I would not recommend this contractor based on my experience. I had contacted them to repair aged ceiling plaster that fell in my apartment which is a straight forward repair. A couple of things:
1) Bad Scheduling and Communication - the original work was supposed to be done in 2 days, but they said they needed a third day to complete the job. Sure, no problem...except they never showed up on the third day and didn't tell me. This is very unprofessional and inconvenient since my tenants set aside their day to make sure they were available to let them in.
2) Unprofessional-ism - As we scheduled to get the job done, more of the ceiling cracked so I made a mistake by asking them to fix the additional spot and see if other spots needed to be fixed proactively. They said yes, they can fix additional spots and paint the entire ceiling and the job will take 3 days. The worker comes to do the work on the first day, and never showed up on the following day. Again, no notice that they weren't going to show up and again, my tenants had set aside their days to let them in. This is the second time now so I was about to ditch this contractor, but they said they will absolutely finish the job on the next day
3) Bad Quality/craftsmanship - I posted before and after pictures. While the ceiling is "repaired" -- it looks horrible and I'll most likely have to get it redone. I had this done by another contractor 10 years ago on another spot and the finished product looked smooth so that you couldn't tell that the ceiling had been damaged at all. Not with this finished product though.
I would have let #1 and 2 slide IF the end result was high quality of work. But the result is unacceptable to me and I worry that the more of the ceiling will crack since I have no confidence in their skills in this area. Beware other yelpers -- they don't have many reviews for a reason. read more
