I am looking for someone to skimcoat, prime and paint the common hallway in my building. The building is four stories. Can anyone recommend a contractor for this job? And how much can I expect to pay for such a project? (There will probably be some scaffolding needed.)

  1. Dear Clintonista,

    If you have not as yet found a plasterer/painter to do this project I would be interested in surveying it for you and giving you an estimate free of charge. However I would be pricing it, both plaster and paint as one project. I am an accomplished and established local painter and you can read about my company on Angieslist.com. I was a 2009 service award winner and am based in The Heights

  2. try call mega at 718-820-3374 they done my two floors three years back, they have done great job for me. give them a call. good luck.

  3. I would like to recommend Mr. Shaiful. He has worked with me for years doing various projects inculding skimcoating anf did an amazing job. You can reach him at 1347-792-1266.

  4. I had similar work done on my building. I used Tomek 347-224-8695 He does 1st class work and his prices are fair. after 4 years we dont have any crack and the walls still look perfect. He has been recomended by me and others on the forum.

  5. Please get a plasterer who specializes in this, not a contractor or handyman or day laborer. The cracks will reappear in a year if you do not. Cover all the floor. It’s a hugely messy job. Plaster dust will be everywhere.

    If you have scales or cracks, make sure they cover every surface with the wide mesh tape. You can get it in wide rolls. This should be the first layer.

    It could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on the size of the hallway and who you get.

  6. Pretty much not a contractor job but a handyman job but you just have to make sure that the person knows how to skimcoat (you’ll be surprised how many don’t as it does take some skill and practice to do it right).

    Call Oleg 347-583-0523. Feel free to contact me if you want to see his skimcoating/plaster work at my place. My email is BKJester3 AT aol.com
