Bestwall Plastering repaired our Brooklyn brownstone apartment's water-damaged walls and ceiling, skimmed another ceiling showing its age, and even patched some other areas discovered along the way. Service was booked quickly, Kieran arrived spot-on-time for both the estimate visit and both work days (and finished within the anticipated work period), and both job and clean-up were completed professionally and efficiently. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
August 2019 Review by Andrew A.
This is the second time Kieran has worked on my apartment (the last time was over 10 years ago). He's a real craftsman and a delight to work with. Honest, punctual, hard-working.--and a really nice guy, as well.
May 2019 Review by Dee S.
It is difficult to convey in words the level of plastering skills Kieran displayed during this project. When he arrived he was shown a sagging ceiling with a big hole and molding missing. Within days he stabilized the entire ceiling, made the missing molding,and restored the ceiling to the way it looked the when the house was originally built. I watched it step by step and am still amazed that it is impossible to see that there was ever a problem. He arrived promptly, worked carefully, and finished on schedule. If you need someone to do skilled plaster repair or restoration, Kieran is the right choice.

Plaster molding repair. Ceiling and walls plaster repair. We have damaged walls and ceiling and got Bestwall Plastering to repair them. They were on budget and very professional, they done an excellent job and they replaced the plaster molding as well.
Would recommend.

Kieran and George were wonderful! They showed up exactly on time (in fact a few min early), brought all necessary tools for the job, were kind, thoughtful and respectful in our home. Oh, and they did incredible work!

We used Bestwall Plastering for a project on our home, we needed ceilings and walls plastered that were old and crumbling and the results are excellent. They were professional and experienced. I can totally recommend them.
November 2017, Review by Steven B.
Kieran Quilligan of Bestwall Plastering is a true craftsman , an artist really, who provides incomparable service together with his truly impressive expertise. The description of his talents and services as "Old World", that is to say, of the very highest standards that are virtually unknown these days in the USA, is true. It is a privilege and a great source of satisfaction to see him in action, to behold what he is able to do and then to enjoy the results of his work, knowing that you have been fortunate to experience what "Old World" craftsmanship and commitment to one's trade really means. If you need a plaster restoration specialist, call Kieran.

Kieran and his crew just finished a job in my home and the work they do is excellent, they are experienced and professional.
January 2017, Review by Tracey G.
I first met Kieran, of Bestwall Plastering Inc., after my son flooded my living room while playing in the upstairs shower. The room was a mess! More than half the ceiling was down, post water mitigation, and I didn’t think the room would ever look the same again. Kieran calmed my fears and promised me that in a few weeks time it would be as if nothing happened. He delivered on that promise and more! The ceiling is now as smooth as glass and so is a section of wall that was also affected by water damage. Kieran was also extremely helpful to us in communicating our needs to our insurance company. And I cannot praise his character enough. In a world where people are increasingly nasty to one other, Kieran is a breath of fresh air! He is one of the kindest, most pleasant; thoughtful human beings we have ever had the pleasure to know. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Don’t wait another second, call Kieran NOW and get your project done expertly the first time!

I had plaster molding that needed repair, I searched for a company whom does this work and came across Bestwall Plastering, I contacted them, they came and looked at the molding, gave me a price, within a week they were back installed the replacement molding, and now my ceiling looks like there was never any damage. Bestwall Plastering is a professional experienced company.
March 2016, Review by Alex K.
Bestwall Plastering are a professional and experienced company. I had water damage in my formal dining room from a leak upstairs and the ceiling and walls along with the original plaster molding was badly damaged. I had researched companies that restored plaster moldings and repaired walls and ceilings and I had the top 3 companies come and look at the damage and give me their expert opinions and prices; out of the 3 companies Bestwall Plastering were the only ones that said they can save the molding and make a replica of it to match the original, as well as they can repair the ceiling and walls and re-plaster; the other two wanted to tear down the molding and replace it with a new one, and they wanted to sheetrock the walls and ceiling and spackle them; I wanted real plaster so I chose Bestwall Plastering and I was NOT disappointed. They done an excellent job and I would recommend them 100% and their price was great for the work they done. They are coming back in the fall to replaster my hallway and staircase.
I am amazed by what Kieran and his crew can do with plaster, they are master plasters.

