Stucco repair in Maricopa

By
Real Estate Agent with Dominion Fine Properties SA582226000

Our spring project for our home is repairing and repainting the back yard fence.  Since it's the typical block construction with stucco finish, we asked our neighbors for referrals and were given the name of P.L. Plastering & Sons owned by Peter Leschnick, Sr.

 

He showed up promptly at the appointed time, gave us a very reasonable estimate and we decided he was our man for the patch work.  He was scheduled to come tomorrow, but called today, said he was running a little early and could actually make it today, if that would be okay!!  Sure - come on over.

 

The work looks thorough, he patched up what needed to be patched, told us NOT to patch the dividing line cracks because they are there for expansion and contraction, and then left the yard with no clutter or waste. 

 

If you're looking for stucco repair, I highly recommend Peter Leschnick, PL Plastering.

Cara, this guy was SO professional and SO nice.  I do have one complaint, though.  Supposedly, dogs are color blind.  Well, I now have proof they're not - they're barking at the white repair lines, LOL. 

Exactly, Marilyn.  I think you're like me - we only have 2 seasons for exterior home projects - spring and fall.  Summer is just too darned hot and winter is so busy with the holidays.

Juli looks like you did your homework :) a play on my last post.

It is such a pleasure to recommend someone when they do a good job.  Glad to hear he cleaned up, I dislike messy workers who forget about picking up.

Jennifer, you're so right.  We hired a handy man recently for some interior plaster work.  He said he'd clean up in 5 days when he came back after the plaster dried so he could do the final sanding and painting.  WHAT?  We had to walk through the dust and crap on the floor for 5 days - I think not.  Needless to say, you didn't see a localism blog about him, LOL.

Hey, Juli – Thanks for the shoutout. I don’t think I’ve ever had someone show up early here in San Diego, whereas it happened quite often in Texas and Louisiana. In fact, usually they don’t show up at all here and I have to call the next day to find out what happened! And to think we have the best phone system in the world, yet they can't call to say they are running late or won't even make it!

Russel, I SO agree with you.  Personally, I have a 15 minute window of time - if you're late beyond that and don't have the courtesy to call, don't even think you'll be getting MY business.  I'm always amazed that people must obviously have so much money or so much business that they can't respect other people's time.  I wouldn't even call them, like you do - too bad - they just lost a job.

Juliu, hyper local posts do get noticed and P.L. Plastering is getting a fine endorsement and free exposure. Any tradesman that is prompt, efficient and cleans up after themselves is worth the effort. Good job.

Thanks, Joni - isn't Russel the best?  I love the information he gives us - I've learned so much!!!

Joshua - cleanliness and timeliness are two biggies for me. 

Ed, I was truly impressed with his professional attititude and the quality of the work he did and can highly recommend PL Plastering for any work in Maricopa County, Arizona.
