Need A Plasterer With An Eye For Detail

http://cdn.brownstoner.com/4f21cb1378e74-.jpg

Our ceiling is starting to crack and sag at an alarming rate. As the decorative plasterwork is the crown gem of the entire house it’s of paramount importance that it be saved, Fortunately at this point it’s only the flat firlds that are cracking and all the moulding has remained intact and in place. Does anyone have a reccomendation for a plasterer that can tackle a job like this?

Thanks everybody. I called Fitz and he popped by within a half hour, was incredibly friendly and professional and sent a detailed and reasonable estimate later in the day. So far I’m liking his style!

Thank you, Amzi, I’d been trying to find Raul’s contact info. Got a lot of plastering coming up. I am dreading the dust!

Try Fitzroy at Absolute Plaster 917-412-5593.  I had a corner medallion fall and ricochet off an ac unit before breaking the top of my filing cabinet.  Fitzroy and his crew, some of whom seem to be related to him, came in, did a great job of tenting off the area and a superb job reattaching and feathering in.  he even patched some additioanl cracks at no charge.   He really knows plaster.  I’d totally use him for future jobs.
