We had to open our bathroom ceiling to fix a leak, and after the pipe was repaired, we reached out to Danny via Yelp for drywall work. We received a quote through Yelp and spoke with him over the phone the next day. He came by that same day to assess the site and started the work the following day. The job was completed over three visits (drywall repair, texturing, and painting), and we are very satisfied with the results. You can't even tell that the ceiling was ever cut open. Danny also went above and beyond by taking care of a few extra details that weren't included in the original scope, such as cleaning the vent before reinstalling the cover and touching up a small area that needed paint. We would definitely work with Danny again if we need any drywall work in the future. read more

Danny is very responsive and quick with his quotes. They started promptly and on time. Work proceeded efficiently and with attention to detail. I hired them for a job patching some water damaged drywall on my tall vaulted ceilings. Danny did great work patching up 3 large areas and then repainted the entire ceiling. They matched the texture very well and it's impossible to notice the patched areas. It now looks great just like when it was new. During the job they covered the floor and the area with drapes to prevent dust from flying around. At the end they cleaned up and removed all debris. read more

We reached out to Dan to patch and paint our ceilings, after installing recessed lighting in all rooms. Dan was wonderful to work with. They would communicate plan and status everyday until the project was completed. read more

Dan is the man! If you need quality work done quickly, call him. The leak from my toilet had caused water damage in my downstairs neighbors ceiling. I was responsible for finding someone to repair it...I was worried I wouldn't find someone since it was the week before Thanksgiving. I saw Dan's website on Google and the glowing reviews so I decided to give him a call. From the moment he answered the phone he was friendly, personable, helpful and very responsive. Within a couple minutes we had already set up a time he could come do an onsite inspection. He was at the site the next day giving me a quote and starting the work. I was so grateful. My neighbors were absolutely thrilled at how great he and his son were and thanked me for finding such a delightful team to fix their ceiling. I would give Dan 10/10 and highly recommend anyone who needs fair rates and quality work to give him a call! read more

I hired Danny to do my 120SQFT backyard office with level 5 finishing. A couple thing worth mentioning. I got a quote from him just by providing the permit drawing and quoting was smooth. Danny cares about quality of the work and he takes his time to get the drywall right. A lot of contractors wants to hurry and finish the work but he is not. The office finishes great and my wife is happy. read more

I initially thought I was getting a good value with Dan Pena Drywall as their bid for a popcorn ceiling removal, smoothing of the walls, and repainting the entire interior was by far the most competitive. However it has proven to be a major disaster that would cost far more to fix. Not only were there major delays and cost overruns, the drywall is now easily damaged by a mere bump. Worse of all, the paint has started to come off like paper. This is completely unacceptable. They are promised to address these issues, but have never shown up. Be aware! Update: The owner is now harassing me saying that I was never a customer and have the wrong business. This is downright dishonest and shows how desperate they are to remove the review. Check out the contract if you want proof. read more

Danny said he didn't need my review but here I am because I feel that great contractors are hard to come by after my experience in working with so many the past 2 months. (looks like others felt the same as I was supposed to be review 100!) I feel grateful that I was able to have Danny, Davin and Angel repair the drywall for my ceiling after water damage. Their work and work ethic is impeccable. I definitely took the time to vet all the drywall contractors (believe me, there were many) before making a final decision as the ceiling that needed repairs was in the middle of the room. It was time consuming and tiring, but it needed to be done. I was definitely swayed by the great reviews and the pictures, but talking to Danny and Davin in person sealed the deal. Though Danny's quote averaged on the higher end from my quotes, I felt his results and professionalism justified the cost and was a fair price. When they came out to take a look, Danny gave me all the knowledge he had. I appreciated his honesty, insights, and additional repairs he made along the way. His confidence in his work made me feel at ease. I never felt hesitant to ask about anything and they would always make things right. The perfectionist in him met with my standards perfectly. They took the time to let each step dry before moving on and were great with communication. With the work done, it looks brand new. It's like nothing bad had happened to our ceiling. Again, great work and great contractors are hard to come by and I would recommend Danny and Davin to anyone who needs a drywall repair. read more