Description Of Work: repair damage to interior walls and
ceiling caused by leaking roof. Repaired and plastered 3 walls
Kieran and his team do high quality work. They are always on
time and very professional
Work Completed Date: October 01, 2014
Description Of Work: Replaced drywall which had to be
removed due to water from upstairs unit. Included painting.
All went well. Coordinating with other contractors and
insurance issues slowed things down but Kieran was there when he was scheduled
to be. All work was completed to our satisfaction.
Work Completed Date: September 15, 2014
Description Of Work: Kieran and his team re-plastered
our home office (walls and ceiling), including the walls and ceiling of a small
closet.
As usual, Kieran did an exceptional job, completing
transforming our very cracked walls and ceiling into beautiful, clean walls
that are as smooth as glass.
We have been working with Kieran over the last two years to help us re-plaster the walls and ceilings of our 1901 Victorian. Prior to our home office project, he helped us rehabilitate the plaster walls and ceilings of our front parlor, entry hallway and staircase. We had some very significant plaster issues/cracking, which Kieran completely stabilized.
One of his most impressive projects with us was to replace some wedding cake detail, which had sustained water damage and been sanded of in one corner of the ceiling. Kieran and his team made a mold of another corner which was still in fact and installed the mold in the damaged area, perfectly blending the detail in the old design with the newly molded area. His work was so perfect that our friends and neighbors can't believe that section of the ceiling isn't original.
Kieran is a true artisan. He is incredibly detailed and always walks through his work with us at the end of the project to make sure that we are completely happy with the end result. He's incredibly patient with us in answering all our questions. Most important, he is incredibly respectful of our home. Plaster work can be incredibly dusty, but Kieran always leaves everything clean at the end of every work day. And, it's always comforting to know that we can leave him and his crew to complete the project while we're off at work.
Plaster work can be expensive, but compared to other contractors' estimates/portfolios of work, Kieran's work is well priced. We plan to enlist his help with our remaining room projects.

Description Of Work: Drywall repairs to wall due to mold removal.
Bestwall Plastering was great! Kieran is a master at
his job. Not only was he extremely responsive, he worked around our
tight timelines, and was able to do a phenomenal job. I'm very happy
with the end result. We had our walls half-cut due to mold, and he
was able to put up new walls/plastering and smooth it out enough
where we only had to sand it. He also provided great guidance
and direction around some other things in the house. Not to mention he
came out to Stamford CT to do the job. I've found my new
drywall guy!

Description Of Work: Repaired a damaged plaster wall in
an older home.
We used Bestwall Plastering to repair a damaged wall, and
based upon the job they did, I can highly recommend them. We have an older home
that has plaster over wood lathe walls. On one section of our dining room wall,
the plaster began to come loose f, rom the wood lathe, and bow out. Some
cracks had begun to form, and based on our prior experience, we were expecting
a tough job. The last time something like this happened, they removed all of
the plaster down to the wood lathe, and then had to re-plaster. It was dirty,
and took a number of days between each coat of plaster. Once done it took about
a week to fully dry. When I called Bestwall, Kieran said he could come by the
next Saturday, and would be there at 8:30. From what I described, he thought he
might be able to repair the wall that same day. He arrived early, and
after looking over the job gave us a written estimate, and explained how he
would repair the wall. Using a special fastener he pulled the plaster tight to
the lathe. Then he applied a mesh fabric and skim coated the entire section of
wall. The area was about 3' by 17', and he was able to have it done by midday.
He took his time working, and that gave me a chance to talk with Kieran. I
quickly learned that he is a true craftsman, when it comes to plaster. He
showed my wife and I some of the ornamental work he's done, and it is truly
amazing. When he finished up, he swept up, vacuumed, and then wiped down the
floor. He treated our home, as if it was his own, and if it wasn't for the
moved furniture you would never have known the work was done that morning. The
best recommendation I can give is that since this work was done, we have Kieran
scheduled to come back in a few days to work on two other walls that need
repair. Having found Kieran, and Bestwall, I don't need to look for anyone else
when we have a problem with any of the walls or ceilings. If you have an older
home with plaster walls, and particularly if you have any decorative plaster
work in your home, call Bestwall if you need to make any repairs. They're the
best, and I can highly recommend them.

Description Of Work: Fixed very long and branching
cracks across our plaster ceilings (bedroom and living room)
Thanks goodness we finally found Kieran at Bestwall
Plastering. Before contacting him, we had talked to several providers and never
seemed to get a straight answer about how to deal with the long cracks across
our plaster ceiling, which had been repaired poorly before we moved in. Someone
even told us we'd have to take the whole ceiling down. Then came Kieran to the
rescue. He provided us with a detailed and helpful assessment of the situation,
explained that it was an easy fix, and did a beautiful repair in just half a
day. Most important was the peace of mind in knowing that our ceiling was in
good shape and that he didn't try to sell us on a bigger project than we
needed. Kieran is an extremely talented craftsman -- absolutely worth the money
to have this done right.

