What Our Customers Say
Real feedback from homeowners and professionals across the Lower Mainland.
Lloyd and his team helped us refresh and repair shabby 100+ years old lath and plaster walls and ceilings. He also helped detail some aging wainscotting and a stairway. Lloyd is extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk with and happy to provide advice. Lloyd and team are master plasterers using modern techniques and deep knowledge of traditional wall and ceiling systems — their eye for detail is amazing, combined with dustless sanding and thorough clean-up, we were left with pristine walls and ceilings, pre-coated and ready for paint. They are stronger and straighter than ever.
Lloyd is a master at his craft. Whether you are looking for new plaster work or replicated original finishes he is the man for the job. He did extensive work for me in my mid-century heritage home and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
I've had the pleasure of having Lloyd and his crew work on an extensive project for me last year. A 1920's home with a mix of old lathe and plaster along with new drywall, was all expertly installed. Lloyd is a gold 'ole guy — his expert advice, craftsmanship and good old-fashion care made the project run smoothly and the end result was perfect. I will continue to call on Lloyd for projects coming up.
Lloyd did a really great job drywalling our house. He has decades of experience and it shows. He spent a lot of time ensuring seams were invisible and ceilings were smooth, and we are very happy with the results. We would definitely recommend Lloyd to others.
