Return-Path: Received: from COCORICO.SPEECH.CS.CMU.EDU by K.GP.CS.CMU.EDU id aa09949; 14 May 93 20:11:11 EDT Date: Fri, 14 May 93 20:10:05 EDT From: Alex.Rudnicky@COCORICO.SPEECH.CS.CMU.EDU To: bovik@cs.cmu.edu Subject: plastering advice We ended up hiring Lou Tierno, who did a competent job at a reasonable price. He and his assisitant did a particularly good job in places that required replacement of large areas of wall. Their work was less good in places that required patching. I am willing to believe that this outcome was unavoidable given the contraints that I set ("patch it" rather than "replace it"; you should probably consider this point if final appearance is important to you.). I would hire them again. Alex Rudnicky > From: Eric.Krotkov@IUS4.IUS.CS.CMU.EDU I can highly recommend Lou Tierno, who operates off Penn and N. Lang (in the east end). Phone 242-0663. He is a general contractor who specializes in plastering. He did a fantastic job plastering walls and ceilings in our house at what I considered a bargain rate. I am partially biased toward him, because his wife babysits for our daughter. Still, he did an undisputably professional job for cheap. EK > From: Mary Ann Pike We have had Bailey Plastering (in the south end of the city, but they'll go anywhere) do some work for us, and they did a nice job. They replaced a drop ceiling with a plaster one, and they did some water-damage repair for us (and they did a good job matching our rough-look original plaster). Their number is 884-3131. Hope this helps. Mary Ann Pike Software Engineering Institute > From: Dayne_Freitag@GS120.SP.CS.CMU.EDU Our landlord has a handyman he swears by for plastering. It just so happens that this guy will be doing some work in our house over the next few days. Do you want me to see if he's open to taking on additional projects? Dayne
