Master Plastering & Services, Inc.

The job that keeps coming up is the one nobody plans for: a plumber cuts a hole in your ceiling, an ice dam soaks a wall, and somebody has to make it look like it never happened. Master Plastering & Services works out of 12 Robert Street in Lowell doing plaster and drywall repair, ceiling work and the painting that follows, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, 194618, is active and held in the company's own name. BBB grades it A+ and files it under drywall contractors. The volume is unusual for a shop this size — 4.8 across 141 Google ratings, 4.7 across 389 on Angi and HomeAdvisor, with fourteen reviews in the last six months alone. What customers keep describing is the vanishing act. A third-time client writing in July 2025 said the repair, with a fresh coat of paint, was indistinguishable from the rest of the wall. In May 2026 someone had a 20-by-20-inch hole cut in a shell-pattern ceiling to reach a leaking pipe and said the pattern was matched. In April 2026 a customer with dozens of holes across exterior walls said several paint colours were matched so the wall never had to be fully repainted. Speed and tidiness are the other refrains. A November 2025 customer asked for quotes on a Wednesday, signed on Friday, and had the ceiling plastered and painted by Monday night. A May 2025 client described tarps down, shoes off at the door and the site cleaned at the end of each working day. Owner Marcio turns up for estimates himself in several accounts, and a May 2026 client with ice-dam water damage said his quote was the lowest of three by a fair margin. Two accounts run the other way, and both concern paint rather than plaster. In September 2025 a one-star reviewer said the company would not answer emails about damage left after a ceiling was painted, or about seams that were meant to be fixed. And in May 2023 a customer who hired them to install a pantry and repaint an entire Woburn condo called the paint job a disaster and the carpentry butchered, describing repeated rounds of rework — while allowing that the company may be good at plastering. That split is the useful thing to carry into the call. For plaster, drywall and ceiling repair the history here is deep and consistent, and the last six months hold that line. If what you want is a full repaint or carpentry, ask who specifically will be on site for that part, get the scope in writing, and settle upfront how punch-list items are handled once the crew has gone.
