Master Plastering & Services, Inc.

Master Plastering & Services is a Lowell company specialising in plastering and ceiling and wall repair, with painting, drywall, carpentry, tile, spray foam insulation and handyman work offered alongside it. Its own site dates the business to 2010 and says the owner supervises every project himself rather than through project managers; the owner named throughout the reviews is Marcio. The company holds Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration 194618, verified active in the state registry under the company's own name, and carries an A+ Better Business Bureau grade. The bread-and-butter job is a damaged ceiling. A May 2026 customer had a twenty-inch square cut in a ceiling to reach a leaking pipe and said the crew matched the existing shell pattern when patching it. An April 2026 reviewer had a large hole left by a plumbing repair closed up. A November 2025 customer had put off a kitchen ceiling hole for months expecting days of dust and furniture moving, and found Marcio and Flavio finished it without that. A December 2025 reviewer had dozens of holes in exterior walls made to disappear, with several different paint colours matched so full walls did not need repainting. Bigger work shows up too. A December 2023 customer had a 200-square-foot bedroom ceiling replaced including insulation, vapour barrier, blueboard and plaster. An April 2024 job covered ceilings, wallpaper removal, painting three rooms and new flooring in two. In February 2024 the company built a family restroom out of unused space in a 250-year-old church. Cleanliness is the single most repeated compliment — drop cloths down, not a drop of paint or board dust left, quiet crews. Repeat hiring is common: several reviewers are on their second or third project. The complaints are worth reading alongside that. A May 2023 customer in Woburn who hired the company for a pantry installation and a whole-condo repaint called the paint job a disaster while allowing they may be good at plastering. A March 2022 reviewer said grout on a kitchen backsplash installed in July 2021 began cracking within months. A May 2022 account describes plaster clumps left in the yard, a wrecked pantry sink and a ceiling that had already cracked. A September 2025 reviewer said emails about damage left after a ceiling repaint and unfixed seams went unanswered. The pattern in those accounts is that the work outside the plastering core — painting, tile, and follow-up after a complaint — is where things have gone wrong. Hire accordingly, and agree in writing who comes back and when if something needs a second visit.
