Cunningham, Steve
[Via the RenovateDSM e-mail group] The plaster walls of our 1924 English Tudor were definitely showing their age. We found it difficult to find a component person to repair the cracks on our walls, not just cover them with drywall. We found Steve on CraigsList and had him repairs cracks in our 2nd floor hallway and master bedroom closet. We were beyond impressed with the results. We asked him back to repairs the cracks in a guest bedroom. He has been a union plasterer for 20 years and is a master of his craft. To summarize his method, he digs out every crack, fills it with a lightweight spackling, then covers each crack with mesh tape, covers it with durabond, and then puts a skim coat of joint compound over the entire room . The results are spectacular. I consider his prices very reasonable.
