    Getting quotes to replaster

    Second contractor came out this afternoon and said they only chip it all out. Also said tile would most likely need to come out as well. We will see what his quote is later today.

    It will be another pebble type finish. I have another contractor coming out on Monday for another quote and I will see what he says.

    Getting quotes to replaster
