I had Charlie out to repair the walls in my 105 year old bungalow. It was a pretty extensive job as it covered most of the first floor of the home including the ceilings. He was timely and the work turned out fantastic, a year and a half later the walls still look like they were just redone. I have and will continue to recommend Charlie to anyone looking for plaster wall repairs. read more

They may have great service but the person who answered the phone told me I was out of his service area, that he didn't go past 35th street in Chicago. While his service area states well past Orland which is a far south suburb. I am well within his service area. I live near the lake in city limits. read more

My 115-year-old West Rogers Park ceilings had significant problems after our roof started leaking in several spots. Got the roof repaired and called Bosco Plastering. He did a phenomenal job! Ceiling looks like new and he took care of the cracked walls. It's like a new house! Charlie is so skilled, a real craftsman, and is a pleasure to work with. He showed up on time every day, finished ahead of schedule, cleaned everything and returned my place to me better than ever. I'm going to have my bedrooms and bath replastered. I'll call Charlie again. I highly recommend him. read more

Charlie just finished patching several large holes in the ceiling and walls of our 100+ yo house. He did a fabulous job and I'm very happy with the results. He was able to fit me in quickly and his pricing was very reasonable. You don't find many craftsmen with this skill. I highly recommend Bosco Plastering! read more

Charlie and his assistant removed peeling stucco plaster and re-plastered the walls on the two levels of our 2-flat staircase. The result is smooth and perfect; Charlie is a craftsman! We're very happy we chose Bosco Plastering to keep the plaster as opposed to use drywall, retaining the quality of our 100-year old building. Charlie arrived on time and cleaned up each day. He invoiced us for the exact amount he quoted even though the project extended an extra day because of the high humidity, causing the plaster to dry more slowly. Excellent work and highly recommend! read more

They really know how to fix damaged plaster in old houses and make it look great. Also, it's easy to work with them, good communication.

I needed my plaster walls skim coated and repaired. I needed them in good paintable condition. I also needed some new drywall over my plaster ceilings and in areas on walls. Bosco was one of the few contractors that could do both plaster and drywall. I got several quotes and Bosco was very competitive. Ultimately, they did a great job on my walls. I painted my walls when they were done and I was able to see up close that they did a great job. Charlie is the owner and he was responsive on the phone and texting. I would use them again and I will refer them out. Great job! read more

We are doing a gut rehab in Lincoln Park and are very lucky to have found Charlie to do the plaster work in the house. The quality of his work is incredible, he stuck to his timeline, he was very polite with our neighbor (who was overseeing part of the project while we were away) and he was very clean and organized. Our walls and ceilings look amazing! read more

Charlie did a great job fixing my cracked ceilings and water damaged columns. He did the work beautifully, quickly and was reasonable for the professional work he did. He did a great job of covering our furniture and cleaned up well afterwards. I would recommend Charlie for any plaster repair work. Stan Gershenson Chicago read more

Charlie does fantastic work! He is on time, attentive and truly knows what he is doing! highly recommended. small jobs, big jobs, you name it, he can get it done. I can't speak highly enough of him. Just check out his website and you can see how passionate he is about his work! read more

This guy did a job plastering for part of a contract and left a huge mess. He was later scheduled to come back for an independent job which I had to schedule months in advance. When the time came for him to show up he informed me that he had a higher paying job elsewhere and I was out of luck. I had a new plaster come and told me the problems with the job Boscoe had done as well. They are not trustworthy so go with someone else. read more

Charlie made my horribly damaged, full of holes, water stained, mess of walls in my 1914 home beautiful again. He fixed every wall and ceiling in the entire house after they had been partially demolished to have the electric rewired throughout. He knows what he's doing, is thorough in his work, and was a pleasure to work with. I really appreciated that he was able to salvage and repair the plaster walls, when every contractor I talked to recommended tearing every wall out and putting in drywall. Plaster is sturdy and original to the house, so I was happy to keep it, with Charlie's help. read more

Charlie Bosco not only performs great work but he is also well priced considering that there isn't many "true" plasters still around. Having remodeled our Chicago home we used Charlie for all the work done over the years. He provides good advice on what can or cant be done. We were more than happy on the cost given well done job, Highly recommended for keeping that traditional home intact. read more

He has done several jobs for me, and I've always been more than pleased with his work. He arrived on time, got the job done on time, and my place was always clean at the end of the day. I'd definitely use him again. His website gives you an idea of how good a job he does. read more

We recently had Bosco Plastering in to do the many plaster repairs we couldn't do. Charlie was very prompt every day, pleasant & finished the job as quickly as possible. Our walls & ceilings turned out fantastic, they even managed to match the strange popcorn pattern in our basement. He also went above & beyond by repairing a few spots we missed! Overall, we found Bosco Plastering to be reasonably priced, dependable & excellent at what they do. We wouldn't hesitate to call Charlie again! read more

"I don't have that with me." That is his excuse when you ask him to complete the job to perfection. Who in the plaster business doesn't have drywall and plastering in his/her truck? I needed a small job done at my place. We dicussed the issue with my place and what needed to be fixed. Unfortuantely, he only fixed one of the problems and did not go above and beyond and just put a little (2 inch) amount of plaster in another spot that we discussed. He said that wasn't part of the contract. I almost asked him to leave my place with the tone of voice that he used. I would never use him again. Also, takes a long time for him to be available for a job. However, he does show up on time. He does do a good job as it was completed to perfection. Possibly you might have better luck and communication with Charlie. read more

I used Charlie Bosco to do plastering while restoring a mansion on Wellington Ave. He did excellent work, and was a pleasure to work with. He also did run-in-place plaster crown molding, perfectly matching the existing profile that had been damaged, and also textured plaster walls. I would work with Charlie any time. read more

We couldn't be more impressed with Charlie and the work he does! He works efficiently and was able to complete our necessary plaster work before we moved in to our house. Went above and beyond what we asked him to do and was so professional and friendly while our dog supervised his work :) He even came back the day after the job was done to fix another spot that we found which wasn't in our original agreement. Left everything clean and was so helpful with tips for us as new homeowners. Look no further if you need this sort of work done, he is phenomenal! read more
