Real plastering on old Boston-area homes - skim coats, ceilings, blown keys and drywall repair - finished so you cannot tell where the damage was.
Send a couple of details and we'll come back with a written price. Photos help but are not required.
Most people want a real price and a date they can count on. That is all this is.
Call, or send the form with a photo if you have one. A minute of your time and no sales visit unless you want one.
Fixed, itemised, in writing. You will know what it costs before anyone picks up a trowel.
Dust controlled, floors protected, tidied up at the end of every day.
Plastering is the specialism. Most painters cannot do it, which is why we get called in after them.
Cracks, bowing walls, blown keys and failed old plaster. Skimmed flat and finished so the repair disappears rather than showing through the paint.
Sagging, cracked and water-damaged ceilings on older homes. Repaired or replaced depending on what the lath underneath is actually doing.
Leaks, ice dams and burst pipes. Damaged material out, the cause checked, and rebuilt so the stain does not come back through.
Installation, repair and taping to a finish level that will not telegraph under a gloss or a dark colour.
Full prep, premium paint, clean lines. The part most people judge, done by people who also fixed the wall underneath.
Sprayed, hard-wearing finish on existing kitchen cabinets - a fraction of replacement and done in days.
This exterior lantern was stripped, prepped and refinished rather than masked off and sprayed past. It is the detail work that tells you who did the job.
Every one of these is theirs. Tap any photo to see it full size.
Usually repaired. It depends on whether the plaster has come away from the lath behind it. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, because replacing a whole wall that only needed a skim is an expensive mistake.
On a small hairline crack it is fine. On anything structural it shrinks, cracks again in a season and you pay twice. Old plaster wants plaster.
It depends on the size and what is behind it, which is why the quote is free, written and fixed. You get a real number, not a range.
Most ceiling and wall repairs are one to three days on site. Skim coating a whole room depends on its condition - the quote will say.
No. We seal the work area, control the dust and clean up daily so you can keep using the rest of the house.
Constantly - most of Greater Boston is older housing stock. Homes built before 1978 can contain lead paint, which changes how the work has to be done. Tell us the age of the house and we will explain exactly what that means for your job.
