AJ Drywall & Plastering

Joe has been doing work for me for a few years. I met him from doing the work. I call Joe a good friend today. His team are the most polite, professional gentlemen you’ll hire to enter your house! Thanks for the A+ workmanship and solid friendship! -Rob Z

I'm contracting my own new construction home, and doing so for the first time, and frankly was a bit nervous to find some of the contractors online rather than local guys I'm referred to. I needed a contractor to board and plaster my entire 1800sqft house. Joe at AJ Drywall & Plastering totally alleviated that concern once his crew showed up and I saw the quality of work they perform. Great communication, very friendly crew, and quality plastering. I appreciated that Joe was on site for much of the work and inspected frequently. He's a stickler for quality, I didn't even notice some of the items he wanted to come back and take care of as it cured. Again, super pleased with Joe and the team and will absolutely recommend to others.

Excellent! Joe is very professional and he completed the repair in one day. He was punctual and professional. We are so very pleased with his work. He took great care to cover the rugs in the hallway, the appliances in the kitchen and completely covered then cleaned the hardwood floor upon completion of the job. The ceiling looks brand new. We are very happy and will contract with him again.

This was our 1st time needing damage - repair services, thus our first time working w/ Joe & his crew. Joe made for a greatly stress-reduced situation. Results still hold - 9 years later. Called him to work the other end of house 6 years later. All is good. Now, we are preparing for a voluntary remodel in kitchen. Who are we going to call? Joe-wall-busters!!! That's who!!! I hope you are still working it Joe!

LOVE working with Joe. It's like working with your favorite uncle - brother only better. He just gets it done and doesn't argue.

It was a great experience. the team arrived each morning and worked non-stop. The plaster came out great.

After interviewing several plastering companies, I was given some grim reports about the extensive work needed on my walls. A lot of the plasterers seemed unsure about the work, or at least did not make me feel confident that they were qualified to provide me with flawless walls and ceilings. Just to give a little back ground, I have built 3 other homes before purchasing a 1950' ranch. the second home that I built the plaster work was OK, but not great. The 3rd home that I built the plastering work was amazing. It was so good that my painter praised the plasterer because it made his job that much easier. So when it was time to plaster the wall in my current home, I called the guy who had done the work on my second home (which was also the owner) and unfortunately he was involved in an automobile accident and was not able to do the work. So I was very hesitant to bring someone else in. My expectation, work quality was going to be measured to my previous experience.( so I was concerned) So I interviewed several plastering companies and expressed my concerns relating to the quality of service that I expected. Joe was very responsive when I called, he worked around my schedule to come out and tour the house, He was very confident, professional and made me feel at ease ( mind you I've already met with 3 other companies prior to meeting Joe) both my wife and I knew right away t who we wanted going to go with.(AJ Plaster) one of the issues that I typical encounter when dealing with contractors is their scope of work. most of the time they are not detailed to the scope of work only to later on bicker about what was and what wasn't included in the price. (not with Joe) Joe's proposal was very clear and detailed, he outlined each item and was very specific to the scope.( even though I felt at the end he did more than what was on the scope) The scope covered some 1900 square feet of ceiling and walls. Again this is a very old house and the walls and ceilings were not square, leveled or plumb. in addition there were some areas that needed patch work.(badly) He not only plastered but he also saved me a ton of time and trouble by offering to sheet rock some of the unfinished walls and ceiling that I had not yet have gotten to do. ( not for free) But when he quoted the work it was about the same cost that I was paying for materials and my labor and time was more valuable. (It freed me up to do other things that needed to be done prior to plastering) I was pressed in getting the kitchen cabinets in and the walls and ceilings needed to be plastered before the cabinets arrived. I called Joe and explained to him my situation. ( although Joe was not scheduled for another two weeks to start on my house. He moved his schedule around and was able to bail me out. He said that he was going to start at 7:15 AM. and he showed up on time with his crew every single day until the project was completed ( total of 5 days) Now what about the quality of work ? I did not expect the quality to be the same as my previous plasterer. reason being I couldn't see how it could be any better. WOW was I wrong. Joe brought it up one extra notch. the walls and ceilings looked like glass, they looked so good I didn't feel like they needed painting.. If you are looking for a plasterer. Joe is the real deal.. PS I don't endorse or write reviews, I believe if I pay for a service, I should get what I pay for. However this guy is the real deal, professional and A-1 quality .. THANKS JOE AND YOUR TEAM

Joe and his staff did an amazing job! His work is outstanding every time! Joe is very professional, polite, and punctual. He really cares about his work and does everything to make sure that his customers are happy! We will definitely hire him for future jobs!

We were very pleased with the work.  Excellent quality work and a pleasure to work with.   We walked real estate people through afterward and they were impressed.  Joe came with a big crew and worked pretty fast.  He's easy to work with and very communicative.  He offers his opinion and gives good advice.  I would absolutely hire him again.  He's pretty busy so the lead time was 2-3 months.

It was great! Working with Joe was easy - he showed up when he said he was going to, protected furniture, carpet etc during work, vacuumed after work. The quality of work was great - no one would ever know that this ceiling was patched. He also is very personable which helps when you are having people in your home. Overall a perfect experience - if I need anything ever - I will call him!

Excellent work from Joe and his crew. A good price from people who showed up as agreed and completed the work in a professional manner, including clean up. It was a pleasure to have them.

This winter's storms severely damaged our house. Ice dams ruined almost every ceiling and also badly damaged the walls in 4 rooms. It took the insurance adjuster over 4 hour to properly assess all of the damage. During the inspection, the insurance adjuster spent a great deal of time telling me about the "games" that many contractor play. The adjuster explained what to look for in an honest contractor, including detailing which rooms needed which type of repair.
We ended up meeting with 6 contractors. Three of the contractors suggested to "slap paint on it. It will be fine" . Two of the contractors recommended tearing out everything- even areas with no damage. Enter AJ Drywall. Joe from AJ suggested EXACTLY what the adjuster recommended. He explained the areas that could be patched and explained the areas that needed to get gutted. He explained the areas with mold risk and the areas that were merely cosmetic.
To us, it was a clear choice since Joe was so knowledgeable. We hired AJ Drywall but had to wait several weeks since they were already committed to other projects.
Joe and his crew arrived at exactly the day and time they promised. Before they started any project, they thoroughly taped and tarped the entire house. It was almost funny at the care they took. They were absolute perfectionists.  Joe promised the house would be as clean after they left as it was before.
The entire project took 7 full work days. The size of the crew varied from 2 to 5 people depending upon what was being done. Every single member of the crew was polite, hard working and OBSESSED with protecting the house and furnishings.
At the end of the project , my wife and I studied every part of the work that had been performed. Every bit was perfect. Every drywall repair was seamless. Every paint line was straight. Every ceiling repair was virtually invisible, even the partial patches to textured ceilings. And, as Joe had promised, the house was as neat after they left as when they came.
I 100% recommend AJ Drywall. Joe is a great businessman. He showed when he said he would. He did what he said he would do. He did the exact tasks he promised and he did them well. Joe even communicated well, calling me at work to give daily job updates.
If you have a project that needs to be done right, AJ Drywall is an outstanding choice.

I was very happy the work.
