Washington Plastering Contractors

"Last year I hired to remodel, repair, and paint the first floor of my home. I was very pleased with their work and contacted Angel Tuesta, the owner of ., to remodel, repair, and paint the upstairs at the beginning of this year. My excellent experience of last year was fully matched by this year's work. ...more Angel prepared detailed estimates and came to the house several times to review the rooms to be remodeled. The work entailed removing an entire wall between two bedrooms, restructuring the doorway from the hall, removing an inadequate closet from one area, and constructing an elaborate new closet, doing needed repair work of the hallway, and working on a third bedroom/den. Angel and his workmen arrived every morning on time and by working hard and steadily, they accomplished a great every day. I was particularly appreciative of the care they took to protect my furnishings. For example, one room has

bookcases that are filled with perhaps 2,000 volumes. They took great care to completely seal the bookcases with plastic and tape so the grit and plaster dust did not penetrate. The house is older, walls are not plumb, and the door moldings verge on antique. Angel took pains to match all as closely as possible. He discussed adjustments needed, and I was always confident of his choices and workmanship. I came to rely on his good taste, and he helped me decide between one shade of cream paint and another. In cold weather, it could have been particularly stressful to have workmen in the house for three weeks. Instead, I found Angel and his crew thoughtfully aware. Music was listened to with earphones, cell phone calls were taken outside the house, conversations and consultations were held in low tones. They cleaned and vacuumed every night, and even the bad snow and ice of early February did not interrupt the schedule more than a day. It was impressive consideration. I have other projects to be undertaken -- such as painting the outside of the house, and I look forward to working with

again. They do excellent work and are to be fully commended."

"Our project was hampered a great deal by the failure of the general contractor's workers to timely complete portions of their tasks. Thus, 's crew had to do a lot of working around others and postpone some of their work until the other contractors were through. They did the job they were contracted to do plus quite a few other ...more tasks that cropped up during this period such as re-painting portions of our basement apartment, replacing the entire basement apartment ceiling, and doing carpentry work that the general contractor's workers overlooked or had done incorrectly."

"Mr. his entire paint crew were on time and very focused on doing and completing the project in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them. "

"After closing on our new house, we were on a short deadline to move in. was able to surge his people (sometimes with ten individuals at one time working in the house) to get the job done one time and to standard. We were very happy with the quality of their work."

"Bill, the owner didn't want to come out to give me a quote due to a small job so he told me $350 over the phone. 2 painters showed up on time. At 2 PM Bill called to tell me he needed an extra $100 because there was alot of plastering that had to be done. I told him he refused to come to the house to give me an estimate but I was going to inspect ...more the property the next day and if they did a great job I would consider the extra $100. Also told him he should have called me at 9 AM when the painters showed up that there would be an additional charge - at that point I could have approved it or so no. Next day I found they plastered cracks but didn't let it dry and sand it. The linen closed in the bedroom was not painted (Bill knew this was to be done). They didn't vacume the plaster they knocked off the walls - left it laying on the carpet floor. The towel bars in the bathroom had paint on them. I called Bill and told him what I found and he did offer to send them back. I told him I would just pay him the $350 - not the extra $100 and we would leave it as is. I had no one at the house to let the painters back in as the tenants were out of town on vacation. Because Bill did offer to have them come back out and he was fine with accepting the $350 - I felt he acted very professional. If I ever use him again I would expect a much better job though - as this job was poorly done."

"From the initial telephone contact for an estimate to the final inspection they were always on time, poilite and very professional. I have had other plaster work and painting done in the past and no one has been as neat and so thoroughly cleaned up each day. Guests that have visited after the work was completed have commented on the high quality of ...more the painting - no, drips, smears or unsightly brush

. As they worked through the job they stayed in contact if they had any questions or encountered problems. I highly recommend them for both plastering and painting and will definitely use them again."

" originally calculated the job might take four days. However, given the condition of the walls and the shambles left from the previous "painter," it took six days. However, stuck to the original price quoted. The only up-charges resulted from discovery that some of the walls needed extra patching. I ...more highly recommend this company."

"I am very impressed with Mr. 's professionalism and his work. After I made the initial call about the job, he came out to my home to give me an estimate. I accepted the estimate, and we scheduled a date to do the job. (he was also flexible, as I had to change the original date and time for the job). He and his colleague were ...more very prompt, and their work was beautiful.... I can't tell where the damage was now! I would very much like to call

for future jobs."