Description Of Work: Completely repaired ceiling and
wall, where an ice dam had caused a bad leak and damaged the plaster. He
removed the affected area, repaired and repainted it.
He was prompt, polite, and worked quickly with a
partner. One Saturday they did the plaster repair, and the second
Saturday they repainted. They were neat, draped everything and cleaned up
afterwards, and all told did a fabulous job! I HIGHLY recommend them!
Work Completed Date: June 25, 2014
Description Of Work:It was very good. I would recommend him. After I spoke to
him on the phone and discussed what the job was all about, he told me he would
come the next day. He came out once to look at the work, then the next day, he
came on time with his helper and also helped me with the air conditioner, which
was causing the problem. He did an excellent job.
Work Completed Date: June 21, 2014
Description Of Work: Reinforce and re-plaster a bedroom
ceiling with multiple large cracks.
I had several large cracks running through an original
plaster ceiling in my apartment, in a building that dates back to the early
1900s: mostly stress fractures from age but also one 5-ft.-long crack that was
beginning to leak from the building roof directly above and was on the verge of falling down.
The two repair solutions proposed by the building owner were either to tear out the whole ceiling and replace it with sheetrock (creating both an extreme dust situation in a small living space and the release of potentially harmful substances, like asbestos and lead, in the original plaster and underlying paint coats) or to install a drop ceiling over the original damaged one, which was also something I did not want, again for safety reasons.
I contacted Kieran based on other member reviews. He came out for an initial consultation and proposed to “pin” the existing plaster into the joists above using special screws and washers roughly every 10 inches on both sides of the cracks, then apply a two-coat veneer plaster with a fiberglass fabric mesh embedded between the two layers across the whole ceiling (116 sq. ft.). He and his two-man team came out a few weeks later and made the repair. They arrived promptly at the scheduled time. They protected whatever pieces of furniture couldn’t be moved with plastic sheeting and dropcloths on the floor, and sealed off the doorway so no dust would come into other rooms of the apartment. The whole job was done in roughly five hours. They cleaned up as best they could afterward, but since they themselves were covered in plaster dust, there was only so much they could do, and I still had some cleanup after they left with their tools and equipment. Kieran and his two workmen were friendly, courteous and professional. I felt immediately that I could trust them to do the job correctly and with very little hassle, which turned out to be the case. It was a simple, clean and elegant solution to the problem. The ceiling looks beautiful, like new. I would definitely use this company again.

Description Of Work: I went with Kieran from Bestwall. He had to plaster the
entire ceiling then he also had to paint it. He hasn't painted it yet. He's
painting it at the end of the month.
I like absolutely everything about the work that he did and
the way he presented and the way he explained the work. He really helped us
understand exactly what he's doing, why and what the issues were and weren't.
He was wonderful. There's nothing about him that wasn't wonderful. There's no
room for improvement. He's that good. The price was excellent also. He told us
to, you know, about the insurance company and how to go about that, they
compared the bill et cetera, et cetera. He's also going to give me painting at
the end of the month for $14000. The quality is an A+. I'll absolutely use him
again in the future.

Description Of Work: Repaired plaster in 3 areas
bedroom wall, stairway wall and stairway ceiling
Excellent. Kieran was very responsive and professional.
Other contractors wanted to rip out all the bedroom walls and reinstall
drywall. I'm sure because it is not easy to find a good plaster professional.
Kieran was able to repair the bedroom wall for a fraction of the cost.

Description Of Work: Repaired damaged ceilings in hallway
stairwell and master bedroom.
Our house is well over 100 yrs old. There was extensive
damage to the ceiling in the main hallway above the stairwell and in the master
bedroom. Kieran came out to review the project, explained his approach and gave
a decent quote on the spot. The price was reasonable especially
considering the extent & location of the damage. We decided to
proceed right away and Kieran returned in two days to begin
work. The work was arduous. There were large areas where
plaster had fallen down but using special brackets, Kieran was able to
salvage/restore everything. After applying several layers of
plaster, the ceilings look great now! Smooth as glass -- you can't
tell that there was ever any holes there, it's like a new
ceiling! Kieran/Bestwall is great!!! They're very professional, courteous,
punctual, honest and a real pleasure to work with. We have other
projects for which we will need/use Kieran's expertise....I highly
recommend him!!!

