“Joe and his team were spectacular! We contracted him to scrape the popcorn ceilings on our 30-year-old house, repair, mud, apply a lace finish, and paint. Professional, prompt, and excellent work — and his work is guaranteed. I can’t recommend him enough!”

“Joe did excellent work for us on some cracked plaster. Great communication, easy to work with, and the finished work matches perfectly. Plaster workers are hard to find and we are glad to have found him!”

“Joe and his helper did an outstanding job replacing the ceiling in a room of our very old modular home. They hung new drywall, taped and mudded the seams, and painted — now it’s impossible to tell where the seams are.”