I hired Dan to patch drywall in the ceilings which were opened up to install recess lighting. He came highly recommended and I'm fully satisfied with his work. Dan cares about the output and took his time to do a nice job. The ceilings look great and it's difficult to tell there was patch work done. He left the place clean and tidy. Would definitely consider hiring Dan on any future projects. read more

I reached out to have our ceiling taken care of after a plumber tore a rather large hole out and spent the night compiling quotes. I was worried since many others only did drywall installation and called it a day (low-quality work) -- Dan Pena did it all from end to end. They were able to match the texture and find the right mix of paint to get it properly done. They wore masks the whole time, put down a large protective area around the whole thing, and handled all the clean-up. They were quick to respond to text messages after we agreed on a price and always let me know when they would be coming and what the next steps were. Here's hoping we don't have to deal with another plumbing issue again, but if we need a true professional and licensed expert, I know exactly who to call. read more

Dan Peña Drywall - Finished area looks indistinguishable from the rest of the place. - Painters Near Me - San Jose, California

I had a major water leak over the kitchen ceiling that caused significant damage to the ceiling and neighboring wall requiring repair and repainting of the ceiling. I hired Dan Pena Drywall even though at first I thought their bid was north of what I was looking for, but I needed the repair done quickly to prevent possible structural damage. Davin came and started the job within a couple of days, and completed it on schedule and we are very happy with the results! I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality, reliable work in this field! Thanks Dan and Devin!! read more

Hired Dan to drywall a tough shed to convert it into a home office. Dan was able to also insulate, paint, and frame a wall for me. Dan is responsive, skilled, competent, quick, complete, and approachable. He communicates in a timely manner and makes great suggestions. I found him to personable and easy to work with as well. But here's the awesome part... His work was flawless! The ceiling was incredible. He got the job done quickly - he was on the job everyday except when the drywall was curing... and did an exceptional job. The walls, framed room, added pocket door, paint, and trim were completed with care and precision. The insulation has kept the office nice and cozy through all the recent storms. I could not be happier. Dan went above and beyond in fixing a few things about the tough shed that he didn't like - adding more framing and reattaching the front door and weather stripping. We were so happy with his work that we hired him to put in the hardwood floors as well! They're beautiful and perfectly set. We're hiring Dan for a bunch of future projects which is saying a lot... we've been through some terrible craftsmen and contractors. Dan is awesome. Attaching photos of the excellent job. read more

My plumber had to open the drywall on a ceiling to fix a leak. Dan then came in and did a great job from start to finish with the repair of the 2'x3' hole. A perfectionist, he and his son insisted in doing the job in three days (so that each layer could dry). The result was a perfect "invisible" patch. All elements of the process were A+: responsiveness, price, and execution. Highly recommended! read more

Dan Peña Drywall - Prior to repair. The patch is invisible! - Painters Near Me - San Jose, California

Danny, Sal, and Davin were all amazing to work with. Don't risk it with other drywall repair guys on Yelp, most of them here don't even have contractor licenses! I found these guys through the CSLB after calling nearly a dozen others and rejecting them because they did not have C-9 license. In the end, I received 3 quotes from licensed drywall contractors and and went with Dan Peña because they were very communicative, flexible with timing, and seemed to care about minimizing debris. We had a fairly large project, costing about $6,000 in drywall repairs alone after having in-wall speakers and network cable installed throughout our townhouse. These guys were very flexible, communicative, and transparent about the work that needed to be done. They were also thoughtful in execution to minimize collateral damage to furniture and flooring. The repairs were finished to the point where we can't even tell that the walls were ever opened up, which is amazing given our orange peel wall texture. The one point of semi-negative feedback I'd have is around billing and quote generation, and even then, part of that is my fault for adding things halfway through. Still, I'd prefer to have everything detailed in writing, as the original quote as written was pretty broad in scope. read more

If I could give them 10 stars, I would do it without hesitation! We had a water damage and our whole entire dining room, living room and part of kitchen walls got damaged. Dan and his crew worked tirelessly to make it look perfect again. Dan is very meticulous with his work and very detail oriented and his crew always clean up after themselves. They even helped us drill in holes for our recessed lighting and did touch up paint even though that wasn't included in the contract. Their pricing is very reasonable, and you will get the bonus jokes from Dan. Thanks Dan and team for your help and we will for sure reach out again for other drywall work! read more

