Ken did a fabulous job. He was on time, friendly but also professional. He responded quickly the times I called him. He did exactly what was explained in the estimate. We let it dry for two weeks per his recommendation. After the two weeks, the wall only needed minimal (and I mean very minimal) sanding. We then painted the wall and it also looks great. I would certainly recommend Ken Hall Plastering for this type of job.
Description of Work: Ken repaired an area left of a dining room window due to water damage. He removed all loose and damaged materials on a dining room wall approximately 2' to 3' and on top of a window. iKen Installed new lathe where it was needed. He then applied plaster to fill and finish the wall.

We were happy with his work.
Description of Work: We live in a house that is 100 + years. He repaired some serious cracks we had in one room. In addition we had significant damage to our plaster walls when removing old wallpaper. The walls were very crumbly and in poor shape. He made several repairs and coated it several times.

Ken is a true craftsman, and does EXCELLENT plastering work. In today's day and age, it is highly uncommon to find a person with experience, and mastery of a complex trade such as plastering. Our house is over 100 years old, and had cracks in a closet, on the walls surrounding stairs to the third floor, in two bedrooms, and in two bathrooms. While we bought this house with the cracks 14 years ago, we decided to have them repaired and the rooms painted. What a difference!! Ken carefully prepared the rooms for work, and removed all material as required. He was thorough and detailed in his work, and took care to prevent plaster dust from moving throughout the house (although it still does make its way into other rooms). When problems arise, Ken has the experience to work through them, and accepts this as a professional challenge. The estimate was fair given all the work necessary to complete the job.
Description of Work: Plaster repair of 100+ year old house as follows: Closet, Staircase, two bedrooms, 2 baths (one with serious water damage on one wall).

The ceiling work was done very well. It is not easy to see the repaired texture unless you are really looking for it. He did a great job blending it into the current texture. The bathroom wall was also done very well. He showed up when he said and cleaned up after himself. His work took longer into the second day than planned, but was not a big issue for me. My only slight issue is that he changed his quote price when showed up on the first day of work. He added on $50 to his quote price. I was ok with that since it was still the lowest quote, but I would prefer that type of thing not to happen.
Description of Work: Ken performed 2 jobs caused by a leaking shower on the second floor. He replaced part of a textured ceiling in my kitchen below the shower and replaced the wall and the shower that was replaced in my bathroom. The kitchen ceiling required replacing the a 5ft X 5ft area that required matching the current texture. The bathroom required replacing an area around the shower and creating a smooth transition to the current wall.

This was something that I've wanted done for a long time and it looks great. Ken did tell me that my paint finish was rough and the repair work was smooth. I think in the living room once it's repainted it won't be noticeable but I'm not sure about the bedroom. I was worried about dust and debris from the repairs, but other than some debris left on my ceiling fan Ken cleaned up pretty well.
Description of Work: I had a large crack in the center on my living room ceiling that ran into the adjoining bedroom. Ken repaired this crack as well as other noticeable cracks above doors and below windows.

Ken Hall did an excellent job in repairing a major and many minor cracks in the walls of three rooms in my 1941 home. He returned my inquiry call promptly - the same day - and scheduled an estimate for the next day, on a Saturday for my convenience. Once I determined to hire him, he scheduled the actual work for the following week. He showed up promptly at the agreed-on time, was professional, explained everything clearly, and did the agreed-on work well. He cleaned up each day over the two-and-a-half day period, so I could still use the rooms in the evening. He covered up the few pieces of furniture I didn't move out of the living room to protect them, and covered the floors well. I felt comfortable with leaving him to work in my home alone. His estimate was higher than the other estimate I got, but I felt very comfortable with his approach to the repair and how he explained his working process, so I chose to hire him. I would hire him again with no qualms.
Description of Work: Repair of a major (approx. 1/2 inch wide) crack in my living room wall, arching up from the corner of the recessed window frame, up the wall under some trim and across the rounded cove onto the ceiling. The edges of the crack were no longer lined up, and he made it look like one piece of wall again. Also repair of many other, smaller cracks in the walls of the living room, hall, dining room and kitchen.

