself. If you desire Bestwall Plastering will do the priming for you.
I could of had the old plaster ripped out and sheet rock installed for less money but I wanted to keep the integrity of the house and I like the advantages of plaster over sheet rock e.g. low sound transmission, better fire resistance. It was amazing to see the difference the repair made, the cracks were all gone, water damage invisible, and small gaps gone. After the priming and painting the ceilings were beautiful and probably looked like they did 100 years ago.
My one complaint is that small droplets of plaster on the walls weren't cleaned up in two of the bedrooms. The floors, walls, and furniture that was unable to be removed are protected by plastic sheeting. On the days that these bedrooms were done there was only one laborer and small splashes of plaster on the walls were missed and not wiped up. I cleaned them off latter myself using a drywall mud knife.

Tony uses the old fashioned way to repair plaster, using disks drilled into the lath with 4-inch screws, and then uses a mesh which is later smoothed over with plaster. Nobody had ever repaired my house this way. The result is spectacular.
My house, located in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1828, had lost many historic details in the past. Fortunately, the way Tony did the work, we were able to save and restore the 10-inch ceiling molding as well.
As to cleanliness, Tony used every precaution--covered my tenant's large paintings and removed and numbered the ones small enough to take out of the room, to later replace them where they belong. He also covered the floor, staircase and entrance.
Amazing professionalism, punctuality and work quality. Deserves an A+, were that available.
And yes, I'll hire him again, to paint the ceiling once it's dry, and to repair my stairs ceiling plaster, where it's cracking around a bend.

Kieran's work is exemplary. He is a true professional, and stands behind his work. We followed his advice to wait two to three weeks before painting to allow the plaster to cure. At the end of the curing period, we were getting set to paint, and noticed parts of the finish on one wall did not look as smooth as the others. I described it to Kieran as looking like the veins on the back of your hand. He came the next day to assess the problem, and repaired the sections that needed it that same day. The problem did not recur. Since then, the room has been painted and looks fine.
We chose Bestwall Plastering because of the excellent reviews from other Angie's List customers, and feel confident in giving them the same excellent recommendation.
