From Failing Ceiling to Flawless Finish: Pacific Aqua Gardens Delivers Full Office Upgrade

The Dalles, Ore., Feb. 12, 2026 — When the aging lathe-and-plaster ceiling in a downtown office began to fail, business owners needed a contractor who could move quickly, work cleanly and deliver a professional finish. They found that partner in Pacific Aqua Gardens Company.

Despite its name, Pacific Aqua Gardens offers far more than water features. The company provides landscaping, lawn maintenance and a wide range of construction and interior improvement services for residential and commercial clients throughout the Gorge.

In this case, the job began with a ceiling that was literally falling down.

“Erick Reyes and his team came to the rescue when the old lathe-and-plaster ceiling in our main office started to fall,” the customer wrote in a review. “Erick and Santiago showed up promptly to remove the old ceiling and replaced it with fireproof sheet rock.”

The scope of work included full demolition of the deteriorating ceiling, installation of fire-resistant sheetrock, taping, mudding and texturing to ensure a seamless match with the existing walls and ceiling. The team then applied primer and a final semi-gloss coat, leaving what the client described as a room that “looks brand new.”

Santiago and Erick Reyes were excited to get to the finish work after finishing the initial tape and mud work, filling in cracks and patching holes.

“They even went the extra steps to texture the walls and the ceiling so that it all matched,” the review noted. “Erick and Cesar did a superb job on applying primer and a final coat of semi gloss.”

Beyond craftsmanship, the company earned praise for its professionalism and flexibility. According to the customer, the crew adjusted its schedule to avoid disrupting other tenants in the building and completed a thorough cleanup after the work was finished.

“They then cleaned the floors and all the areas affected by all the dust,” the client wrote. “Huge thanks to Erick and his team.”

Wow, what a difference, in just a few short weeks Erick and his team delivered a new room that is fresh and welcoming for visitors and friends.

Projects like this highlight the company’s broader capabilities. In addition to landscaping and lawn care, Pacific Aqua Gardens handles construction upgrades, interior remodel work and specialty projects that require attention to detail and a clean, finished look.
