"Jim did a meticulous job of replacing drywall and insulation from damage caused by a broken water line running over our cathedral ceiling. He textured and painted all the repairs. I can't say enough good about him."

"I bought a Angie's List deal of Handyman Service for $79.  I will say up front that this was worth the money, although if I had been paying full price I might not say that.
I bought the deal and tried to schedule the service for April 7-9, but the first he had available at first was in early May.  Luckily, John had something come open April 23 at 10.  In the back and forth with respect to scheduling, John was prompt in getting back to me.
On April 23, he did not show up at 10.  I realize that workmen frequently have little control over their time when they are on a job. When things go wrong which turn a 20 minute job into 2 hours, they cannot simply leave because the time is up, so I understand tardiness due to those kinds of situations.  By 11:30, I just wanted to get an ETA, so I called him.  I live northeast of Plano in Wylie, in Collin County.  He was half way to Waco.  He had my address and zip code, so I don't know where the confusion arose, although at that time Google Maps was having a problem finding my exact address. He had to turn around and drive in the opposite direction from which he had set out that morning.  It was almost 1 pm before he showed up.  It was not his fault that Google Maps couldn't tell him where to go, but I feel that he should have called me for directions when there was a question.  That is why I rated punctuality as D.
When he arrived, I explained that the first thing that we wanted was drywall repair.  We had a hole where an electric box had been, as well as 3 small cracks above a window and a doorway that appeared the summer we had the 42 days of 100+ heat.  Those areas also needed to be textured, as well as an area about 2&1/2 feet in diameter which had already been repaired.
At that point, he asked where the materials were, because according to the terms of the deal we had to provide our own materials.  I hadn't realized that--I am accustomed to workmen having the materials and charging me for them.  I thought that I had some drywall repair in the garage, but I didn't.  I didn't have the texture for sure.  It was my fault for not reading all of the details, but it might have been nice had he mentioned it when the final date for the work was confirmed.
So, while my husband ran out to Home Depot, with a shopping list, John started by doing some caulking in my bathroom (which I did have the materials for).  When my husband returned, John patched the areas that needed patching, and then finished the caulking as well as doing a couple of other small jobs (I forget what) while the drywall repair dried.
Even though it should have set in 20 minutes, it was still very wet after 45 minutes, and could not be textured.  We asked if he could come back to finish the texturing and we would pay him for the extra time at normal rates.  He agreed.
When I contacted him around June 25 to find out when he could return to do the texturing, he indicated that he could come back May 5, after we wanted to get our house on the market.  I scheduled it, but my realtor called in a favor, so on June 26, I cancelled the May 5 appointment.   (In the end, we got a guy that does dry wall repair exclusively to texture, and he brought in a machine.  It was done before May 1, and the job that he is probably better than anything that could be accomplished with canned texture.)  
We did get the 2 hours of work that we paid for.  John was pleasant enough, but I think I would try someone else before I used him again.  (Although he does know how to get to my house now.)  If I had been given a choice of "Might use again," (rather than a Yes or No to the question would you use him again?), I would have chosen that.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Brick and stucco are a lot more different. You must use picture hanging clips designed for brick walls, or use a plaster rail system with adjustable hooks. Any other type of hanging hardware will cause damage to the bricks behind. You won’t be able to really use nails, either, because they’re not strong enough to go into the bricks.

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.

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.
