The flat, crack-free base every good finish needs
Plastering is a trade where the result is judged in raking light: a good skim reads as one flat plane, a bad one shows every trowel mark and hollow the moment the sun hits it.
Bookings range from small patch-and-fill jobs before a repaint, to full drywall partitions and POP ceilings. The bigger the area and the more detail (coving, niches, drop ceilings), the more it moves toward a quoted project.
Drywall and POP work is as much about the framing and joints as the surface. Ask how they'll handle corners and joins, taped and finished properly is what stops cracks reappearing down the line.
Plastering is wet work and needs drying time before painting. A pro will tell you honestly how long to wait. Hold payment in escrow until it's dry, checked, and genuinely flat.
