I bought a 1931 house that had knob and tube wiring. After the electrician was done I had lots of…read moreholes that needed to be repaired. My walls are lathe & plaster. Yelp reviews and another tradesmen recommended Joseph J Jefferson & Son as the company to hire. My job was a smaller one. With tax I paid $5,100. I got the bid the same week I called. And they were able to schedule me 2 weeks later. The job took about a week. (The plaster repair requires building up layers and letting them dry at the end of the day). I was told when they bid on the job that I might be able to tell after the job was done where the repair was. But for the most part once I painted I can't really tell. My home was protected with drop cloths each day. It was a very tidy process. In addition to the holes they also cleaned up around outlets and light fixtures. I am so thrilled with the results. If you are in the same boat of needing plaster repair, you won't regret working with Joseph J Jefferson & Son.

It is important to us that we retain the integrity of the home, and of the stories it holds-- when it came to plasterwork, we needed some general maintenance and some more serious repair. When our original plaster guy no-showed we panicked-- the snowball effect on the other subcontractors and work to be done would be devastating. We stumbled upon Ornamental Plaster Arts on Yelp and with no reviews, hoped for the best. Hazma, and the work he's done, is beyond "the best". He was responsive, communicative, and clearly an expert at his craft. After looking at his website and the complexity and depth of his work, our flat plaster repair is clearly beneath his skill set, but Hamza didn't treat it, us or our home that way. He genuinely treated it like it was a cathedral. He enjoys his craft and it shows in the final product. We had a decades old repair-gone-wrong in the living room and fairly extensive repair in our kitchen from old plumbing work, the removal of old wood burning stove venting, some weird mold etc. He took it all down to the lath, built it back up, and patched a number of smaller scale holes/damages left from our re-wire. AND as a bonus Hamza is kind, funny, and knowledgeable about the quirks of old homes. We found our guy. It'll be Hamza and no one else.

He did a a great job patching the holes from our knob and tube repair. Even our other contractors complimented his work. If you need anything to be fixed he'll promptly come back and take a look I would highly recommend Hamza to anyone looking for plaster repair after knob and tube replacement

My wife and I recently decided we wanted to install two new doors on our house. Both doors…read morepresented a bit of a challenge: one we wanted to be larger than the existing opening and the second was an external door leading into our basement. Knowing this was going to be a good size job, we got a few quotes before starting the work. Daniel was one of the quotes. While he was not the cheapest, I was impressed with his knowledge and the thoroughness of the estimate. He also gave us a sheet of references and after calling some we picked him for the job. Right away I knew we made the correct choice. He did an excellent job guiding us through the process of picking out the doors and letting us know the type of hardware. When it was time for the work to start he was very communicative as to what he was going to do and when. He also sent me a few photos of the work in progress during the day so I could see what was going on. It was a nice touch. When the job was complete it came in on budget and was well done.

Well, very small turned out to be not-so-small and we needed a contractor to help. Many of the contractors I contacted never returned my calls or emails. Of those who did, only Daniel asked lots of questions, came out to meet us and see the house, and stayed in contact without aggressively selling to us at every turn. Daniel was a pleasure to work with in every respect. He communicated frequently, was straightforward with us about options and cost and delivered a quick, professional result. He was friendly and respectful even though our little job and house are much smaller than his normal work. We're so thankful that we found a good contractor on our first try and will definitely work with Westbrook Restorations again! (Note: Westbrook Restorations isn't going to be your cheapest option, and it may likely be the most expensive, but it's absolutely worth it).

We are so glad we went with Wise Choice!…read more After meeting with several contractors, my wife and I chose them to do an addition to our house. We first learned about Wise Choice through Yelp, and although we were initially nervous about choosing a contractor for such a large job (they gave us the best estimate, by far!) without a personal recommendation, we couldn't be happier with our decision. They were great to work with throughout the entire process, from architectural and engineering plans, permitting, and the actual construction. The project manager, Sergiy, and foreman, Bogdan, were very honest, helpful, and responsive every step of the way. The project was completed pretty much on budget (with only a couple of unforeseen issues outside of their control) and on time. We love the results, and several people have commented that the addition looks like it should have been there all along. We can't recommend Wise Choice highly enough!

They appeared, inspected the subfloor problems and provided me with a direct schedule on the spot. Well, the outcome is excellent the floor is now as solid as a rock, there is no more annoying squeaks and the finish is beautiful. They left no mess and even adhered to the schedule. No underhanded expenses, merely equitable labor. I am glad I have at last found someone who knows how to get about a floor.
