Master Plastering & Services, Inc.

Master Plastering & Services, out of Lowell, is the call for a hole in the ceiling or a texture-matching plaster repair — reviewers keep landing on the same detail: a patch so well matched it's "as if there was no repair done at all." With 141 Google reviews averaging 4.8★ and a BBB A+ grade, the volume backs the pattern up. The bulk of the work is plaster, drywall, and ceiling repair — water-damage patches, popcorn-ceiling removal, seam and texture matching — with interior and exterior painting mixed into the same jobs (deck staining, whole-condo repaints, trim work). Marcio, who runs the crew, shows up personally on many jobs to quote and check in; several customers describe a quote-to-finished-repair turnaround of just a few days. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. The written record runs from 2021 to today, and the last six months brought 14 reviews with none negative — recent momentum looks strong. Three older complaints are worth knowing about, though: in a 2025 review, a customer said the company stopped returning emails about paint damage and unfinished seam work; in a 2023 review, a Woburn customer described a paint job gone wrong and a pantry install done by a crew that "had no idea what they were doing"; and a 2022 review described an unmasked crew, plaster left in the yard, a damaged sink, and a ceiling that cracked within months. None of these repeat in the recent record, but painting and finish-quality complaints have surfaced more than once over the years. A solid pick for a plaster or drywall repair — a ceiling hole, a water-damage patch, texture matching — where the reviews are most consistent. If the job is mainly painting, it's worth asking who's actually on the crew and doing a walk-through before they leave.
