Smithwright Home Improvement is a general contracting company providing a broad range of home improvement and home repair services in the Suburban Maryland area. I am a company of one and use subcontractors only when absolutely necessary. 99% of the work I take on is performed by me. Smithwright Home Improvement is licensed with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission since 2004 under license# 89597. I've done mostly flat-fee work under contract with the home owner. Small projects, or handyman related work, bills out at $80/hour with a 3 hour minimum. Angie's List customers receive a 10% discount off labor charges that invoice over $500.00. Discounts do not apply to materials cost which are in addition to labor charges. I do not add any additional costs to materials. You pay what I pay. My business, up to now, has grown strictly through referrals from satisfied customers. In the 20 years since I started this business, I have served hundreds of home owners in this area doing everything from simple drywall work to building large room additions and decks. I pride myself in delivering results that far exceed my customer's expectations. (Please note, the nature of my work can make it quite difficult to take phone calls during the day. The last thing I want is to offend anyone by not picking up or not returning phone calls. Please contact me via text at 410-707-5542 or email at smithwrighthome@gmail.com as well and I will try to respond to you within 24 to 36 hours. Thank you!).
"This was the very best contractor experience that I can ever remember. Mr. Smith (Bill) was on time for both estimate and work and took better than exceptional effort to leave the area even better than he found it. He was reasonable in pricing, installed per ADA standards, matched existing hardware and explained, from great experience, why we needed to modify the placement of the bars. BTW He was right! I would strongly recommend him for your future needs. You will not regret your selection. RDL"

"In the past, we’ve typically hired general contractors based on solicitations at our home. This has unfortunately resulted in more than a few misses. But we went through Angi this time and the pro we chose, Omar’s General Contracting, was definitely a hit. Omar was professional and communicative. His crew was great. On time, very tidy, reasonably priced, flexible, and a perfect finished product. We hired them on Sunday and they started on Monday. In two days, Omar and his crew were able to basically rebuild our entire eat-in kitchen ceiling following a large plumbing project. I honestly think it looks better now than it did before the work. Amazing. We wont be needing referrals for general contractors in the future. We’ve found our company. Thank you for the great referral, Angi and team."

It can cost as little as $20 per square foot to repair small cracks in plaster. For more extensive cracks and those over 1/4-inch wide, expect to pay around $120 per square foot.
Yes, crumbling plaster on a ceiling or high up on a wall is potentially dangerous as large chunks of heavy material can fall and cause serious injury if they hit a person or animal. Plus, if the plaster contains asbestos, which was a common plaster additive until the mid-1980s, or lead from old layers of paint, it carries a significant health risk. “Asbestos in plaster becomes a health risk once airborne, such as when crumbling plaster is agitated,” says Ezra Laniado, Expert Home Building and Remodeling Contributor.
If you don't know the age or content of your plaster, it's always worth getting a home inspection. A lead-based paint inspection typically costs $600 while an asbestos inspection costs around $500. For peace of mind and the safety of your family, these inspections are well worth the cost, as they highlight problems like the presence of lead and asbestos before the plaster crumbles and causes health issues so that you can take early action.
With proper maintenance, plaster can last over 100 years if not exposed to high humidity or water damage.
