Brad was incredible. He did my home 7 years ago, and his work has held up beautifully. I totally thought I wrote him a review way back then, and realized today I had not. Thank you for your amazing work. You helped make my house a home.

Prompt arrival for estimate, fair price, quick appointment to do job. All floors leading to and around job covered as well as handrails and door knobs. Arrived to start job on time. Found areas that were not seen during estimate yet fixed same with no extra charge. Brad and his son went out of their way to do a quality job and smoothed out areas that were put in quite shabby 80 years ago. Clean up was more than expected. Would highly recommend this company and would definitely use again.

Brad was very thorough in his inspection of what needed to be done for the repair work. His quote was detailed and fair. He was able to start the work in short order and once he started he did everything thoroughly and professionally. He went beyond what other contractors would do for keeping the plaster dust contained. He covered everything and had a tarp even on the walkway to the back door. I am extremely happy with Brad's work and work ethic. He was a rare find! I have recommended him to the HDC in our town.

Brad did not do my job but was most helpful in instructing me how I could do it myself or perhaps pursue a painting company.
Description of Work: I called Brad out to quote a ceiling repair/refinish job. After he reviewed what I was looking to have done he informed me that it wasn't quite the type of work he normally does. However he spent at least 30 minutes looking at what my repair required and even showed me how I could do it myself by demonstrating repair techniques. I found him to be most helpful, informative, professional and would recommend him to anyone looking for quality wet plaster repair or restoration.

Brad was on-time and very easy to work with. He replaced a section of drywall that had water damage. We have a textured ceiling "knock down" style. He was able to blend it in very nicely to the existing ceiling. We would hire him again.

Brad did a fantastic job in all regards. He even repaired some areas that another plasterer had "repaired" several years ago. This was a lot of work! The house is 88 years old and my walls look new. I can't tell where the holes were or where the patches are. I was afraid to hire this work done because I was afraid I wouldn't like the results based on a previous plasterer. After reading the Angie's List reviews on Brad's previous jobs, I decided to go for it. So glad I did!
Description of Work: Cracks in plaster walls and ceilings repaired, and holes (walls and ceilings)from a recent whole house rewiring repaired. Also had the dining room, living room and stairwell painted.

This review is way overdue. We had a leak in our bathroom that destroyed our kitchen ceiling. We had Finishing touch come out and he explained what needed to be done by us and him and then he refinished our tub. Long story short, we had to have the tile tore out and replaced along with the green board behind it. To date, the leak has been fixed and our 90 year old bath tub looks like it is brand new. I would highly recommend Finishing Touch to anyone who needs a bath tub restored.

Working with Finishing Touch Restoration was a great experience ? smooth, no hassles, no last-minute changes, completely free of headaches. Brad Danowski knows his business. He first came out to inspect our ceiling problem in order to provide us with an accurate quote. He suggested various levels of repair, each increasing in comprehensiveness, quality, and cost. By having a few different strategies to choose from, we were able to request a repair that satisfied both our expectations for duration and quality, as well as our budgetary needs. Brad delivered on his every word and was punctual. He completed the job in one day.
Description of Work: Repairs were made to four areas of a coved plaster living room ceiling and soffit in a home built in 1949. One area was approximately 3 feet by 4 feet, which had suffered water damage from a leak in the roof. Another repair involved a crack that extended the entire length of the ceiling and has given us trouble for many decades. The other two areas were smaller spots where the plaster had either cracked or opened due to a water leak from above. All the loose, damaged plaster was removed. Flexible polyurethane was utilized to fill the cracks prior to the final plaster application. This allowed for some expansion and contraction of the the crack with the seasonal shifts in temperature and humidity. Final filling and smoothing of all areas was done with fresh plaster as needed. Texture was matched perfectly. The ceiling and soffit areas were primed, then painted. Brad worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned up after finishing.

