He came a long way and mixed custom colors for the room. We have a graduated ceiling. We were very happy with it and the colors looked like what they said they would. He will be doing another room for us this fall.
Description of Work: Living Walls does plastering and clay walls, he does natural paints and plasters. For me, he plastered a room and painted.

He did some work on the basement and also some excellent trim work on the kitchen. I liked his general knowledge about building in general. He had a very reasonable price and I would recommend him to everyone.
Description of Work: They did some carpentry for the remodel on our basement.

Very good experience. Joshua is responsive and on time and does very good work. We had a little bit of an issue with having the plaster meet the granite in an even reveal, but Joshua was willing to make it right. He came back several times to make sure the job was completed to our satisfaction. He's also very tidy and conscientious. It looks really great and we are happy we found him.
Description of Work: Had fireplace plaster smoothed and then two layers of American clay was troweled on over plaster.

I was very pleased with Joshua from the beginning because he was very considerate as far as returning phone calls and keeping appointments. He was very friendly and personable, and his knowledge of the many strange things going on in my hundred year old home inspired much confidence. I originally wanted him to plaster two rooms, but he advised me that one of them really didn't need that level of repair and offered suggestions on how to do the work myself if I wanted, which was very much appreciated. The clay plaster he used in the second room has very few ingredients (which he mixed on the spot) and beyond the fact that it is a much more environmentally friendly choice than latex paint, it has a beautiful natural appearance with slight color/texture variations that lend a lot of visual interest to the finish. He was very thorough, always available to discuss questions and concerns, and did a beautiful job on my walls. It was a pleasure working with Joshua and I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: I called Joshua initially wanting a simple plaster coat on the walls of two of the bedrooms in my new (old) home, one of which was previously covered with wallpaper and the other which featured various textures and flaws from many coats of paint, plaster, and who knows what else throughout the years. After an initial consultation Joshua provided me with small samples of his clay plaster color palette, then larger samples of the colors I was interested in. I chose two colors for the walls and one for the ceiling of my bedroom, which Joshua applied over about 465 sq. ft. of space within a six day time frame. Following the plaster application and a drying period he did quite a bit of finish work, smoothing things out and touching up to a beautiful finish. He also did repair work in the second room, stabilizing the ceiling where some cracking had occurred in the plaster and smoothing it over with a coat of gypsum.

Joshua was pleasant to work with, conscientious and thorough. He clearly explained our options and readily answered questions throughout the process. He has many color sample boards to choose from, so you have a fairly good idea of how the finished surface will look. He was quick to address minor surface issues wherever I had concerns. He was good about staying in touch, and was accessible by phone and by email. The clay plaster looks terrific. Our walls were in pretty sad condition with lots of rough areas and a mishmash of materials, and the plaster really unifies the room and makes it look much more polished. And for the amount and quality of work he does, his prices seem quite reasonable.
Description of Work: Joshua plastered our small bathroom in two phases, using American Clay Plaster. During the first phase, he plastered the upper portion of our shower and an adjoining wall. During the second phase, he plastered the remaining wall and ceiling surfaces. Both phases required a fair amount of prep work beyond the usual - patching rough areas, smoothing over areas where two different materials met, etc. He did all of the prep work, plastering and finish work. In the shower area, he applied a sealant to increase water resistance.
