Ken had an efficient work plan that demonstrated his considerable work experience. He was always ready to explain his plan and the reasons for it; he also educated me on what was what in terms of building materials and how best to work with them. He completed the job over 2 1/2 days. His work was outstanding, and as it dried you could how well he blended it into the existing plaster. He is pleasant and tidy in his work practices.
Description of Work: Description of Work: The textured plaster wall in the hallway had water damage over an area of 4' x4' due to water coming in from under the roof two winters ago. The plaster showed a great degree of efflorescence which went quite deep into the wall. Also we had plaster sections missing from the inside and outside of the enclosed porch, where again we had water damage and windows replaced. The outside work required a ladder to a second floor, on uneven ground. Comments: Ken was a professional from the moment he phoned us back the same day we phoned him to ask him for a quote. He was everything a homeowner wants in a professional tradesman- courteous, prompt, responsive and an expert in his field.

Ken was great to work with. He arrived on time each day and did a fantastic job on the plastering. This was our first time hiring a professional to repair the walls we were not sure what to expect. Ken dug out each of the deeper cracks and filled then in a few layers at a time over 3 days. My only complaint would be that there is some minor sanding that will have to be done before we can paint, but I am assuming this was not suppose to be done by Ken. We did have Ken look at our upstairs for another job and his price was much higher ( 4x's the amount!) for an area that in all was comparable to what we had on the first floor. This was a shock to us! We will not be using Ken again only because he apparently under bid the first job and then gave a crazy quote for our second job. But he does do amazing plastering !!!!!!
Description of Work: Multiple cracks in plaster walls repaired about 14 different areas total.

Mr. Hall is the consummate professional. He arrived on time & worked every day until the job was done. The completion of this job took longer due to my irregular work schedule, however, Mr. Hall was graciously accommodating and worked around it. He was careful to cover my living space while working, neatened up the area at the end of each work day and upon completion of the work in each room swept and cleaned up after himself. It is plasterwork after all, but my cleanup was minimized due to the care he took while working.Mr. Hall had a pleasant demeanor and was a gentleman at all times. I feel the quality of his work, his work ethic and his professionalism more than justify his cost. I would hire him again.
Description of Work: Multiple areas of plaster needed repair either due to water damage or unsightly cracking. Mr. Hall's estimates and descriptions of areas to be repaired were very specific (this was helpful as only part of the repairs were covered by insurance.) His experience in what is fast becoming a lost art (that of plastering) was impressive.He did not cut corners to save time, but patiently took out the old plaster down to the lathe and restored it to look like original plasterwork.

We needed stucco repair on our house prior to exterior painting. (The painting company did not feel comfortable with performing the extent of the stucco repair that was needed.) Ken was accommodating to our schedules, estimate was reasonable, the work was done quickly, the clean-up was so good that you didn't even know he was there.
Description of Work: Repair of exterior stucco on 1925 tudor in prep for painting.

Things were excellent. He was punctual, he was very tidy - he didn't even leave any dust anywhere. He was very neat, and he was very quiet about his work. He probably put in about a five or six-hour day and completed everything as planned. He answered any questions we had, and everything was very self-contained. He asked for some water, and he asked to use the restroom, but those were reasonable requests. He was very careful to close the gate to make sure the dogs didn't get out. He basically delivered on exactly what he told us he would be doing. He's not sales-y at all. He should learn some phone presence and learn to market himself a little better. It's almost to a detriment, but he's so nice and he's just a gentle soul. I feel comfortable with what he did. It wasn't over the top, but it was an appropriate amount of money and gave me reassurance that there was nothing wrong. He was punctual, and he followed up with me on the phone. He met every expectation.
Description of Work: He repaired cracks and the integrity of the stucco on the exterior of our home.

He came and gave us an estimate and it was significantly higher than what our insurance would allow and higher than the bidder we went with. It was 400 or 500 dollars higher and didn't include all the work that we had done by our other bidder.

