[Recommendation submitted via email] Joel finished the two larger areas of stucco work today, he did a great job. I think he came pretty close to matching the texture and was a pleasure to work with. He showed up on time and got back to me promptly when I called him. His name is Joel Barton, 515-202-5753. I would recommend him to anyone in need of stucco work.

[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.
