Garth was fantastic to work with (and an all-around awesome guy). He replied super quickly, got an estimate back to us promptly and he did excellent work. We had him remove some popcorn ceiling and repair/paint the plaster in a very precarious spot and it looks brand new. We also had him install an access panel in a hole created by a plumbing issue. Our house was built in 1918, and it gave him some surprises, but the outcome is great.
Description of Work: Install an access panel in a hole caused by a plumbing issue. Remove popcorn ceiling, repair the plaster & paint. Repaired some cracks in ceiling & walls.

Our home has unique textured finishes on the walls and ceilings. We sustained some water damage and had to replace a large section of the kitchen ceiling. We also had several ceiling and wall cracks that needed to be repaired. Garth did all of the plaster work and it matched the existing ceilings and walls perfectly. He also did a new rough plaster finish on our breezeway ceiling to match the adjoining office. He is very talented at what he does, and his pricing was very fair. My contractor warned me that I might not find someone who could do this type of plaster work these days. I was glad that I found Garth and proved him wrong. I recommend Garth without reservation. His work is beautiful.

Garth was very quick, professional, thorough and really helped us out in a pinch! We had a large electrical project (completely re-wiring a very old home that had mostly knob & tube wiring) and we also had a tight timeline to complete painting before the arrival of a new baby. Garth was able to fit repairs into a short window, even finishing over the weekend, to ensure our painting project could start on time. The repairs look so smooth!

Best Plaster - was just that! Garth communicated well & in a timely fashion. He understood issues with plaster, bead-board & sheet rock. His estimate was spot on with the final bill. He adjusted the bill down as the final project wasn't as involved as the potential projected. He started and completed the 3 day project in the predicted time line. I have worked with many craftspeople over the years and Garth is by far one of best.

Garth did a great job on our bathroom ceiling. He is friendly, punctual, and was a great communicator. He gave us tips to keep the ceiling from peeling. We chose to paint the ceiling ourselves and he suggested what product to use to effectively do so.

Garth was an amazing professional - he was timely, professional, friendy, he did not go over quote, and I think he completed the job even earlier than he had quoted me. I would absolutley hire him again, and he was signifiantly cheaper than the other quote I had gotten from someone else. He was phenomenal, and I can't rave enough about him.

I was reluctant to hire someone without a reference but it was suggested I try Angie's List. Garth promptly returned my call and a time was set up for him to come by and take a look at what we needed and give us a quote. The price seemed very reasonable and we hired him to do the work. Through no fault of his, what he expected to be a 3-day project became 6 days. Garth arrived on time every day and kept me informed each step of the way. He did a great job with the plaster repair, skim coat, and painting of the walls and ceiling in our sunroom. He is both very personable and professional and we couldn't have been happier with his work. We would most definitely hire him again and would encourage friends or family to do the same.

The plaster repair was on a 1938 house. Garth leveled/ filled in the previous job, and matched the sand texture so the repair is invisible from the rest of the wall.

It went very well. Garth removed all of the loose plaster, put in some sheet rock where the plaster had fallen out and replastered. Ceiling looks really good. The plastered part blends in perfectly with the intact part of the ceilig. It has been painted now and I don't see any places that do not look good. He was very good with cleanup. He always showed up at the appointed time and even worked on a Saturday to get things done quickly.

I called in and asked for an estimate. He said he had to take care of a few things but would be at my house before noon. 11:30am rolls around he still does not show up. I give him a call and leave a message. He calls back and says he looked at his calendar and is unable to do the job. Just don't like waiting around for an estimate when they can't even take on the job.

Garth gave a realistic bid, fully discussed what needed to be done to repair the ceiling. Once the water damaged drywall was replaced and the seam repaired, he floated the entire ceiling in the kitchen and hallways so that the ceiling texture would all match. He did such a fantastic job we had him do a small bathroom, the dining room and the living room so that all the ceilings on the main floor looked the same. He did a great job keeping the dust and dirt to a minimum. He did a great job repainting the ceiling in the rooms. Garth is a one man shop and he is a true craftsman and I would recommend him to anyone wanting drywall work done.

Garth arrived on time and about 4 hours later the work was done! I did the re-painting my self and now the patches blend so well my husband can't remember what was repaired! I'm contemplating hiring Garth to re-do all the old repairs and settling cracks in the house.
Description of Work: I had Garth repair old highly textured plaster walls in my living room. There was old water damage around windows that had been badly repaired and was crumbling as well as a giant ugly plaster repair "scar" down one wall (work done by a previous owner).
