"When confronted with a crisis because of a copper plumbing burglary, Mr. Grady, of Grady's Painting, Plastering and Construction, willingly traveled many miles to come to my aid. Requesting only a $1.00 deposit against a $4,500.00 job, he masterfully reconstructed my nineteenth century lath and plaster hallway wall, also thoroughly compensating for a missing portion of a central stud unwittingly removed by a plumber! After his extensive search for appropriate composition and dimension of material, he replaced and replicated a section of my forty-year-old faux onyx tub surround with common white PVC sheet, tinted oil-based colors, glaze, paint brush, and a rag. His applied natural talents and superlative skills saved me thousands of dollars! On the basis of both professional conversation and knowledgeable observation, Mr. Grady possesses the intrinsic knowledge of old-world trades, the artistic capabilities, the problem=solving thought processes, and the personal work ethic to accomplish a broud scope of reconstruction and restoration."

"George and his crew did an outstanding job! They were prompt, courteous, professional and really seemed to enjoy their work. George came to meet with us to estimate the work and provided us a quote within 1 business day. From estimate to completion, the team completed the job in 5 business days.
After day 1 we didn't like one of the colors we had chosen after seeing it on the walls. We talked with George about it and he was very accommodating, and just wanted to make sure we would be happy with the final results. This was a big change, but George only charged us for the cost of replacing the paint.
Overall, we were extremely happy with the quality of the work and would highly recommend George's painting to others!

"The overall experience was exceptional. Luis meet with my wife and I and did a walk thru of the property and provided us with an estimate within an hour of the walk-thru. I already had heard excellent things about his company from numerous co-workers who had FDC paint their home. I truly feel like we got an extreme value in terms of the service we received for the price. Since our house was a new build, we had a number of cracks and nail pops associated with the home settling. Also, entire house to include walls ceiling and trim was a blah beige. Needless to say, FDC had their work cut out for them. Luis and his team skimmed and sanded all these areas and repaired the drywall making the necessary repairs as part of their prep work. Once painting had begun, he provided a daily up date on the project and sent pictures. We meet on numerous occasions to go over things and I was blown away by he and his crews attention to detail. He not only meet the deadline but was able to get the whole house done a day early. He and his team treated our home like it was their own. Not a single corner was cut and he went above and beyond to make the house perfect. I recommend Luis and FDC Proffesional Painting to anyone who is looking to transform their home and eliminate all stress. Don't waste your time calling multiple painters to get estimates so you can haggle pricing. Just call Luis and he will work with you to meet your needs at your budget. Additionally, all work is backed by a 3 year warranty so if there are any issues or our scratch a wall moving in he and his team will come back and make touch ups or repairs free of charge. My wife and I plan to have FDC come back in the winter to paint our finished basement."

"Lemus Contracting was hired to repair drywall and a textured ceiling damaged from a major leak in my office, as well as two large fluorescent lights there were pulling away from the ceiling due to prior water damage, and another area of the ceiling that was damaged.  He replaced all the drywall, a large section of the ceiling and painted when the work was complete.  From the moment I contacted him, met him for the estimate to the completion of the job, Alex was professional and very considerate of my time and schedule.  Alex (owner) and his men showed up every day when scheduled and were always polite and cleaned up each evening before they left.  Alex did an amazing job and anyone walking into the office would never be able to tell there was ever any damage.  With his reasonable prices, and professional work ethic, I will absolutely use his services again."

"We used CRS Painting previously to paint a powder room and were very pleased with that work (reflected in an earlier review on Angie's List).  We hired them to come back this August to do the work described above.  Once again, they did an excellent job.  Gerardo and his crew are prompt, courteous, professional and efficient.  They cover flooring, carpets and other areas before they start painting to ensure that these items remain clean.  They work quickly and, to the extent possible, are not very intrusive - they limit themselves to their work area and don't use other areas (e.g. wash basin in basement) without first asking permission. The job went off without a hitch except that, once the paint dried, we were able to see a faint line in the paint on one wall.  Gerardo arranged to come out one afternoon after I came home from work to take a look.  He brought another crew member with him and, after looking at the wall, decided the best way to handle the problem was to repaint the entire wall - which they did that afternoon/evening.  This resolved the problem and he never asked for additional money. We were very impressed with his work and the company.  Gerardo handles the field work and Valerie handles appointments, billing, etc.  We will use them again and we recommend them to anyone who needs a painting contractor.

"First I'd like to give Rick a lot of credit, as the owner he was extremely responsive and responded promptly to any calls or emails we sent.
We hired Rick based off of the reviews on Angie's List.  We needed our kitchen and living room ceiling and walls painted, along with some crown molding to be installed in the living room.  While most of the job was done well, there were a few issues that caused some concern for me.
1.  My wife and I left a few large items in the family room (entertainment center and our sectional).  My wife and I had everything prepped for the crew to start as soon as they arrived (and even hung some plastic ahead of time due to dry-wall work being done in a house with small kids).  After an hour or two, it was pointed out to me by our nanny that the sectional wasn't properly covered, which I had instructed them to make sure they did (my wife had bought several packages from Home Depot for them to use).  I made it very clear to cover everything.  When I walked into the room there was an enormous gap between two pieces of plastic that they had taped together exposing the top of the sectional - which at this point had dry wall dust and little chunks littered all over the sectional inside.  I didn't make a big deal out of this, and had some of the crew help us move the sectional out of the room and spent the next 30 minutes cleaning it.
2.  Around 8PM that night we received a call from our neighbors behind us that our faucet/hose was running in our back yard and was flooding their yard.  From the amount of water that was there, it looked like this had been running for several hours - in addition to the large amount of paint run-off from the crew cleaning stuff.  Our neighbors were quite distraught because they were in the final steps of selling their home.  Rick took my call at 8:30 or so that night and I had informed him of what happened - he was very apologetic (not his fault), but understood my disappointment of letting water run like that and the fact that i had just laid down seed trying to get the grass to grow in that area from a ground down stump this summer.  If our neighbors hadn't informed us of the water, it would have run all night and potentially caused damage to our property and our neighbors. 
3.  The final straw for me and what made me decide to write this review, was what I discovered during the final walk-through (and have found elsewhere since the job was completed).  While doing the final walk-through I discovered multiple drips on the trim, which I confirmed was from this job (paint was still somewhat wet when I chipped it off with my fingers).  Most troubling though, was the tape they had left on our trim...and painted over it.  I was able to find about a 10-12inch piece during the walk-through...however, since that time I found one other spot that they (painters) left on and simply painted over it.  I also spent a few hours having to touch up a lot of spots on the walls that were easy spots to see, corners/edges that had ceiling paint on the walls, and spots that just weren't taken care of near the ceiling lights in the kitchen.
4.  I'm not sure if this is the industry standard in interior painting, but when I was hanging some frames on the walls a few days ago I noticed that the top of the molding wasn't painted.  Again, I have no idea if this is the "norm"...but another item I found and kinda just shook my head at.
I'm a firm believer in taking pride in the work that you do.  Treat every home as if it was your own when it comes to projects like these.  Unfortunately I didn't get that feeling with Rick's crew looking at the quality of work that was performed in our home.

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

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.

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.
