"They only charge $1,000 for the entire roof of my garage, and it was a good deal. This included removal of all the old shingles, and hauling all of the used material off the property to the dump. -Debra Castrinos"

"I am very pleased with the quality of work performed considering that Mother Nature was not cooperating. The contractor, who is a carpenter and painter, also suggested repairs to the exterior of my house that I have been aware of but have put off. I highly recommend using this contractor for all your house repairs and replacements."

"High Tech recently re-brownstoned the co-op that I live in on 83rd Street and did an amazing job.  The price that we got from High Tech was about half of what we were quoted from the next lowest bidder, but the work ended up being so beautiful that people walking by our building are stopping to take photos.  High Tech reconstructed all of the old brownstone details that had been worn off and totally lost over the years.  These guys were artisans and asked me for very old photos of the building, which they used to re-create the designs of the building details.  It took a bit longer than I expected but It turned out so great!!!  I never expected that they could bring our building back to it's former glory, especially given the reasonable price.   Come walk by and take a look.
A couple of years ago High Tech had done our stairs, which also came out beautiful.  They got the detail right on that too.  The brownstone stairs look so nice, they have rounded edges like the most expensive brownstones have.  But again High Tech's price was the most reasonable of the bidders.  The have also done some other smaller jobs for us such as re-pointing and again I was very satisfied with both the quality of the work and with the price.
Oh, I almost forgot.  The electric company did some work on our block and chipped tiny bits off of the new stairs and High Tech came and repaired it at no cost.  I was very impressed with that since it totally above and beyond.

"Rick removed a very large wall unit air conditioner from our family room wall. He repaired the hole in the wall perfectly. No one would ever believe that a repair was done. Rick's work is impeccable. He is a real perfectionist. Rick is also an excellent listener/communicator who makes good eye contact, giving you his full attention. He works very quietly and comes to the job fully prepared for the task at hand. We highly recommend him to others. He is very professional in all ways and is just a really nice person."

"Centerline has outstanding workmanship. They are the best, hands down. The next time I buy a house, I will not solicit other estimates. I considered a number of houses before deciding to purchase my current home. Shawn and Chuck met with me at every property and advised me on the sorts of updates each would require and what the costs would be. This was SO helpful. I finally bought a 3-bed house with two inadequate bathrooms, about 2,000 square feet overall, in Lakeville, CT, in fall 2017. Centerline outlined the work by priority, brought code violations to my attention, and shared their good advice on where my renovation / updating budget would be best spent. Centerline did both big and small projects, upgraded electrical, fixed wonky plumbing, re-roofed the whole house, and renovated both bathrooms. Centerline even matched a low-ball quote I had gotten from a local painter to patch and paint the entire interior. Centerline does exquisite work! The walls were in such bad shape. I ended up with a $25K interior plaster skim coat and gorgeous paint finish that cost me a mere $7K. The Centerline crew fixed every nail pop, smoothed every bad bit of drywall! The walls are perfect and whole house looks and feels 1,000-percent better. The house had two existing bathrooms, but neither had a bathtub. Chuck ingeniously found a way to carve out a niche in the first-level powder room to add a bathtub (preserving the existing tile floor, no less!) and voilà, I now have a full bath that is accessible for anyone in the public areas (kitchen or living room) while it also functions as an ensuite for the master bedroom. The second floor has a balcony overlooking the large living room below. The railing here was not up to code when I purchased the house. Because the railing was so visible, Chuck and Shawn helped me see how replacing it could be a design opportunity (in addition to meeting code!) The new railing inspired us to change all the door hardware to match, and now the house really pops! EVERYTHING is fresh and new and appropriately coordinated. When Shawn suggested to me that the second-floor bath (with 30-year-old ripped brown vinyl flooring) would look tired and dated once all the other work in the house was done, and that I should consider a cosmetic re-do of this room, I balked. I did not think I could afford it, but she suggested a number of great cost-saving methods to stretch my budget. The room is fabulous and the cost was minimal! Centerline replaced a code violating sink and vanity with a stylish gray vanity and sink, added a new faucet, new toilet, a code-required GFI switch, new vanity lights, and new luxury vinyl flooring (goodbye brown vinyl!) to complement the existing floors in the house. The crew also re-grouted the hand-molded tile in the shower stall, which made it look brand new! Every fixture and feature of this room (which also benefited from the new paint job!) was upgraded at a fraction of t"

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.

Depending on how much adhesive was used as well as the strength of the adhesive, you may have some drywall damage when removing a mirror. You can typically repair most drywall damage if it’s small by sanding the damaged area, applying spackle to smooth the damaged section so it’s flush with the rest of the wall, and repainting the area.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Wondering who to call for ceiling repair? While you can hire a handyperson to fix minor cracks, you’ll want to hire a drywall professional for larger issues. Depending on the cause of the crack, you may need to hire other contractors, such as a foundation contractor, mold remediation company, roofer, or plumber near you.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.