Everything went smoothly from estimate to cleanup. We had a difficult skylight patch job in a high ceiling over stairwell and several contractors couldn't figure out how to do it. Danny and his team were great, worked with us on a solution and got the job done quickly and results exceeded expectations. Communication was good also with daily status reports. We will definitely use them again. read more

Sal was super chill for a tradesman and that made it easy to work with him. He strategically hired a "giant of a man" (I'm six four 320 and, yes he's even bigger) who could do the whole job without a ladder. The work was done quickly but not skimping on quality workmanship. He was accommodating when he had vehicle problems and went the extra mile to make the job worth the money. Go Pena! read more

Dan took care of two projects: 1) Drywall in the kitchen after some water damage we had 2) Extending our Master Bedroom closet by removing built-in furniture and remove drywalls inside the closet. For both projects, the quality of the work was amazing. My kitchen wall is looking great, does even feel like we never had any water damage. The new design for our closet is also really good. I really encourage you to hire Dan if you want high quality work. You can tell that there is many year of experience and knowledge. You won't be disappointed. read more

Definitely would recommend for anyone needing popcorn ceiling removal! Scheduling was super easy with Sal. He was able to accomldate my schedule and he and his partner showed up early to my house. They did the work cleanly and quickly, and even finished early. Very professional and also affordable. Would recommend! read more

We had a roof leak that severely damaged our upstairs walk-in-closet. The water damage resulted in having to remove the damaged sheetrock and then hire a drywall installer. I found Dan Pena through yelp and extremely glad that I did. His prices quotes were very competitive and most of all Dan is willing to work out the best affordable price for installation. Dan is also great at communicating the best dates and time to begin work. Dan and his son wore PPE due to cover-19 and did an outstanding job installing the new drywall. Would definitely use again. read more

Danny and his team did an outstanding job installing my ceiling at my new condo. They are super easy to work with and flexile to work around your schedule and your timeline. Not only did they exceed my expectations with how good my new ceiling looked but they also finished ahead of schedule to accommodate my move-in date. These guys are the real deal! I would not hesitate to give them a call for any future projects. read more

Reached out to Dan Pena drywall to have a simple fix done on some sheetrock and was given a different number to contact to have it taken care of. When I reached out I felt like the guy had no idea of who referred me but said he could help me out. After trying to set up a solid appointment the guy pushed me off with a few "I think I can fit you in" responses, I decided to reach out elsewhere. Not that I was unhappy with the work, just that I never had the opportunity to have them even come out and look. read more

I reached out to Danny to patch two plumbing holes (one at the ceiling and one at the bathroom wall) after my plumbers completed the fix. Danny gave a good reasonable estimate not like any others and was able to come on the same day. We had a ceiling hole which was from the water leaking from upstairs. After Danny's initial inspection, the hole was actually bigger than we thought and we found there's some water damage on the ceiling. Danny gave me a good deal to take care of all for a little bit extra. We think it is reasonable since this is definitely more work than we originally thought. Everything went smooth the whole process. The water damage was well taken care of. And the patching and texture are so nice. Thank you Danny! I would highly recommend Danny for any drywall repairs. We will definitely look nowhere else in future. read more

Dan was super! I have never had a more positive experience with a contractor.His work was great, he was responsive, followed through on his word, came when he said he would, and finished the job in our rushed time frame. If you need drywall work done don't need to look further. Dan's the man. Him and his crew really were the best experience of working with a contractor we've ever had. If they could all be that responsive, timely, and proud of the quality they put out. Thank again Dan! read more

We had pipes to the laundry room changed due to a leak. The plumbers left the wall patched up and looking horrible. We found Dan on Yelp and couldn't be happier. He provided a quick and reasonable estimate, explained what he would do and how many visits it would take. The result looks better than before the plumbing fix. He's a great guy and easy to work with. Glad we found him. read more

Danny was excellent. He did the job for a reasonable price, and he completed it quickly. He sent me regular status updates throughout the project since I was out of town when it was being done. 100% would recommend. read more

Super pleased with the responsiveness, consideration, promptness and craftsmanship. Dan came by for an inspection and quote and his initial assessment proved to be accurate. On top of this the extra work we requested (paint matching and painting) were quite quite reasonably and perfectly done. Highly recommended for any similar job. read more

