I have an old lathe and plaster walled home and Jeff really helped me out. After someelectrical and plumbing updates that required and quot;explorationand quot; into the walls, I was left with numerous holes and cutouts. Jeff answered my call early in the morning and was able to come over promptly, same day, to give me a quote and had the materials to preform the patching on the spot. He did just that and was an experienced pro. He cleaned up after himself and was a friendly problem solver… just what I needed. I called 4 other providers before I called him because he didn't have many reviews. The other people I called for this service either did not answer or told me things like and quot;I can come over in a week and a half to take a look.and quot; I would definitely have him back. His price was fair, he worked all day and wasn't looking for ways to avoid the work. After dealing with many contractors… that's refreshing.

Jeff was very responsive. When we called to inquire about a price he came out the very same day. He did the work the next day. Jeff was very friendly and professional. He repaired many cracks in our ceiling plaster throughout the house. The work was good quality. We were charged the amount agreed on at the first estimate. He could have been a bit more meticulous about his use of drop-cloths. When the work was finished there were a few crumbs and plaster spots left on the floors. However, once they dried I was able to quickly sweep everything up. I'm sure he would have done the cleanup if I had asked him to. $850 for six hours work seems a little high to me, but it is probably in line with what everybody else is charging.

Very nice job of blending with existing wall ... will be undetectable after it's painted. Have used him several times before, and would always call him first for similar work.

After lots of searching for, and quot;THE ONEand quot; I indeed found,and quot;THE ONEand quot;. Jeff was super nice and very experienced. The guy not only knew what he was doing, but showed me some tricks along the way. His patch work was stellar and honestly, if anyone was to look at the wall, they would never know that there was 3 monstrous holes. One of my favorite things about Jeff is that you can tell that he loves what he does. He is an artist when it comes to Drywall and I would recommend him for your next drywall project. As a matter of fact, I have already passed his info off to my family and friends.

Jeff was referred to me by a plumber, and I have used him on 3 separate occasions over the year and a half. Jeff initially came over about 18 months ago to patched over holes in my garage wall caused by the re-building of my washer hook-ups. I called him back about 9 months ago to repair some holes in the bathroom wall caused by electrical work. And today he was over here repairing a half a dozen holes in my living room wall that measure about 16and quot; square that were caused by additional electrical work. Jeff does very good work and is a pro. He may show up in jeans and a flannel shirt, but he's a smart guy who's been working at this for a few years and you can trust him to do a good job. He's a talkative, friendly guy who loves his work. Every time I call him, he either comes by that day within a few hours, or the next morning. On the last two jobs, I've told him about the repair job with a fair amount of detail over the phone, and he gave me a quote right then, and stuck to it after arrival and completion of the job. I would highly recommend him if your remodeling jobs result in holes in your wall that you would like repaired.

Jeff responded immediately to our Friday afternoon call for help with an urgent drywall project. Water-damaged wall areas needed to be scraped, sealed and plastered prior to installation of a new washer and dryer in our laundry room early next week. He arrived early on Saturday morning and was finished with the project prior to noon. He asked all the right questions and gave us a spot-on quote prior to his arrival. We are thrilled to have found Jeff and very much appreciate his responsiveness and professionalism. We would hire him again because we were so impressed. Thanks for a job well done and on budget, Jeff!

We didn't end up using him but I liked him. He was nice and gave us a bid promptly. We went with the other guy because his bid was a little bit better. He was good on getting the estimate. His price was really reasonable but the other guy was 15-20 percent better.

jeff returned my phone call promptly to talk about getting an estimate and came off as being very professional and legit. as soon as i mentioned that i'd pulled permits for my remodel and his work would be inspected he couldn't get me off the phone quick enough. i can only assume that's a reflection of the quality of his work so i'm glad he won't be doing the job in the end.

Jeff Garfield is great, he is top notch. He is not cheep, but you get what you pay for, if you want a quality job-then use Jeff. I have used him before for our condo and was so happy with his work, I decided to use him on our home projects. Jeff replied quickly to my call, we scheduled work. He came on time and did a great job. The project took a few days and Jeff was prompt, courteous and a hard worker. He is a perfectionist and trustworthy-I even took a nap while he was working in my kitchen.
Description of Work: After my kitchen window was installed, Jeff came over to do the patch repair on the exterior and interior. Both interior and exterior needed to match the existing texture of my 1931 Spanish style home. Jeff further waterproofed, chicken wired and stucco patched the exterior with a Bullnose finish. The interior needed some drywall and he also created a Bullnose finish to match the existing corners on other windows. While he was here, I found a curved corner floorboard he was able to fix for me.

