John Q. says, "We hired Eric to do some needed repairs on a 150 year old house which is being fixed up for sale. The house has plaster and lath throughout - the old kind with horse hair.
Eric initially bid on the repairs based on the pictures I sent via Thumbtack. These were the worst areas needing fixing but I was hoping for more. Eric and his team did not disappoint. They did an amazing job on the serious damage (e.g., ceiling caving in, water damage from old leaks, plaster coming down and stress cracks). They went beyond this, however, and fixed numerous other cracks and damage of varying degrees.
The bedroom which had part of its ceiling start caving in looks brand new -- probably the best it's looked in 100 years. The living room which had water damage (with 10.5 foot ceilings) looks new. The chimney which had paint bubbling due to moisture leaking down the brickwork looks great. And I could go on.
The whole crew (Eric, Gary, Mick and Micah) was friendly, professional and proficient. Eric has previous telecom experience and is fun to talk to. He also knows a lot about plastering, which was his family's business.
What probably set Eric apart the most from other plasterers who came and looked at the job was his excellent judgement and sense of what's appropriate for each situation. He used the right tool for each job, keeping costs down while producing excellent results. His final cost was a fraction of what other plasterers had warned me to expect.
I would heartily recommend Eric and his team for any plastering work you need to have done.
Why does Thumbtack turn all of the pictures upside down? : )"See more
