Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Scott to repair a roofing problem that resulted in an exterior door also needing replacement. He went above & beyond by picking up the new door for me at no additional cost, and took the initiative of taking care of a couple other minor issues he spotted while he was doing the contracted work. He was prompt, efficient and even started earlier than planned. He was very responsive to coming back to take care of a slight problem after the work was completed. I would recommend him to anyone and will hire him again for other projects."

"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

"Contractor replaced the gutter along the front of the house and replaced one of the railings on the steps to the front porch. Both the gutter and railing had been torn off and/or damaged when ice broke loose over the porch, slid down and took out both. Brendon offered to do the repairs for a fair price and got to the work within a couple days of submitting a quote. I'll use him again for a couple other projects at this property in the spring."

"With tremendous confidence and enthusiasm, I unequivocally recommend Northeast Ohio Renovations as a trusted professional contractor. I recently purchased a home that needed extensive repair work, and as part of the purchase agreement, I assumed responsibility for all outstanding building code violations. I was granted 90 days to complete the work, under threat of serious legal repercussions. After meeting with eight distinct contractors and reviewing their proposals, I elected to commission Mr. Bob Hegedish’s firm, Northeast Ohio Renovations, for a new roof and vinyl window replacement. From the very onset, Bob presented the most comprehensive, competitive, and cost-effective proposal of the bunch, and I could tell right away that I was in capable hands. It’s no secret that the home renovation space is often teeming with scheisters and snake oil salesmen, but Bob is one of the good guys. Not only did Bob come through on time and under budget, the final work was absolutely exquisite. Bob and his team really came through when I needed them, and when it mattered most. Northeast Ohio Renovations gets stellar reviews for good reason. I have already recommended them to personal friends and family members, because I know they will be thrilled with the deliverables. Moreover, I will contract them again for future work without hesitation. Do yourself a favor and consider Bob for your next renovation project. I have little doubt that he will do everything in his power to earn your trust and delight you with impeccable results."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

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.
