My primary business is consulting on buildings that have construction defects that allow moisture intrusion, rot, mold, etc. I also work with builders on new buildings to assist in the sequencing and selection of products to prevent moisture intrusion, promote long-term building performance, ie., concrete curing, roof flashing, window and door installation, moisture barriers, basement waterproofing, etc.

"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

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.

Drywall can be better than plaster if you’re installing a new wall and want to keep costs low. It’s much cheaper than installing plaster and provides a smooth, uniform surface. Many homeowners simply paint over the drywall or add a texture like sand or orange peel. It’s also much easier to DIY than plaster, and if you need to change your layout, it’s much easier to remove.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Yes, to some extent, you can speed up the time it takes plaster to dry and cure. Choose a time of year when humidity levels are somewhere in the middle, neither too high nor too low, to allow moisture to evaporate from the plaster effectively. Also, open a window or set up a fan in the room to improve ventilation.

Don't use a dehumidifier in an attempt to speed up drying time, as a dehumidifier may suck moisture from the air too quickly, leading to crumbly plaster.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.
