Plastering By Eric Aulbach

Eric Aulbach Plastering repaired and replaced a big ceiling mess in my basement, which happens to serve as garage space in my condo. I had very roughly torn out the gypsum board assembly in place to inspect a significant section of floor joists.
What made things complicated was the assembly provides sound attenuation and a fire rating, so it was (2) layers of gyp bd with an acoustical resilient channel inbetween.
Eric was able to complete a seamless installation that looks fantastic. Some of my neighbors have had ceiling work done, and Eric’s work is far superior to them.
Eric was honest, affordable, and timely. The care and attention to detail and craftsmanship really stood out. I would recommend highly.

I found Eric from a flyer left in my door one day advertising his services. Normally these types of advertisements go straight in the garbage, but because of a leaky chimney there’d been some water damage to a section of my office that had needed replastering for ages. I found his flyer to be very fortuitous.
My husband called him up and he came out within a couple days to give us an estimate. He came with a handy little device that he could place against the wall to see if the bricks behind the plaster were completely dry. There had been so much water in our wall that it was actually bowed out so he tore the whole thing down to the bricks. He gave it a couple weeks to completely dry out and was back to finish the job.
I have no complaints about the plaster job. It looks great and you can tell he knows his stuff. Since I wasn’t home when he finished up I had some follow up questions about when it was ok to paint, etc. and he answered my emails really quickly and was super helpful after he’d finished.
My only complaint is that the day I came home after he’d left, there was plaster dust everywhere. I know it’s an incredibly messy job, but I would really have appreciated some drop cloths between the office and the front door so he wasn’t tracking dust all throughout the house. I also found a big dust handprint on my dining room table and a big dust footprint on the area rug in the living room. I found that to be really annoying.
Other than that, I’d definitely recommend. His prices seemed fairly reasonable (didn’t have anything to compare it to, though).
