plastering
+ -1 moreDon and his partner came on time and began the work. Don had his associate do the plastering while he talked to me or was on the phone. When the job was completed, it looked entirely different than the job Don had done for me on my other bathroom. The other bathroom was lightly swirled and without lumps in the plaster, and each swirl was pretty much like the other. Very symmetrical and neat. I wanted this job to be just like that one, but it turned out to be more like a stucco job. Heavy swirls and lumps. It looked like a job done quickly for a rental unit. Completely unlike the first job Don had done himself. When I called Don a week or so later, he did volunteer to come over and make the job right. However, since I was under some other time restraints, I had already put a primer coat on the plaster and had to finish painting before some other work was scheduled to begin. My suggestion to anyone considering hiring A-1 Plastering is to ensure that Don do the job himself......otherwise, you'll not be sure what you're getting.
Description of Work: I contracted with A-1 to put a skim coat, swirled, in a small 3 X 5 foot powder room.

plastering
+ -1 moreDon, the owner of A-1 Plastering, and his helper Ken were both very professional and polite. When you have Don over for a bid, it can be a bit confusing because he is constantly thinking of his approach to the job and will forget that you don't always know what he's talking about. It's really funny. He'll say something about having to scab that wall for extra support, etc., then when he realilzes that you look confused, he explains it in layman's terms. You can tell he's been in the business for many years. He leaves you with a good feeling that he knows what he's doing.........and judging by the results of his work, he does. I will be hiring this company for more work in the near future.
Description of Work: I am remodelling my small 9x6' bathroom. It had multiple layers of wallpaper over drywall, and when my wife stripped the walls, the drywall was badly damaged. Apparently the original builders (Ryan) didn't bother to size the walls so the paper tore the top layer of the drywall off along with the paper. A real mess. Don, the owner of A-1 Plastering, gave me a bid over the phone 2 days after looking the room over. That was on Sunday. I called him on Tuesday to tell him that I wanted him to go ahead and do the job. By Thursday--2 days later--the job was finished! What service! He came on Wednesday, painted a coat of primer on the old drywall to seal it, then reviewed the situation again. He decided that I needed additional support behind the tub so that another company could attach the tile without having difficulties. (I'm having another company install the ceramic tile around the tub and lower half of the bathroom). Adding additional wood supports (scabs) is really the other company's job, but since he was there, he did it for them, no additional charge. (You get the feeling that he wants to ensure that the job is done correctly). He also tore-off some drywall so that I could access the shower head to fix a loose pipe connection. Again, not part of his bid, he just did it to be helpful to me. He then proceeded to plaster the walls and was finished for the day. The next day Don came and applied the skim coat of plaster and gave it a beautiful sand (swirl) finish. I also had the choice of a smooth finish, but selected the swirl. Don was finished by 1:00. He originally told me he would be at my house both days between 9 and 10 a.m. He arrived exactly on time both days.

stucco, plastering
+ 0 moreOver all the stucco and plaster look great. The plaster and stucco are so beautiful I've had the painting contractors that bid on painting the new plaster and the exterior of the house comment on it. The price was not the lowest, but it wasn't the highest either.
Description of Work: We had A1 plastering re do the stucco on the back of our house about 4 years ago and had such a good experience that we called Don back when we noticed problems with the stucco in another part of the house. Unfortunately, we asked him to wait a few months to do the repairs and ended up with damage to the plaster on the inside of the house. I called and explained the additional issues we were having and he came out with following week so that we wouldn't have any more damage to the plaster. He and his crew fixed the plaster on the inside of the house and identified the source of the damage to the stucco so we could prevent future damage.