Ken is a very soft-spoken but friendly man when you get to know him. A professional in every way. He arrived for an estimate promptly, submitted the bid withing 24 hours, and appeared for the work when promised. Once begun, he worked everyday from 9 to 4, including Saturdays until the job was done, even though I am sure it took longer than he expected it to.
Description of Work: Ken removed all blistered and crumbling plaster in several areas, repaired the lath were necessary and applied finish coating. He also dealt comprehensively with many ceiling and wall cracks in my 70-year old home. There was one area that I had not noticed when he bid it but he did it, and only charged me a very reasonable 200 dollars more for that job. Also, during the job, I had a door replaced by a window. It required complete plastering all around the area. You cannot tell from the inside that the window is anything but the original construction.

Excellent. Not much more to say. Performed job exactly as expected. Arrived at 9:30am as planned and was complete with cleanup by 4:00pm the same day. I chose Ken because I wanted someone who did plaster work all the time and I am very happy with the results.
Description of Work: Repairs to plaster in a bedroom. Repairs to cracks at door and window frames. Repairs of two small holes in plaster. Repair of crumbling plaster and smoothing of joint where original plaster met a drywall patch. Complete repair of a 2x2 foot area of plaster that had water damage. Smoothing of ceiling where plaster was cracked and irregular.

I contacted Ken for an estimate and he responded quickly to set up time to complete the estimate. He answered all my questions about the job and the level of damage and he asked the necessary questions regarding the extent of the damage and my expectations. His written quote came quickly following and he was able to schedule the work within 3-4 weeks of agreement, consistent with the lead time he had indicated up front. The work took longer than originally expected due to the condition of the walls and extent of repairs needed, but Ken held the price firm as quoted.
Description of Work: Ken and his assistant repaired multiple areas of plaster and drywall cracking and damage. In one room, the ceiling had cracked, apparently at previously existing damage areas. In the second room, the ceiling had been replaced with drywall several years ago and the joining at the wall/ceiling seam was not done properly, resulting in cracking. Additionally, there had been mortar issues on the exterior that led to interior plaster water damage that had to be repaired. All repairs were completed by Ken and his assistant with high quality and they cleaned up the work area very nicely.

We had a hard time coordinating our calendars due to my work schedule but Ken made it over one evening to give us a quote for the job. He was very good about returning phone calls. He seemed very knowledgeable and willing to work with us on completing the job while no one else was home. He completed the job in 2 days as he described and did a very good job on the repairs. He even took care of another patch required in the closet after the original quote. He was also patient while some plumbing work was being done, which limited access to water for a short time. He also did a good job of trying to contain the plaster dust to the work area. Ken came back later in the week at our convenience to touch up a couple of small spots that just needed sanding down. Over all we were very happy with the work and will most likely be asking for his help on other projects.
Description of Work: We had one room in need of plastering work to repair cracks and holes in the walls as well as a hole in a closet.

Ken Hall is doing the work his father started in the 60s, he has been doing this work since he was young and he knows his stuff. Because this room required several layers, it took a few days to complete and let each layer dry properly. For this project it was only Mr. Hall, he let us know his expected schedule and worked around our schedule as well. When we were first scheduling the job, it took a day or more for Mr. Hall to return calls, but we are pleased with the results and happy to recommend him.
Description of Work: We had one bedroom that had a surface texture, we didn't like. It took several coatings to smooth out the wall and give it the finish we wanted.

Ken came to bid the job and was very quick to get the bid to us. Once we accepted the bid, he scheduled us and started on the agreed date. Ken did an outstanding job. The workmanship is top notch. He took his time to make sure we were happy. He stayed two days longer because he wanted to address some areas he was not satisfied with. He is very particular about his work. Ken cleaned up everyday before he left. This is the second time we have had him do work. We would definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Repaired all nicks, cracks and any loose plaster in our kitchen after the demolition for the kitchen remodel. Also, removed loose plaster and installed new lath where needed. Skimmed and covered all walls with joint compound to smooth them out.

Ed was early/on time, polite and courteous. He was reasonably priced and while I received several estimates for the work, will simply call him in the future for other work. As I mentioned earlier, he was very accommodating to our schedules and volunteered to perform some extra work for free so the entire ceiling in the room looks completely redone/new.
Description of Work: After a leak in the plumbing, a 16 sq ft area in the ceiling needed repaired. He did an excellent job repairing the requested work and volunteered to fix some of the small cracks that were beginning to appear in the ceiling for free. He also was willing to come earlier that his average start time to accomidate our schedules