He did a excellent job of patching where needed, you cannot even tell. However, I did not like the job where the ceiling meets the walls. There was some paint drippings on the floor that I did not notice till after, but I was able to clean it up. he did however, push his religion and I told him I was Catholic and was not interested, that did not matter. He even gave me a magazine to read. He tried to convince me that his religion, which I believe was a born again christian. He walked in my house and was overwhelmed when I told him what needed to be painted. He does work alone and I realize he was very tired. However, I did not have a deadline that he had to meet, so I wondered why it appeared to be too much. I thought that is what painters do. He did have a church to do at the same time so I guess he was overwhelmed.
Description of Work: painted ceiling, walls and trim and doors, hallways. No high ceilings except one going up the 6 steps.

We originally contacted Brad to remove the popcorn finish to our vaulted, kitchen ceiling. When he came for the estimate, he talked us out of removing it. Brad pointed out the drywall had been poorly installed and by removing the popcorn, the walls would need extensive repair. He suggested that we just paint the ceiling instead and we went with his recommendation. We are so glad we did! It turned out the ceiling had been painted by the previous owners of our house, which would have made the job of popcorn removal a large, expensive project. The fresh paint brightened the room and makes it look like new construction. Brad's work is meticulous and by far, the best painter we have met. He is very conscientious, shows up on time, cleans up the work area, and prices his jobs fairly. Brad is a true professional and we will hire him again in the future.
Description of Work: Brad painted two exterior garage doors, the master bedroom, and the kitchen ceiling with high, vaulted walls and a popcorn finish.

Brad said it would take 4 days to complete the job, it took 3 days. Brad is the utmost professional and does wonderful work. He helped me with the colors, treated my house like his own. He was always on time and was very careful to make sure our furniture, floors, etc were covered at all times. We told him when he came to give us the estimate that we are very picky and what we expected and he exceeded our expectations. We got 4 estimates and Brad was the most reasonable and I am so glad we went with him. Brad has an eye for detail and the outcome shows it. He always gave me his professional opinion and I listened to him and I am glad I did. We are waiting on a second estimate from Brad to get the rest of the house painted. I highly, highly recommend Brad for all your painting needs.
Description of Work: Contracted with Brad to paint living room, dining room, kitchen, family room and hallway. We wanted 2 coats on walls, 2 coats on crown molding, 1 coat on ceiling and we used 4 different colors.

Brad Danowski was very pleasant to work with. He was punctual, pleasant and did a great job. Clean-up was done .... as if he wasn't ever here. We were concerned how the paneling would look after painting; it looks great. Still rustic but much brighter and lighter. We would be happy to hire him again ....and we would recommend him highly.

He even followed-up same day when there was an issue that we contacted him about. Would definitely recommend doing work with him again.

Almost all the inside and outside corner beads needed finishing and some were very rough blended all walls and corners. Brad spent about 10-11 hours in the house the first day. The next day was about 5 hours to do all the finishing touch's it looked great, I painted the next day after it had dried completely. Great job Brad and I would highly recommend the man and his Work.

Brad responded quickly to my inquiry and description of the ceiling. Unlike other contractors, he did not respond with cautionary feed-back and the probable need for lengthy and costly repairs. He had had experience with this type of ceiling repair and commented that although the ceiling would probably not look 'perfect' it could be greatly improved. I am delighted with the look of my now 'stucco-free', coved ceiling which now looks almost new. Brad's knowledge about and skills with plaster are impressive. He was prompt, efficient, and professional and I am thus happy to recommend him to others requiring plaster repair
Description of Work: Previous owners of my newly-purchased home had attempted to repair a gulley-like crack in the coved living room ceiling with stucco. The result was appalling and I was concerned the ceiling could not be repaired.

Response from Finishing Touch Restoration
Unfortunately, I had misplaced this customers contact information and could not contact her as the message she originally left had already been deleted. I was hoping that she would contact me inquiring about her estimate, however she chose to leave this review instead. I thought that since she did not contact me, she had decided to go with another contractor. I do apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused, Brad
