"The company is HPP Home Project Pros, owner Darren McComas (formerly House Medic). When I hired Mr. McComas, he didn’t offer a contract and I didn’t ask. My mistake. He is the husband of the dentist who took over my former dentist’s practice so I trusted him. He gave me a quote and I agreed to do the job. He wanted a down payment of half the amount. At the time I said to him that I wouldn’t have to pay again until job completed and he said yes. The job was to take out an old bathtub and install a shower. It’s a small bathroom. After taking out tub, his foreman, Scott Woods, told me that the premade shower piece was too big, and they would have to custom build the shower. For $1,000 more! My tub was out with a hole in the floor! I didn’t have a choice. I texted Mr. McComas that he should have measured. He never responded nor did I ever hear from him again.

At the end of the first week, Mr. Woods asked for more money again. I mentioned that Mr. McComas said I didn’t have to pay more until completed. But then they added more cost to the job which shouldn’t have been my problem. I pointed out things that needed touched up to Mr. Woods. One evening over the phone he threatened to leave the job. I asked how would Mr. McComas feel about that. He responded that Mr. McComas told him he could get his tools and leave when I hesitated about paying more. He again wanted paid in full before he was coming back the following day to finish up. He needed to seal the shower. He left a spray can for me to add another layer. He indicated that it was the homeowner’s job to seal. I had never installed a shower. How did I know how to seal? Well, it was a spray can. He installed the shower head but didn’t check after. My handyman had to adjust the shower head because it was leaking. The curtain rod is a tension rod and has fallen three times. I also think the step into the shower should be a little deeper so the water won’t leak out from around the shower curtain. I would not use them again and do not recommend them."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

All plaster walls will crack over time with expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes, as well as from normal house settling. In these cases, the cracks will usually be thin and don’t mean there are major structural issues. However, excessive cracking, wide wall cracks, and cracks that span around corners can sometimes mean you have a foundation issue. Identifying severe problems is a key reason why hiring a professional for plaster repair is usually a good idea.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

Plaster walls last 30 to 70 years, although expertly applied and well-maintained plaster can last for centuries. That’s why it’s important to leave plaster installation to a pro, treat cracks as needed, and have a pro inspect any concerning cracks as soon as possible. These efforts can greatly extend the life of your plaster walls for decades to come.
