"Bill plastered my house and was fantastic. From the time he first came out to look at the job through completion he was very responsive/easy to communicate with. He seemed like he truly cared about me and the work being done well which is represented by the quality work he does. I have gotten multiple compliments by other contractors about how nice the plaster work he did is. If I ever need more work done I will hire Bill again in a heartbeat"

"I didn't hire them because even though I described the work that needed to be done, what caused the problem and sent pictures, which was severe water damage to ceilings due to leaking, they sent me a text saying "The best thing to do is to smooth your ceilings". WHAT?? The pictures showed holes, massive water spots, lines down the ceiling, some spot pictures were so bad they were brown. Didn't even offer to come and out to physically look. So that just shows me lack of interest for new business or lack or knowledge."

"Lenny and Lisa are great. During the demolition phase, Lenny took great care to cover our hardwood floors and cleaned thoroughly while removing the countertops and backsplash which really helped to keep the dust level down. Lisa recommended vendors for our granite, tile backsplash and sink - they were all so helpful. We have never done a kitchen renovation before and were a little anxious about the process and making choices. Lenny allayed our fears and was spot on with suggestions. Lisa was always available for communication and answering questions. The sub-contractors were all excellent, personable and professional. The whole job was finished ahead of schedule which allowed for our 18 month old granddaughter to come for an earlier visit! Overall we are thrilled with the outcome and will definitely use Apple Wood for future projects!"

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.
