After the spray texture tried we noticed two colors on the ceiling. After calling Roger he sent a crew back the next business day to paint it. Now it looks awesome. We didn't have much hope for the repairs but his crew did a great job. They were ontime, neat, and cleaned up the job site when done. Not to mention the price was great.
Description of Work: They scraped the ceiling, repaired damaged areas, and retextured the ceilings in our living room and office.

I was very pleased with this company's performance from start to finish. Roger came to give us a bid and we discussed options within 2 days of our initial contact. They were able to start within 2 weeks. The project took approximately 2 days. The crew was very punctual, professional, and courteous. They even called to let us know they would be 20 minutes late on one day. I was impressed with this company's knowledge of their product. I plan to use this company again when we do some updating of our upper level.
Description of Work: We had a knock down texture applied to ceilings and walls in our lower level. We also had the crew paint the ceilings

Great. Greg, Phil and Dan arrived on time, prepared the work area. Both jobs were done in 80 minutes. The men took care to leave their shoes in the garage each time they entered the house to work. They vacuumed and cleaned up well. I could have done the repairs myself but at their price I felt comfortable calling them.
Description of Work: Repaired 18" indentation in bedroom plaster wall. Years ago I cut a 2.5 foot square hole from the garage into the house area to add additional insulation. I covered the hole with a hinged square "door." We had the company remove the door and properly seal the opening.

On time, charges exactly what was estimated, work seems high quality. Trusted them enough to leave them alone in our house. Only complaints: we thought we'd get a call when they were finished and didn't until we called them, probably a miscommunication, and we didn't realize that due to the drying time, we'd have to re-hang our own light fixtures.

Excellent. Roger said the patch would be 90% invisible compared with complete re-do of the ceiling (about $500 more). This room is not seen much by others, so we were content to do the patch. Roger was correct. It is visible - at least if you know to look and what to look for. But I'm not telling!
Description of Work: I replaced a 4x4 ft square of water-damaged sheet rock in our hot tub room. Roger's crew taped the joints, re-textured the spot, then repainted the entire ceiling.

Roger took my phone call on Thursday, June 25th, and agreed to me with me later in the morning for an estimate. He was prompt and polite. I asked him to provide quotes for some additional work in the future. He quoted fair prices, and gave thorough explanations of each project. I had several questions about finishing (painting) the drywall, and he gave very detailed answers that positively influenced the outcome of my paint job. The crew arrived on time the next day, and quickly and cleanly completed the job. They were personable, and answered all of my questions.

Received estimates from 3 provider. Roger was not the lowest cost estimate but I was impressed by his punctuality and professionalism. He also was able to best explain the work that would be done. His crew arrived on time and performed the work quickly with high quality and cleaned up very well afterwards. They did a good job matching the texture of repaired areas to that of the original wall. Overall an excellent experience.

I received bids from three plaster repair companies that I found on Angie's List. RW Ceilings & Walls had the lowest bid. Roger Wilson, the owner, provided the estimate. A handout was provided to me with references and information about what to expect with the job. The job was done by Greg and two other employees who have worked for RW Ceilings for several years. Roger is very personable and responsive; all employees were easy to work with. While the ceiling work was being done, the rooms were carefully enclosed in plastic sheeting which is suspended from the tops of the walls. This keeps things fairly protected from the white dust produced, but on a job this size one might expect that there will still be some dust when the job is done. Expect some strong odor if oil sealer is used. The team worked quickly; this job was done in about two days. On the basement wall repairs, care was taken to match the existing sand finish of the surrounding walls. Paint colors were also well matched with existing colors where necessary. Roger came once to see how things were progressing. Payment was due upon completion.
Description of Work: Plaster ceilings in six rooms/hallways were painted in a 1936 home. Three of these rooms had ceiling water damage and a little water damage to the top of the walls. In the other rooms, paint was falling off the ceilings for unknown reasons. All water damaged plaster was removed and replaced. In one of these rooms, the water damage to the wall was such that vinyl wallpaper had to be removed. I stripped all the wallpaper in that room and RW Ceilings cleaned all the wallpaper paste off, sanded and primed all the walls of that room. The job also included significant work in my basement where ground moisture had, over a period of years, seeped through the concrete block walls. Where finished room walls met the outside wall, the plaster was falling off in large pieces, revealing the underlying lathe. RW Ceilings re-plastered all six damaged walls. The repaired areas were painted along with the rest of the walls in three rooms. Finally, the job included a few minor plaster repairs around outlets, heat registers, etc.

Roger (the owner) came out to provide an estimate on the job almost immediately. His estimate was very reasonable and he was very attentive to the details. Within a week of awarding him the work, his people were at my house and starting the job. His people were on time and professional. The job turned out great and I did not have any surprises (higher prices, damage, or anything else). I would highly recommend R W Ceilings & Walls!

It went very well and very smoothly. Roger sent a crew of 4 people, who showed up promptly when scheduled and were in and out within about 3.5 hours. They made sure all the furniture and flooring was covered and cleaned up well after themselves (there was still settling of dust and paint after they left, but that minor and unavoidable).
Description of Work: We hired R W Ceilings & Walls to take care of some cracks in our ceiling. Roger Wilson came to the house and provided estimates for different levels of work. Ultimately, they scraped the popcorn finish off the entire downstairs ceiling (not enormous, but good-size condo), repaired the cracks, including some we were previously unaware of, leveled the ceiling, re-textured it, and painted the whole thing.

