"Jeff removed an old backsplash and vanity top. Then plastered and textured my bathroom walls. He also Installed a new quartz vanity top, installed a new faucet and plumbing as well as a new vanity light and mirror. He did a really great job and I’ve already hired him again for a couple of additional projects including a gutter cleaning and roof clean with moss removal. Tomorrow he’s doing some heavy lifting yard cleanup and relocating some railroad tie edge along my driveway. There doesn’t seem to be much he can’t do."

"Palm Construction used subcontractors at every stage (not unusual), but there was little to no oversight. Communication was a problem. I am doubtful that the product (Trex decking) was installed according to **manufacturers guidelines** and worry what that may mean to the longevity of the final product. Some parts of the install were handled brilliantly and with finesse. Other parts were done hurriedly, resulting in damage to the substructure. Palm has made efforts to repair or redo, as necessary, which I appreciate, but some of their promises fell by the wayside."

"This was the third project Anderson's has done for us, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  All of their employees are expert craftsmen at their respective specialties, take great pride in the quality of their work, and exhibit great professionalism.  They show up when they say they're going to show up, work hard, and stick very close to the promised schedule.  At the end of each day, there is a complete clean-up, leaving the house usable and presentable.  (We provided some storage space in the garage for temporary storage of tools and materials.)
Kenny Anderson (owner) operates in a very professional way.  He tries to provide very detailed design specifications, a day-by-day work schedule, and a carefully considered project cost commitment that he is prepared to live with.  The price is adjusted appropriately, of course, (either up or down) as we work with his design consultant, his daughter, early on to make selections of materials, such as tiles, fixtures, etc.  If the customer or workers think of a design improvement during the project, he provides a cost impact so the customer can consider it.  (In our case he provided an improvement, a new bathroom light/exhaust fan/heater unit, at his cost.)
His prices are fair, but not the cheapest around.  (He was not the low bidder on this project.)  However, I think it's a case of getting what you pay for.  The craftsmanship and professionalism displayed by his employees are unbeatable.
The only negative with this job was that Kenny took a couple of weeks to get back to us with the initial cost proposal, and we almost picked another contractor in the meantime.  However, I think that was related to an illness on Kenny's part, and this has not been our experience in the past.
He does stand behind his work, both parts and labor, with a five-year guarantee, and extends that to a lifetime guarantee for repeat customers.  :He was in fact prepared to replace the filter cartridge in a kitchen faucet from a five-year-old kitchen remodel he had done for us, but his employees instead found and fixed the problem by cleaning an in-line filter in a quick disconnect fitting under the sink.  This was investigated and repaired at no cost to us even though the problem was caused by grit in the Federal Way water supply and our 44-year-old galvanized iron plumbing."

"I didn't feel they ever took the time to understanding exactly what we wanted to have done. They seemed to be looking for a big project not just a kitchen remodel. The estimate for our kitchen was 3x our budget.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

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.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
