We went back and forth on phone calls a few times before connecting, but Bob was very considerate in assessing cracks as those which really needed to be repaired in contrast to those that structurally weren't a problem, " because crack is what stucco does." He found a couple places where chunks had come off that we had not seen and made perfect repairs. He also fixed a couple places by the garage where a painter had previously just slapped in some plaster. He's very skilled.
Description of Work: Repaired cracks and some larger chunks of stucco on a 100 year old east side house. Bob did a great job of matching the color of the repairs to the house and his stucco style is a perfect match. Really pleased with the result and he was wonderful to work with.

Bob came over very soon after calling him for an estimate. Bob was a very punctual and a polite person to work with. He listened to my concerns and than proceeded to up with a plan. He is very knowledgeable and explains the work that needs to be done. Since this room had been semi started years ago, it was a little more problematic. But Bob explained how he would proceed and why he would do it this way. The ceiling needed special attention to start off with. Because there was lathe up there already from many years ago, he wanted to use metal lathe over this to assure no cracks would form in the future. A special bonding material also had to be used on the ceiling. Blue board was used on the side walls and than everything received a coating of plaster and then finish plaster. Bob made great efforts to keep the dust under control and the house clean. The stairs were covered with cloth and the bedroom had been covered as well. Plastic was used to cover the doorway to help keep everything clean. His cleanup was wonderful!! I am very pleased with the outcome of this job. The plastered walls look beautiful. Bob had his son working with him on this job. Both of these men are very easy to work with and would definitely have them back if I ever needed help again. This job took approximately 6 days and was completed within the timeframe given to me.
Description of Work: Bob Bartelak and his son lathed and plastered an 18' x 13.5' bedroom that contained two closets sizes 2' x 8' plus 4' x 5'.

I needed cracks repaired in a bedroom of an 80 year old house. The room was already empty as I was going to also refinish the floor after plaster repair & painting. I received an estimate and a date for the work to be scheduled. Bob & his crew showed up when they were supposed to & did an excellent job repairing the plaster. I have used Bartelak Plastering several times before & their work is consistently good with a great work ethic.

He is very experienced and very skilled. He is a second generation plaster guy and very competitive on the price. He is a great guy to work with. He is really an expert and it is hard to find people with his expertise and experience. I would recommend him to anyone who has an interior plaster job or exterior stucco job and they want someone who has the experience, the rare skill and expertise. They have to use Bartelak. I intend to use him for some plaster work.

From start to finish it was a pleasure to work with Bob Bartelak. Hands down one of the most professional and dedicated service person we have had the pleasure to work with in a long time. Bob is truly a craftsman at his profession. Our job started on a Tuesday and was completed the following Thursday exactly on time. Bob got back to me within a day- setting up a time slot to come and give me a estimate. He was always on time. He covered and quot;EVERYTHINGand quot; and I do mean everything! From my back door where he came in- he layered canvas tarp, throughout the house, into our bedroom and into our master bath where much of the work was to be done. I have never had anyone care about and quot;myand quot; house the way he did. A+ there. The work was completed and was perfect! I am so happy with my new repairs. I was told by someone that Bob Bartelak was the and quot;best plaster repairmanand quot; in Milwaukee and they were right! I would highly recommend Bob to anyone. THANKS BOB FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE! It's so nice to find people that truly care about your project, the outcome of their work, and how the homeowner feels about the work done.
Description of Work: Repaired plaster in 3 skylights. Repaired ceiling in bathroom, drywall in bathroom, cracks on both sides of fireplace where it meets the ceiling, repaired cracks on upstairs wall where it meets the ceiling & door frame & repaired crack where two walls meet in living room.

He did an excellent job. He came on time. He did the work for several days because he put a layer off and then come back and he placed coating and everything. He did the work he was contracted to do and I was very pleased. We had a new back door put in and the gentleman that did it was actually the person that worked on our siding outside and he put outdoor caulking around the door that he put in. And when we went to remove it, the whole wall came off. So this gentleman came in and repaired the huge piece of plaster that had come off. That's a long explanation but he did a really, really fine job.

The service was tremendous. Great care was taken to protect our plantings and the grounds were returned to their original condition. The work was skillful and thorough. The new stucco was feathered into the existing stucco to create a seamless repair. Also, more work was done than was scoped, but at no additional cost. A true professional and now our and quot;go toand quot; stucco guy.

Bob was wonderful. When I called he answered his phone promptly. We set up a convenient time for an estimate. On that day he arrived on time and explained what he would do. I booked him right away because I was on a tight time schedule and had not planned on replastering a wall until I had taken off 2 layers of wallpaper. I had an electrician coming in to take out an outlet found in the wall and I needed to paint the room before resurfacing cabinets and installing countertops. My home was built in 1938 so the plaster was old and had some repair work done in the past. Bob was very accommodating to my time constraints. He arrived 5 days later to do the work. He arrived on time. He got right to work and conducted himself in a professional manner. He cleaned up after himself and left my home just as clean as before he arrived. The work was done in 3 hours and he explained how long I would have to wait before painting. The wall looked terrific! On the day before I was to begin painting I noticed some dark spots had appeared in one section of the wall. I called Bob right away because I was afraid it might be mold. He answered his phone immediately and answered my questions. He could tell I was still concerned so he offered to come over within a half hour to check it out. He was there within 30 minutes. After looking at my wall, he assured me that it was just some color bleeding through and that a good stainblocking primer would work well. I was very relieved. Bob made sure the job was well done and that I was satisfied - even 4 days after the work was done. I would not hesitate to call Bob again.

Bob, who is the owner, came by one day after work, asked what I wanted done and gave me a good quote. I have an old house with an large arched ceiling in the living room which had mutiple cracks in it . The previous owner did handyman repairs to it and it was not done correctly. Being an older house,it had old swirls patterns in the plaster and I needed someone who knew (old school) how to repair and match it. Most other plaster companies wanted to do the whole ceiling, charging me a lot of money. I told Bob that I only wanted the cracks done as the whole ceiling did not need to be repaired and I was going to re-paint the whole room later anyway. He was fine with that and quoted me on each crack I wanted repaired. I scheduled a date with him to perform the work. Bob and his son arrived on time, set-up plastic to minimize dust. Thet were very nice and proffesional per my wife as she was home when they performed the work. They even moved the couch out of the way and offered to move all the furniture back if my wife wanted them to. They were very accomodating. They cut the sections of the cracks out, cleaning the exposed area area, installed metal mesh in the ceiling and applyed new plaster leveling it with the ceiling. He matched the swirl patterns in the ceiling exactly, blending it to the old ceiling. They cleaned-up and there was very little dust when they were done. Bob and his son spent most of the day here. As I told him that I was going to paint the ceiling myself, he gave my wife instructions on how long to let the ceiling dry and what kind of of paint to use on it. We were very pleased with Bob's work and professionalism and would certanly use him again and highly reccomend him.

Spanish plaster walls with multiple coats of paint had cracks and areas of lifting old plaster. I also requested that several plaster-over-lath decorative frames attached to the walls be removed. Mr. Bartelak explained the challenges of trying to match the texture of new plaster with the old and before arriving to work had made up a sample board of what to expect. Hr was particularly concerned that the new work not obviously outline the areas of the removed frames. He was assisted by his son, and they were very courteous and professional, put up plastic barriers and kept dust to a minimum, and did a great job. I am very happy with his work and will gladly use his services again.
