I've used Plaster Professionals twice now, on two very different jobs. The first one was a…read morestraight forward bagging of an exterior brick fence. Well, it was meant to be straight forward. Turned out that our brickie wasn't a fan of straight lines, so the bagging had to fix up all the imperfections. George and Tibor fixed it all up, and kept to the agreed price! The second job was my personal home - a Victorian with many original features, and heaps of cracking from the drought. Plaster Professionals handled it all - from the little ones to the big ones. Not only did they do the skim coating that you'd expect, they fixed up some spots where the original cornice work was in pretty bad shape. You just can't find these sorts of skills on the market anymore - unless you get George and Tibor. They also passed two critical tests: 1) Even my painter was complimentary. You just don't see that - painters typically blame the plasterers for everything. 2) After three months, there are still no signs of cracks anywhere - and I mean even the little spider cracks that we used to get weekly. These guys gave me a fair price, took their time and were very careful of our floors and furnishings. They were very conscientious about our home and cleaned up after themselves carefully. It wasn't fast, but it was done right and at a very good value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Plaster Professionals to anyone.

I needed to get some decent frames for a couple of prints that I purchased while I was in Europe,…read moreand I decided that I would try this place. Well, it turns out that frames actually aren't all that cheap, though the staff here were pretty helpful. Mind you, like a lot of these places, they generally sell originals, not prints, or if they do sell prints, they tend to be for artists that don't happen to be dead. That's a bit of a shame, though it could be because stores generally only have so much space. It was good though, and they do have some interesting works here as well.

Really poor customer service and poor quality control on products…read more They gave me a sample of engineered timber and said the veneer was 3mm. So I measured it and it came to 2.5mm. I called the manager and he flatly denied it was 2.5mm and said I was the problem. Appalling response. He then claimed there was a tolerance of 2.75mm to 3.25mm, which means their engineered floors - which are supposed to be 'finished' and don't require sanding or oil - can have up to 0.5mm difference from one plank to the next. Imagine walking on that floor ... He then changed direction and claimed if there were any issues when laying the floor it was because the client doesn't know what they are doing. Nice. That's the kind of support I want when I hand over $5,000 - $10,000 to a business ... Clearly, they're not up to listening or working through problems with clients, and instead attack or challenge their clients when they draw attention to defects in their product line. I suggest you avoid them and take your business elsewhere - I know I will.

I love my new blinds and curtains I ordered through the Curtain Machine. As a younger new home…read moreowner I haven't ever bought blinds before yet the process was easy. I ordered some great plantation shutters for my bathroom and they turned out great,. Really stylish and great quality and wasn't that expensive. Then we got some curtains for the bedrooms and it was so nice to have a huge selection of fabrics to choose from. There would have been a whole wall of fabric swatches to choose from which was great at the Essendon showroom. We live in Brunswick and had the whole house done and I love the new feel of our house. The whole project cost around $6000 which was great value as we got some more expensive fabrics to last us the next 5-10 years.

This art gallery / art school / framing business is run by a bubbly Port Melbourne local who is…read moresuper passionate about her art and her students. I am reviewing only the framing part of the business. I came here for some framing on a couple of recent purchases. One small, one large with frayed paper edging. Both screen print style art, they came unframed but I didn't want them to just be stuck up like posters. I took them in to Port Art to get an idea of what could be done. I was nervous about the frayed one as I had a real set picture in mind of how I wanted it to look even though it was untraditional with no boarding on the edges. The selection of frames here are really nice and because the framer is also an artist, she's very particular about how she wants the final product to look. A lot of time and care was taken to pick the right boarding and frame that we liked. Framing is not a cheap exercise but I think they are well priced here. Originally for the smaller piece, we looked at the cost (almost the same as the large piece) and wondered if we would have better off saving our pennies and trying to make it work in a pre-made frame. But once we got the end result we were 100% happy that we didn't. Both turned out beautifully and I couldn't be happier with them, especially the large one. They were also taken care to be framed in a way that would last, while allowing us to change them if our tastes change down the track.
