John was excellent! Was very responsive. Showed up on time every time and even had treats for my crazy anckle bitting dogs when he showed up at the door. He was friendly, personable and did the job on schedule as promised. The job ended up costing me a bit more than what I expected and purchased on angieslist. I guess I did not factor the amount of work that needed to go into the job. Overall I was very satisfied and would definitely use him again!

He was excellent in communicating and did a fine job with the removal and replastering the stucco. It matched the remaining stucco better than I expected. It wasn't done exactly when I expected but he is very busy and the weather in New England was not cooperative during the period when the work was to be done, causing delays.
Description of Work: I needed loose stucco removed and those areas and areas already bare of stucco repaired (have new stucco plastered).

John did excellent work. He removed the damaged part of the ceiling and plastered it, blending it to the existing ceiling so that when I painted it, it didn't look like it had ever been damaged.

Great communication. Came when he said he would to estimate. Called the day before to confirm. Came within 5 minutes of he estimated arrival and spent a considerable time covering floors and all surrounding areas with sheets of plastic. Did an incredible job matching the swirl ceiling after other contractors said it could not be done. Cleaned up all material and area. A true professional.

I called John, he responded promptly and came at the time he said he would, gave me an immediate estimate, and said he would call when he had an opening. A few weeks later he called and gave us a possible day and time and he would contact us the day before to confirm. He called and said he would be here the next day at 8AM. He actually came at 8:05AM! We were totally suprised since he was the first contractor that we have ever used that came when he said he would. He spent a considerable amount of time cover the floors, counters, rugs and furniture with plastic. he also hung plastic from the ceilings enclosing the work areas. At the completion of the job, he picked up everything and bagged it for the trash. It was remarkably clean when he finished. He did an excellent job in smoothing the distressed area and matching the swirls to the existing ceiling. He also patched several cracks from the sever winter of 2014 again matching the swirls. John was very pleasant to deal with and we would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: After taking down a wall between the kitchen and dining room, a previous contract did an awful job patching the swirl ceiling leaving it bumpy and uneven. Other plasterers we called said they could not match the ceiling and it would need to be sanded never match the rest of the ceilings throughout the house.

Mr. Crichton discussed options and made a suggestion about the most cost effective approach. Because he was patching and not replastering the whole area, he needed to match as best as possible the area around the patches. The treatment of the patched areas are quite close to the surrounding old plaster. His work was very good, and the room was left clean. Mr. Crichton was a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: We had water damage in our basement and Mr. Crichton replastered sections of the wall and ceiling where old plaster had fallen off.

John returned my initial call the next day and arranged to come look at the project 2 days later. John (and his assistant) came when he said he would, evaluated the project, gave an estimate and said he could do it the following Monday. Work began on the day and time specified. Plastic sheeting and rosin paper was utilized to keep the house as clean as possible. Work was completed in three hours. Work was high quality and they did an excellent job of cleaning up afterwards. We would recommend John Crichton Plastering without reservation.

First of all - John returned my phone call promptly! He came out within the next days to inspect the damage and within 24 hours, gave me an estimate for the work that needed to be done. He managed to squeeze us into his schedule a week earlier than expected and that was great. He told us when he would arrive and he was like clockwork, on time and ready to go! I would definitely rehire him again and refer him to anyone who needs this type of work done.
Description of Work: Removed damaged plaster, blue board and insulation that was all damaged from 2015 ice dams. He re-insulated, re-plastered, painted and removed all hazardous materials. John arrived on time and was extremely conscientious.

John repaired some water damaged ceilings in my house a month ago. The job was fairly extensive and needed the plaster to match the swirl pattern in the rest of the house. He did a very good job for me and kept the place clean by sealing off the area with plastic sheeting and covering the entire hardwood floor with heavy paper. The job took two people two days and cost $1,500. Since John worked out so well, I brought him back for another smaller plastering job after a plumber had finished repairing some pipes for me. He repaired some areas that had severe water damage and needed the old plaster cut out and replaced. The job took two people 3/4 of a day and cost $550. He knew exactly what to do, did good work, and cleaned up after himself. I am an engineer who has contracted many private contractors to rebuild an renovate several homes that I have lived in over the years and can say with no reservations that John is top quality at a good price.

John Crichton quickly responded to me that he was booked for many months out, so if I needed work done earlier he recommended getting a refund for my purchase and choosing another plasterer. Angie's list quickly refunded my money and I appreciate the providers quick response.

John responded quickly when I called to drywall a couple of walls that had been damaged due to a water leak. He came over in a couple of days to give a quote and scheduled the work in the same week. He arrived promptly as per schedule and finished the work on time and professionally. Very happy with his promptness and professionalism and would definitely use again.

John responded to my phone call promptly, discussed about the service needed and provided the cost & schedule in a timely manner. He and his team arrived at the site right on time. John's quality of work was very well done. He ensured that the area was clean by covering it with floor covers, including the entry way. He cleaned the site before leaving. Most importantly, he took care of the area that needs repair and went beyond to other minor areas. I like his service and strongly recommend John Crichton.
