patching plastered ceiling and...
...dry walling entire ceiling.
Hello, I am a handyman here in Frankenmuth Mi.. I am tearing out a kitchen for a customer. Gutting it might be a better word. I open a wall to have another access to the D.R. Soffits were removed and considerable damaged occurred and was expected.
The home owner wants me to patch the ceiling and then re-drywall over the top. I'll do what ever he wants. But I truly believe the plastered ceiling should come down. Then fresh dry wall install.
What do you think?
Thank you
rob

This is one of those times when the contractor is asking for more money and the homeowner thinks you're just doing it for the money. Your job now is to educate the homeowner so they understand why it needs to be done your way instead of theirs.