The job went extremely well. There was an area
which was not plastered, so I called Mr. Quilligan, and he came over
immediately, and completed the job.
Work Completed Date: April 09, 2013
Description Of Work: He reconstructed a wall, ceiling molding,
and picture molding in traditional plaster.
I received a quote from Kieran for this job in November
2012. Because of circumstances beyond my control, I was not able to hire him to
do the job until April 2013, but he honored his original quote. There is a
charge for him to come and give you a quote, but that is deducted from the bill
(I had to remind him about that) if you hire him. He gave me quotes for doing
the wall in a traditional plaster system and a sheetrock system. He thoroughly
explained the difference and the pros and cons of both. He invites questions
and is eager to explain his work. He showed up on time every time (the job took
several days). He was always easy to get in touch with. He left my home
reasonably neat. The work turned out very nice. I am happy with his work and
would recommend him.

Description Of Work: I removed 3 large mirrors from a
wall, which pulled the plaster down. I had cleaned up the loose pieces and had
the wall re-plastered.
After getting a few quotes, many turned out to be guys who
wanted to tape and spackle the wall, rather than plaster it. I wanted the wall
re-plastered, like the rest of the house. It cost a little more, but Kieran was
worth it. The process he used involved no sanding and the wall is smooth and
perfect. He is truly an artist and takes pride in every job, even a simple
wall. I only wish the rest of my walls looked this good now!
Work Completed Date: November 12, 2012
Description Of Work: Sections of the living room
ceiling were buckling and one had fallen. Kieran replaced three larger sections
and repaired a couple of smaller areas, saying it was not necessary to replace

We set up an appointment and Kieran was prompt and
reassuring. He explained how the areas would be repaired and re-plastered,
gave us a very reasonable quote and set a date to do the work. It was
postponed because of the hurricane and loss of power, but he responded as soon
as our power was restored, a relief since a second section was bulging even
more. The work was completed by midday and looks like new.

Plastering came to give me the estimate, they told me it can be repaired and
they could replace/make a replica of the missing pieces, I was so happy. They

home which left an interior door and a large window which had to be replaced

Kieran came on July 3rd to see the job and gave an estimate
which I found was reasonable. He returned Friday at 8:30 am to
perform services. Did a great job. You cannot tell that there was a
window and door in the walls that he repaired. I believe that the $75
consultation charge is reasonable for a professional to estimate the cost of a
job. The consultation charge was deducted from the cost of the job.
I would definitely call him again.

and Plastering to walls and ceilings from water leak
I contacted Bestwall Plastering to
give me an estimate on some drywall and plastering work I needed. They arrived
on time for estimate and was very knowledgeable about his profession, you can
tell that Kieran knows what he is doing, he examined all the walls and ceilings
then gave me a written estimate and explained everything that he was going to
do and the time frame that it would take. It was well worth the consultation
charge that I was credited to the cost of the job, it was a win win situation
for me. On the day of the start of the job, Kieran and his crew arrived on
time, they protected the rooms that was not getting any work to, they laid
covering on the floors and also plastic so there would be no footprints and
dust in my home. They done exactly what they said they told me they were going
to do. They made the walls and ceiling perfect. It never looked better. I will
recommend them to neighbors and friends if anyone is looking for similar work.
The price was great also. Great company.

Plaster Repair
I had water damage to 2 bedrooms
from a leak in my roof, I have an older home so the walls are real plaster not
drywall and spackle, so I wanted to the repairs to be done in plaster but a lot
of contractors out there don't do real plaster, they drywall and tape, I know
that drywall and taping would fix my water damaged walls but I wanted the real
thing. I found Bestwall Plastering while searching the internet and their
reviews were great so I contacted them. They came and spent an hour with me
explaining what needs to be done, how long it was going to take etc. I was
delighted. They arrived a couple of days later, removed all the damaged walls
and ceiling, installed and plastered everything. It took 2 days. Before they
started they protected my floors and stairs, enclosed the rooms with plastic
sheet so none of the rest of house would be disturbed while they were working.
They were on time every day, very respectful of me and my home.
They did an awesome job.

Repair walls after paneling was removed.
WOW, doesn't even come close to the
reaction I had when I seen the finished walls. It was like night and day. I had
bought an old house and there was paneling in the family room I removed some of
it thinking i could just paint and be done, but when I started I knew this was
more than I could handle so I called in the experts. I went on line and
searched for plastering and drywall companies, and found Bestwall Plastering,
they came looked at my walls and said no problem, we will fix this for you,
gave me an estimate and the price was great. Arranged the day to start, they
removed all the paneling and took all the trash with them, (less for me to have
to worry about). They fixed and plastered the walls, they are so smooth
now, my family room puts the rest of my house to shame, I will be getting them
back when I am ready to tackle the hall and stairway (more paneling). Awesome
company and magnificent service & craftsmanship.