Roger responded quickly to our response for an estimate. Once we scheduled a date he said that his crew would probably arrive a little early which they did. All the work took about 3 hours, they cleaned up after themselves and they were gone by lunchtime. We were very happy with all the repairs. You cannot see where the repairs were done on the bedroom wall and ceiling (although it did take a day for the ceiling to dry which worried my husband at first but the next day he saw his concerns were unfounded). The plaster in the dining room has a rather unusual texture which was very hard to match but they did a good job on that and with the new paint, you would not see it unless you were looking for it.
Description of Work: Repaired water damage and re-sprayed in about 1/2 a bedroom ceiling; large repair of plaster bedroom wall that had water damage and repaired a poor plaster repair that we had done in our dining room.

In general it did not go as well as I had hoped. His crew was timely and polite and the installation of the drywall went quickly. But once they finished the mudding, sanding and painting, I could see a lack of detail in their work. Seams were visible, the sanding had not been done properly, one of the corners was not square. We called Roger to tell him we were not happy with the work. He rushed over the next morning and called us while we were at work to say he was embarrassed. They redid everything. (Apparently they did not have enough lighting to see the mistakes, but they never asked for additional lighting, nor did they bring their own.) Even after they redid a few seams and the sanding and painting I can still see screws popping through and inconsistency in the surface (i.e. the place where the drywall meets plaster). The corner that was not square is better, but I still feel it is inadequate. However, the ceilings look amazing!
Description of Work: We removed the plaster from the stairwell and needed it to be drywalled and blended in to the existing plaster. Once the drywall was in place it was painted. We also had the ceilings redone in the living and front rooms on the first floor and the ceilings in the stairwell, hallway and sitting room upstairs.

The job went very well. The crew was neat, punctual, and was careful of my house and belongings. They finished the job within three hours, and it looks very good.
Description of Work: The washing machine drain was plugged, causing gallons of water to go through the floor and into the ceiling below. Roger came to give an estimate based on what was visible at the time. We set up a time to return to do the work. His crew came right on time as scheduled. When they started taking out the damaged ceiling, they discovered the water to have gone much farther and to have mold growing. They brought this to my attention and we decided to tear out all the moldy ceiling, cut the hole straight and leave it to dry further for four days. They returned, set up a plastic "room", installed a piece of ceiling, primed, painted, and textured the ceiling to blend in with the surrounding area.

It went well. It is a great improvement from the horrible tiles and cracked plaster that were there previously! As other reports indicated, Roger's crew is very fast. From start to finish, the job took about 1 1/2 hours to complete which is nice for convenience, but it also did not allow enough drying time which caused a goldish color to show through parts of the ceiling. I called Roger that day to get his input, and he was very quick to offer his apologies and to have his crew come out the next day to correct the problem. Both times they came out, the crew was very punctual which is nice. Overall, I felt as if the price was very good and the company was very pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: Our kitchen ceiling had a drop/suspended ceiling that was covering a damaged plastered ceiling. RW Ceilings repaired the cracks in the plaster and did a spray coat over the ceiling.

Roger was friendly and informative. He explained what would be done and gave me a written explanation with references.These guys were *fast.* They scheduled 3-5 hours for the project but finished in two! They were so fast that the Kilz didn't have time to dry completely before they painted over it. Because of that, some water stains bled through the paint. When I called Roger to let him know, he explained that this happens in about 10% of cases. I recall him mentioning that the product had changed, which causes this to happen sometimes. Anyway, he didn't hesitate to schedule his crew to come back and re-paint the ceiling at no extra charge. Again the crew was lightning fast. They set up, painted the ceiling, cleaned up and left in less than half an hour! No more water stains, and the ceiling looks beautiful. There were a few spots where paint was chipped on the walls from pulling the tape off. For the money they saved me and the quality of the plastering work they did, I didn't care.
Description of Work: We had water damage from a burst pipe. After getting three wildly different bids from general contractors (who were referred by our insurance company), we decided to look up plasterers since they would be doing the work. The first bid came in about $800 less than the cheapest general contractor. R.W.Ceilings came in about $1200 less than that!! I read all of the reviews on Angie's List to make sure that the price wasn't low because of poor quality. R.W. had stellar reviews.

I had a lot of ceiling damage from leakage into a bathroom and also through a roof. They were in and out in about four hours and were able to take care of the job very efficiently. I was surprised not only how quickly the job was done, but also by the quality (very good). They did such a good job that you can't tell where the repair ends and where the original ceilings.

Roger immediately returned my call and set up a time to come over and give me an estimmate on the work I needed done. He was very professional and walked right through the 3 rooms pointing out problem areas that I had not even noticed. He explained in detail why I had the damage I did, what they would need to do to correct the current problems and eliminate future problems. He explained how long it would take and what to expect during the work. His crew showed up exactly on time. They came in and immediately got to work drapping the areas to contain the dust and scraping residue. They completed the work and were out in a minimal amount of time. I was very impressed with his crew and their proficiency. They were very neat and totally cleaned up before they left. They did a great job.

Roger Wilson is easy to work with. He knows everything about wall and ceiling repair and is excellent at his profession. Most important, he is honest (which is hard to find these days). We had a problem with the work his crew did in their first attempt, and they came back promptly and left us with a 100% perfect job. Overall a minor inconvenience yielding a great result. Thanks, Roger!!!
Description of Work: Our textured lath and plaster stairway wall leading down to the basement was badly cracked due to settling in our1930 home. Roger evaluated the job and recommended application of a new textured plaster surface for the entire stairwell area. His crew came out and made an initial repair, which was not totally correct. There were areas where the textured surface was not uniform. We called Roger, and he was very cooperative. They came out right away, corrected the problem, and left us with an absolutely perfect result.
