Gilson was great. Came on time, was professional. My ceilings look great. But Gilson was a master at dust control and clean up. There wasn’t a speck of dust when he was done each room.
Gilson is a true 5 star hire. He responded quickly, showed up at my house the next day to review the project and gave a very good quote. We agreed to move fwd and he showed up exactly on time the 2 days he was here working. He was clean, respectful, and the walls and ceiling he finished are incredible. Smooth with basically zero imperfection, and with details in certain sections executed exactly as discussed.
I’ve already recommended him to a friend, and he already finished that job too! Will 100% be calling Gilson back for my next drywall and plastering project, and would highly recommend him to anyone else looking for a true pro’s pro.

GF plastering,
Did a great job of replacing a portion of my ceiling in the living room that was warped because of a leak coming from the 2nd floor bathroom. They were willing to collaborate with me on the cost of the job, and provided a detailed explanation of what work would be done to fix the ceiling. I would recommend them in the future.

Gilson did an amazing job removing my popcorn ceiling! In addition, he pointed out some damage to the ceiling that was hidden behind the popcorn and was able patch it to make it look like new. Very reasonable prices and very professional, on time!