Utility room had water damage. Needed repair/replaced.
My utility room which is built in
to my back porch had water damage from a recent storm, I was not sure what was
the best option for repair, I had a few contractors come and explain to me what
need to be done, 2 of them wanted to do spackle and taping which was a cheap
but very messy and dusty option. Bestwall Plastering came and told be they
could replace the drywall and use a veneer plaster which was a little more
expensive but there would be 99% less dust and cleaning up after. They were
very clear in what my options were and explained how long it would take and
what they would do. 2 days later they came done exactly what they said they
would do. That was a month ago, I have since had my utility room painted and it
looks great. Very happy with the experience and professionalism of Kieran and
his crew.

completely plastered walls and ceiling and the walls are as smooth as glass
now, it is a shame I have to paint it. They cleaned up every day before leaving

drywall compound so there is no sanding, they worked very fast and left
our home very clean .They took a profile of the plaster molding and actually
made it on the job Everything looks great would highly recommend Bestwall
Plastering for any detailed work.

Description: I
had an addition to my Victorian home which left an interior door and a
large window which had to be replaced with solid plaster to match the rest of
the room.
Bestwall Plastering came on July
3rd to see the job and gave an estimate which I found was reasonable.
He returned Friday at 8:30 am to perform services. They did a great
job. You cannot tell that there was a window and door in the walls that
he repaired. I believe that the $75 consultation charge is reasonable for
a professional to estimate the cost of a job. The consultation charge was
deducted from the cost of the job. I would definitely call him again.

Re-surfaced ceiling in dining room, sitting room and bedroom
Kieran is the master of plaster! He
resurfaced a hideous stucco ceiling in my dining room and it is even and
smooth. He also removed two large and heavy beams and all the crown molding
from my living room and smoothed them over. The third room, the bedroom had
sagging plaster between the ceiling beams and he strengthened and smoothed it
to perfection, His actions define "professional" - from his
accomplished skills as a plasterer to his customer service. I would recommend
Kieran without reservations. A+++

Walls/Ceilings Plaster molding.
Needed elaborate plaster molding
installed in my kitchen to match my living room was built in 1880. Bestwall
arrived explained the job and gave us a written proposal. They came back 2 days
later took a cast of the mold and re created the plaster molding. Installed the
new plaster molding and it looks terrific. We found it hard to find a company
that can still do this type of work. They were clean, very fast friendly and
finished on time.

Re-skimmed two rooms.
I had 2 rooms in my house that need
work done, Bestwall Plastering came out and gave me an estimate to re-skim
the entire rooms. When they arrived to do the work, they covered all
the areas they were going to be working in with plastic so the work would not
interrupt the rest of my home. The job took 4 days and the rooms
look magnificent just like new. There was no sanding involved as they
used polished plaster not spackle/compound. They were professional, clean and
very courteous. I will be contacting them again in the New Year to get some
more work done.

Description: We
had an old staircase wall that was falling down it had come loose and sagging.
Kieran and his crew came in and removed all the loose plaster and re plastered
the wall in the old style plastering.
Bestwall Plastering was prompt,
professional and very pleasant and friendly. He explained every step of the
process, and completed the work right on schedule. My project included
re-plastering a wall that ran up a long, steep staircase to my front door. At
the end of each day, Kieran completely cleaned the hallway so that the stairs
were useable each night. The plaster came out as smooth as glass. I was very
happy with the work and will recommend Bestwall Plastering to my family and friends.

Description:
Kieran had to match an existing plaster molding on the ceiling/wall which was
water damaged from a recent leak. They started the job on time, took samples of
the molding and when restored the match of the molding was absolutely exact.
They also removed water damaged parts of the ceilings and walls and repaired
them to look like it never happened. Kieran and his staff were very clean,
courteous and quick doing their work, and done a lot of extra work which they
did not charge us for. I would definitely recommend this company for any
plaster restoration work you need to do.
"Kieran is not only a master
craftsman, he was a pleasure to have in our home. He went above and beyond the
call of duty. Kieran did a better job than we had ever imagined, faster than we
had ever hoped. He was not only prompt, he was clean and made a project we were
previously nervous about, a very pleasant, worry-free experience. We will
DEFINITELY be using him for any future work we need in our home restoration.
Even our contractors and electricians were impressed with his work, not to
mention us, who have already suggested him to any of our friends who will be
undertaking plaster restoration projects soon."
