Tellez Plastering

An ice dam had soaked a dining-room wall. Pedro Tellez took it back to the studs, hung drywall, plastered, cured and painted it, and the April 2026 customer clocked the whole thing at under six hours — with no dust, because the area was isolated first. Water damage brings a lot of this company's calls: five of the written accounts describe a ceiling or wall put right after a leak or an ice dam. Tellez Plastering works out of East Boston as a drywall and plaster specialist — skim coating, blue board and ceiling plaster, drywall installation, crack repair and historic plaster restoration, by its own description. The BBB lists it as a corporation started in 2016 and managed by Pedro Tellez as president, and grades its page an A+. The finish is what customers write about. A March 2026 customer who had drywall patched said you cannot tell where the repair went; an April 2026 customer's replaced ceiling section was painted across the whole ceiling to match the colour and texture. In November 2025 a homeowner had the plaster finished in a basement storage closet and described smooth walls and a tidy space afterwards. A December 2024 customer with a hole behind the stove said Pedro fixed the sidewall as well. How the crew treats the house comes up as often as the plaster. An April 2026 customer listed it: rugs and furniture moved out, the work area sealed, everything cleaned, then the furniture put back where it started. A November 2024 customer was sent progress photos through the job, and a February 2026 customer with water-damaged bedroom walls said the call was answered immediately, the wall fixed the next day and the painting done the following Monday. Two dated exceptions sit against that. A September 2018 reviewer gave two stars, saying the replacement ceiling came out with lumps and cracks that the painters could not simply sand out, and questioning whether skim-coating over the popcorn texture had caused the original cracking; it is the oldest account here. In March 2026, an Angi customer rated a job three stars: "Not the best, but okay." One more thing to settle first: the company's site advertises 24/7 emergency call-out and a one-year guarantee on its work, while its Angi profile's FAQ says no emergency service and no warranties. Ask which applies to your job and get it in writing. For a water-damaged ceiling, a cracked plaster wall or a patch that has to vanish into the surrounding finish, this is the specialist to call — its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active under Tellez Plastering Inc.
