    Steven was very pleasant and professional. We were impressed with the way he protected our floors and left it very clean. The job that he did on our walls and ceiling was done quickly and impeccably. We will definitely call him again for future work that we already know we need done. Top notch.

    Mr DeFreitas is very professional, anticipates problems and does an aesthetically and otherwise fine job in difficult to work in places. I highly recommend him.

    I would recommend Mr. DeFreitas. He was prompt in contacting me, fair in his quote, and he did high quality work. He patched a larger than expected hole in my ceiling due to water damage. He made a stressful situation easy to deal with. He was contentious and polite. He showed up on time and was diligent about getting it right. I appreciated he spent the time putting on the finishing touches and cleaning up after the job. He was thorough in walking me through the project. Explaining what he was doing and why.

    Thank-You

    Steve and his crew did an outstanding job of installing 17 sheets of wallboard and custom plastering a ceiling! He was quick with his estimate and timely starting the job. He was on the job when he said he would be (which I find quite extraordinary for most small contractors) and stayed on the job all day, every day (9-5) until the job was finished and complete to my satisfaction. He is first, and ONLY contractor I've hired in the last 30 years who did not need to leave the job 3 to 4 times each day to go to Lowe's or Home Depot to get supplies he "forgot" or needed for the job! He obviously planned ahead, new what he would need and came fully prepared for the job. The jobsite was cleaned up each day and the jobsite was protected from damage, again a far cry from most other contractors who leave their mess for you to clean and do not demonstrate much care for your property. Steve far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend him without reservation. (my only minor complaint, and this may be characteristic of all plasterers is that a final sanding was not done of the taping application, but as I said, this may be characteristic of the profession, so I did not let this impact my rating)

    Seal of Approval

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
