Allied Plastering And Painting is a family business run by Derek, who says on Thumbtack that it has been passed down from generations. In a 2024 review, a customer said Derek plastered a large hole in their ceiling at a reasonable price, and that the work blended in so well with the established pattern that you can't tell where the existing finish ends. In a 2025 review, a customer who hired Allied for a ceiling repair project in a condo building said Derek was prompt with an estimate, sent updates during the job and always showed up when he said he would. In a 2022 review, a customer whose drywall job had to be rescheduled because of plumbing delays said Derek worked with them to reschedule, followed up the next week as planned, and that the drywall came out great. In a separate 2024 review, a customer who had water damage repaired said Derek kept them informed through schedule changes and did a good job.
Derek was a pro in every aspect. He was more than willing to fit the job into my schedule. He was respectful, neat and fair with his price. The quality of his work is top notch. I will definitely use him again in the future.
I hired Allied for a ceiling repair project in my condo building. Derek was prompt in giving an estimate for the job, communicative during the job with updates, and always showed up when he said he would. These are rare qualities in a contractor. The price was also reasonable for the scope of work done. I'm happy to recommend Derek and his company for your ceiling repair needs.
Derek did an excellent job plastering a large hole in our ceiling at a reasonable price. His work was efficient and high quality. More importantly, his worked blended in so well with the established pattern. You can't tell where the existing finish ends and his work begins.
When I was looking to have some water damage repaired, Derek was the only one who responded. He had good reviews, so I went with him. We settled on a quote and then had to wait for the chimney repair--which took weeks longer than expected. Derek stayed in touch and then set a date/time. He kept me informed when he had to change the time and then change it back. It was a very small job, but I can't tell where the correction is. Derek was very pleasant and did a good job.
Derek was was a professional and did a great job. We needed to reschedule our drywall job because of delays with plumbing but he worked with us to reschedule and followed up the next week as planned. The drywall came out great and Derek was efficient and neat.