It went very well. He asked for my input, and was happy to adjust some very small things (I am very picky) to make sure I was happy.
Description of Work: I called several companies and made the decision to go with Expert Drywall and Plaster Repair. Jeff responded right away and had the fairest estimate. He showed up promptly and worked pleasantly, quickly and professionally. I had a hole in the plaster in the ceiling above the bathtub. It was complicated slightly because of the deco-type levels around the area. Jeff did a fine job of securing the back of the hole with drywall, and covering it seamlessly with plaster. He did not paint it, which was understood before he did the job.

Jeff Garfield was a very enthusiastic and friendly person who worked diligently for 3 hours getting all the walls patched. I gave him a D for quality because it did not meet up to my expectations. I have seen videos on how to properly repair plaster walls and his methods certainly seemed to have cut a lot of corners. I felt I could have done the work myself and got the exact results he did in about the same amount of time. I hired a professional because I wanted professional results but, you can take a look at the pictures and they will speak for themselves. The patched walls were not flat or flush to the wall but bulged in areas. In his defense, he did have to work around the sinks and pipes, but he knew what the work entailed beforehand and he did tell me he had many years of experience in this field. His bid was lower than others so perhaps I got what I paid for.
Description of Work: Plastered five areas in the home where plumbers broke the wall to re-pipe under sinks in bathroom and kitchen. Holes on walls ranged 1'x2' to about 2'x2'. Old Triplex property that had plaster walls.

When I first called Jeff, I left a message with the description of my situation. He called back the same day and gave me an estimate over the phone. Though he said he won't paint the patched up area, his estimate was very reasonable compared to other companies. Jeff was able to come the following day and finish the job in under 4 hours. He was very punctual, brought all his materials with him, and worked very fast. The ceiling turned out perfect and I could not be happier. Overall, he was one of the most professional and punctual contractors I've had to deal with.
Description of Work: Jeff put in drywall and patched up a ceiling hole that was about 4 by 6 feet in a 1920 Spanish house.

I was looking to get the work done right away and Jeff was available. Jeff said he could start the next morning and complete the job in a single day. I had gotten a better quote, but from someone who could not come right away and needed two days to complete the job. In retrospect the other person might have done a better job, as certain things can't be rushed with drywall, but overall Jeff did a fine job. He was in a big hurry to get out of there and offered to come back and touch up anything that needed it (I am sure he would have) but we did final touch ups and cleaned up thoroughly ourselves. Jeff is a good guy and a skilled crafts person.

Wonderful and prompt. I called Jeff first thing Monday morning (9 am) saying I had a ceiling emergency and he called back at 9.15, saying he would be over to look at the damage at 11.30 AM. He was here at 11 am and not only did he give us an estimate, he repaired both damaged areas on-site at once, started tearing out pieces of crumbly old plaster with his bare hands, with no mask or goggles... A little frightening at first but then he seemed to know what he was doing. He was done by 2.30 pm. There was a big mess afterwards (inevitable in such work!) but he helped us clean up and was good natured throughout. He was proud of his handiwork (it looked very secure). I sent him to my neighbor's, who needed water damage repairs to his ceiling.
Description of Work: A 3 by 3 chunk of the ceiling plaster in our 1905 Craftsman fell down over the weekend. There had been a crack in it for some time but we were lazy about it. Obviously it needed to be patched up by a pro. There was another crack in another part of the ceiling we were worried about and had Jeff look at it also. It was soft and about to give so we had Jeff remove the damaged panels and fix it also.

Jeff showed up right on time as arranged, and brought all the necessary materials and tools, including the stucco color that I'd told him about over the phone. He put down plastic over our concrete patio to catch debris. His years of experience were evident by his efficiency and neatness. The job was done in under 3 hours, including cleanup and sweeping of the work area. Two of the holes were on horizontal surfaces, but he had the correct material and technique to fill those holes without any problem.
Description of Work: Plumbers repaired a copper pipe leak but left 3 sizable holes in the exterior stucco and a piece of drywall cut out. Jeff taped and mudded the drywall, and patched the stucco holes matching the color and texture perfectly.

Jeff returned my call promptly. I remembered him doing that from the previous time we used him and made an appointment for the next day to do some internal and external plastering and stucco work on our 1928 home. He arrived on time and did the work with no mess. He's a polite, cheerful guy who does what he says he's going to do. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Description of Work: Jeff plastered some internal cracks in the wall due to settling. He also stuccoed several external cracks, opening them up and filling them in. He sealed open areas on the exterior around pipes and other fixtures.

Very professional and pleasant, even did some extra paint touch-ups for us.
Description of Work: Just hired Jeff again to repair wall after repiping and then to reset ceramic tile on the wall which was around a tub/shower. His specialties are plastering and drywall, and tile repair and regrouting. He takes real pride in his work and is careful so that you cannot even tell the new from the old, it all blends in perfectly. Had previously hired him to do plastering.
