Richard P Van Der Slik Plastering

recived estimate Sept 1 told i would like it done called and sent email never heard from Richard again , I would still like Him to do it. thank You Richard Fry

Did not get any more responses from Mr Van Der Slik

Richard was prompt in all replies and got the job done ahead of the expected timeline!

Fantastic. Even though they were busy, they made a point to fit in our small job weeks sooner than anticipated.

Completely frustrating. Don't waste your time with this guy. Rick showed up very promptly to give estimate. Estimate was very reasonable. Rick said to give him a call when I was ready and he would fit me into his schedule. After several attempts to contact him, ( he does not respond to voice mail messages) he finally answered his phone and we scheduled a day to do the job. HE DID NOT SHOW UP OR CALL TO LET ME KNOW, I left many messages and finally got him to answer his phone a second time. Rick said he would fit me in next week and give me a call to set day and time. I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN. I had to hire another company to do the work. Rick's unresponsiveness delayed my job 3 weeks! This contractor should not have "an A rating"

Great job! Mr. Van Der Slik and his associate did the job faster than I anticipated, and did an amazing job! I would highly recommend them to anyone needing plaster repair. We have plaster mouldings original to the 1840 house and they repaired them to look like they had just been done!

It went great. Richard responded quickly and did a great job

They did an amazing job, very fast, punctual and cleaned up after themselves, You wouldn't have known they had been there except for a completed room. Would definitely recommend them.

The finished jog looks great. Can't tell there was water damage or a hole.

Excellent! My only complaint would be that he was difficult to contact initially and didn't return my calls. However, once the initial contact was made, the experience was great. The ceiling is perfect. He and his co-worker (his son) covered the floors and put plastic up to protect walls and windows from the drywall goop. They showed up when they said they would and kept us informed about the timetable so we could coordinate the electrician's schedule. They worked fast and efficiently.

There is no evidence of the new seam - they did a perfect job of smoothing over. They arrived at my home both mornings promptly at 7:30 (or before) and did the work quickly and efficiently. They left the room cleaned up very nicely and I did not experience any problems from dust.

Richard responded quickly and on time as we discussed. He quoted as promised and I accepted hos quote for stucco but not drywall. Emailed back several times for an approximate date and called 2 times and left voicemails. This was over a 6-8 weeks period! I was very reasonable and knew it would take weeks or even 2 months to get to us. My opinionwas that he quoted extremely high because he didnt want to bother with a small job bit we had no choice since our house was up for sale and needed it fixed!! He just vanished and never returned email or phone calls. I responded via the email he sent me so there was no mistake!

I reached out to Richard in April shortly after I moved in; he said he'd be able to get our job in June and would call me with more details closer to that date. June came and went and I started trying reach Richard after returning from vacation in mid-July. When he returned my call (accidentally- he was trying to reach a different client), Richard first stated that he was now scheduling jobs 6 weeks out even though we had been “in the queue” since April. He then told me that, on second thought, he wouldn’t be able to do our job at all. While working on another chimney/roof repair he nearly had an accident and did not feel he could continue to work on roofs; when I asked if he could refer me to a new contractor, he was not able to think of anyone else who could do job. Though I understand Richard’s reluctance to work on roofs after a near-accident, he could have called me much sooner and offered a referral to a different contractor. Overall, I’m very disappointed Richard’s lack of communication and follow-up.

Answered call and gave honest report of being too busy at this time for work. Leaving this review because it is surprisingly hard to even get that most of the time.

Excellent! Very fast, professional, high quality. Finished product looks awesome. Done on time and on budget. Highly recommend!

Richard was very responsive to my questions and phone call. He and his son were professional, courteous, and speedy. They did an excellent job and were very willing to work on my house even though it definitely wasn't one of the bigger jobs they had on their list of things to do. Would recommend them again in a heart beat!

Rich was very quick to respond to my phone call and came out the same day. They were able to fit me in the same week. Rich was very knowledgeable and professional. Repair work looks great. I would recommend them to friends.

It went fine. Rich came in completed the work and left. I wasn't there to monitor or watch the work. But what was needed was done.

Rich and his crew repaired several areas on house where the stucco was missing down to the cement block. The largest area was about 3 foot in diameter before peeled off the loose area surrounding it. There were a few area along the ground they pulled the dirt back and repaired them all the way down. We also had several badly worn and chipped corners with 2-6" chips the finished corner edges are great. They also ground out multiple cracks (at lease 50', probably more I did not measure) and filled them in with stucco and left a very nice finish on all areas. They did a very nice and professional job. I am sure once I get the paint there will be no trace of their work. Highly Recommended.

Fantastic showed up early great attention to detail. High quality workmanship, definitely would recommend to anyone

He fit us into his schedule and even came earlier than planned. He asked for less than his quoted price too!

Fast, courteous, friendly and a fair price. One the best contractor experiences I've ever had. I would recommend them to a friend.

I added a wall in an already finished basement and Rich finished the drywall I had hung. He showed up for the estimate on time, came back the next day and began work. He came back at the same time for 3 straight days and finished the job perfectly. It's refreshing (and rare) to get good service these days. Couldn't be happier!

Rick and his son were prompt, professional and very nice. They started the job when stated and finished when they said they would. When they were finished you couldn't tell they had been here. All the dust was gone and work area cleaned. I would recommend. Very professional.

Excellent. Prompt arrival, extra care in keeping the area clean, and a professional result. We highly recommend this contractor based on our experience.