A great experience from beginning to end. Ken was very professional to work with, timely in his responses, neat and thorough. My husband was home when he was doing the work and was able to speak with him for a while. Ken is a really nice person who is very knowledgeable about what he does.
Description of Work: Our home is about 50 years old. We have an elevated walkway that leads to our front door. There are areas on the sides of the elevation where the previous owners made some repairs that are now corroding. Ken gave us a reasonable quote to fix the corrosion, was timely in doing the work and did an absolutely beautiful job repairing some really ugly areas. We are incredibly pleased with his work!

I am very happy with the results. Ken and his son were there for two and a half days. At the end of each day, they cleaned up well. They actually left the room (which was getting completely redone due to all of the water damage) cleaner than when they started. Ken knows his stuff for sure and both he and his son were pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: Ken repaired a number of cracks, gouges, and water damaged areas and made a very poorly done textured ceiling in my master bedroom flat.

Ken provided an estimate to fix a water damaged portion of a ceiling (approx 5 ft by 4 ft area). He estimated $550 to take it down to the lathe and build back up with plaster to point that it would be ready to prime and paint. He would be doing the work himself. Sounds like this has been a family business for generations. He was on time and professional. I was confident he would have done a quality job, but I ended up going with a cheaper solution from another plaster that involved only removing the lime coat.

Ken was very prompt on both for the estimate appointment and the scheduled work time. His attention to detail and the care he took in making sure the job site was cleaned up daily and the work completed on time were fantastic. We will definitely call Ken if and when we need any plaster or stucco work done.
Description of Work: Hired Ken to repair plaster which had deteriorated around bay window. We also had Ken repair some cracks in our upstairs hallway and stairwell and foyer.

Repair to living room ceiling/ hallway wall and repair of bathroom drywall. I have a flattened stucco that was damaged by water. I live in a 100 year old house which has had many small repairs in this stucco over the years. Ken did not match the stucco at all-- worst repair of all.
Description of Work: Good: He came exactly when he said he would and he did not leave a mess. Not so good: I had expected a closer match to my stucco ceiling and walls after reading the other reports. I was surprised at what he thought was "complete" His attention to detail was not good, i.e., he left edges incomplete, corners not sealed, "globby" stucco work. I showed him my concerns and he left them still looking that way. I paid $1800. for 4 1/2 days work and I was willing to pay him more than other bids with the expectation of excellence. He did come back and got it "OK".. but not great. (Now that I have painted over his stucco repairs the poor quality is obvious and I have had to sand off his work-- which has been very time consuming. He was too heavy handed)

We had water damage on several walls from the June rains. Our walls are plaster in a 100 year old home. Ken took off the old plaster and replaced the damaged areas with new. The walls look great...seamless. He showed up every day and cleaned up that day's work. He also fixed a few ceiling cracks...again...flawless work. Amazingly he repaired 3 separate rooms, ceiling in the stairway and a portion in the kitchen in just three days. I'll definitely be hiring him again.

It went very well. His time estimate was right on. He cleaned up all the mess that goes with plastering. The walls were completely smooth when he was done! I would definitely use Ken Hall Plastering again. I am actually not sure of the date, it was sometime in 2008.

We own an older home with plaster walls and the ceiling in one of the rooms had cracked and needed repair. After reviewing several companies on Angie's List we selected Ken Hall because of the outstanding reviews his company has received in the past. Mr. Hall returned our phone call promptly and came to our house to give us an estimate for the ceiling repair and a stucco finish for our staircase to the upstairs and hallway. We received Mr. Hall's estimates via e-mail the same day and the price was right for the work to be performed. Within a week Mr. Hall gave us a start date and completed both jobs withing 3 1/2 days to our total satisfaction. It is important to point out that Mr. Hall prepared the work areas in such a way that the dust, which cannot be avoided, was minimal. He taped of all of the ajoining rooms with heavy plastic and tape. He also cleaned up the work areas completely after the work was performed. It was a joy to have Mr. Hall work in our house. Thank you for a job well done.
