LF Tighe Plastering is a Saugus plaster and drywall shop that homeowners call in after damage — a burst pipe, a leaking tenant's toilet, a wall or ceiling that needs rebuilding — as much as for routine work like popcorn-ceiling removal and painting. HomeAdvisor's directory lists 31 years of experience and puts crown molding, water-damage patching, new construction, kitchens, bathrooms, additions, exterior stucco and texturing among its offered services. Reviews from 2023 and 2024 keep circling back to careful finish work and clear communication. One 2024 review called a popcorn-ceiling removal and paint job perfect, with the walls and floors protected during the work; a 2023 review described Leo walking a condo resident through a water-damage repair step by step after a tenant's leaking toilet came through the ceiling. Another 2023 review credited an outstanding job of framing, reconstruction, plastering and painting after a burst pipe damaged part of the home. HomeAdvisor puts the overall record at 4.8 stars from 28 reviews. Two 2023 reviews describe a rockier side: one customer paid $1,000 toward paint and then waited two to three weeks past a promised start date; another paid $1,500 to start a job, had materials delivered, and said the work never began because Leo said he was moving. A strong call for plaster, drywall repair and water-damage work — the finished product draws consistent praise — but ask about the start date up front; two 2023 customers said their jobs didn't begin when promised after a deposit changed hands.

Leo did a great job! Pricing was reasonable and the job was done professionally and in a timely manner. We will definitely use him again.
Great job removing popcorn ceiling. Painted them and interior walls as well! Very happy with both jobs?
The job was perfect, and they left my home very clean as they protected the walls and floors. The price was an exceptional value.
Amazing service, very attentive and communicative. I would 100-% recommend whether it is a small or big project
Got ripped off. Paid $1500 to start. Bought material and delivered on June 10. He was supposed to start prep, but said he couldn’t as he was moving.
