Ceilings are the job here. A 2022 customer said Steve and his crew, Charlie and Paul, repaired a hole where plaster had fallen from a ceiling in an 1840s Victorian on the East side and duplicated five feet of decorative plaster molding. That 2022 customer said Steve matched the paint to the ceiling. Steven DeFreitas shows 4.9 stars from 27 ratings on HomeAdvisor. A 2019 customer wrote that Steve and his crew installed 17 sheets of wallboard and custom plastered a ceiling, and that he stayed on the job all day, every day, until it was finished. A 2021 customer said Steven hung wallboard, plastered the walls and ceilings and painted a family room after water damage from a burst pipe. A 2022 customer said Steven came in with a plasterer and repaired water damage to a ceiling in less than 3 hours, after being quoted a price half of what another company quoted. A 2021 customer called the work very expensive: $5,000 to redo a living room ceiling a previous contractor had botched after removing 3 skylights. That 2021 customer said the job involved cutting out wallboard and some of the old skylight framing, installing furring strips, reinstalling wallboard, plastering and painting. A 2020 customer wrote that Joe matched the existing swirl on a ceiling repair, but that walls, shelves and floors needed cleaning afterward. That 2020 customer added that Steve later contacted them, apologized and offered to refund some of the money for the lack of cleanup.
Steven was responsive, easy to work with and quick to come out and do the actual repairs. Will hire again for future needs.
I was quoted a price that was half of what another company quoted. Steven came in with a plasterer and repaired water damage to my ceiling in less than 3 hours. They did a beautiful job and cleaned up afterward. Would highly recommend.
When my parents died, I had to sell their 1840s Victorian on the East side. Some plaster had fallen from a ceiling, along with five feet of decorative plaster molding where the ceiling met the wall. I needed to get that repaired before I could put the house on the market. I sent photos around, but every plasterer in town was afraid to take the job. Steve and his crew (Charlie and Paul) accepted the challenge and did a great job of repairing the hole and duplicating the molding. They worked around my schedule and got the job finished exactly when they said they would. Steve matched the paint to the ceiling and the repair blends in so well with the rest of the room, you'd never know anything had happened. They went beyond, fixing a few other cracks in the room, and did a great job of cleaning up when they were done.
Communication was great and the job was completed on time and no surprise extra costs.
Steve was great. He fixed our ceiling that was botched by a previous contractor after removing 3 skylights. My only complaint is he was VERY expensive. $5,000 to redo our living room ceiling. This involved cutting out a large area of wallboard, cutting out some of the old skylight framing, installing furring strips, reinstalling wallboard, plastering, and painting. The end result was perfect though. He does great work.