My wife and I are extremely happy to have done business with Danny and his team. We just did a total facelift of a rental property in Santa Clara and now we feel like moving in ourselves, lol. We have an older house which had popcorn ceiling. Danny and his team removed the popcorn ceiling, put on a nice texture and repainted it, along with the rest of the house. While doing that, they noticed and offered to fix several minor defects on the house for free. Later, they even helped us put up a new light fixture over the dinning area and replaced many electrical wall outlet cover plates at no charge. They were friendly, efficient and easy to communicate with. We look forward to working with him again in the future. read more

Needed a 2' x 5' hole in my living room ceiling patched due to a drain overflow in my home from upstairs. It was a 4 day process due to the texturing required. Each time they came, they set up plastic and covered my furniture and floors, did the work quickly, and cleaned up like they weren't even ever there! Also, they were really nice folks!! read more

Dan is awesome. He came to do repairs to drywall and stirs. He let me know when he was en route and clearly communicated the whole way through. Clearly a professional. Highly recommend. read more

I had Danny come out to tear out the sheet rock of a bathroom ceiling (approx 9' x 5') as I had a new Panasonic exhaust fan installed by another contractor. Danny covered the area to keep it dust free and had the sheet rock removed in about 1.5 hours. He also brought over his son who helped out. He then put up the 1/2" new sheet rock, taped the seems and covered with all purpose compound. Danny does texture in stages to let it dry and then cover so it does not crack. He came back later in the day for another thin layer, then back the following day to finish texture (hand trowel). Very happy with his work, he is personable and easy to talk to. I also had him patch a few pieces in another bathroom and kitchen at additional cost. He charged $360 to tear down and put up new sheet rock on 9' x 5' bathroom ceiling and texture which I feel is a fair rate. 5 stars, highly recommended. read more

We had ceiling fans installed in our home and needed Dan to fill 10 areas that were cut open from the installation. After his help, our walls and ceilings looked better than before we even had anything installed. They even fixed/painted a few additional areas in my house that didn't have to do with his job. He's very friendly, responsive, and experienced. I think his pricing is fair and would 100% recommend Dan. read more

110% satisfied with their service. I had scheduled some popcorn removal + painting work from Danny for a new house I bought on the day after escrow was scheduled to close. I was having some last minute issues with the bank, and Danny stayed flexible with the scheduling, relieving a ton of stress from me. His guys did a great job with work, I even noticed a couple of marks away from the work area that were touched up without my even asking them. His guys got the job done quick and cleaned up well after they were done. Would definitely use them again if needed! read more

We hired Dan Pena to retexture our ceilings after we had asbestos removed. We had two other offers and chose Dan because he was recommended by our asbestos removal company and his availability fitted our schedule. Price was good too! Jim did most of the work and he was very friendly and hard working. We are very happy with the results! Dan was most of the time very responsive, either by mail, text, or phone. They were also clear and cooperative when it came to extra things we added along the way (patch an extra hole here and there, adding another ceiling etc), which I very much appreciated. Thank you Jim and Dan! read more

I highly recommend Dan Pena for any drywall work. He took on a large project that other people in the business couldn't figure out. Dan has a very keen attention to detail and he took a lot of time to do certain parts of the job to make sure it looked right instead of rushing it. Danny is truly a perfectionist. Also he's careful to keep the whole place clean and covered with drop cloths and plastic. He even helped with more smaller projects months later and was very accommodating of my work schedule. Thanks for all the work, my place looks awesome now! read more

Dan is a true professional. He's a contractor of integrity who's honest and fairly priced. His suggestions and tips are great and his experience truly comes out during the project. He drywalled a fairly large patch job in a kitchen living room area that needed to be matched with the existing level 5 throughout the house. He did a fantastic job. In summary, he's honest, he's reasonable and he's a pro. If you are looking for a drywall contractor, don't hire a bum. Hire Dan, the man. read more

Dan Pena did an amazing job!!!!! He was punctual and very considerate taking his shoes off before coming in. (We are Asian) and he was quick too.

While we were out of town over the 4th of July, our home was flooded with a major water leak. Holes in ceiling, pieces of ceiling fell, walls and flooring in several areas impacted. Impossible to find one company that would take on all elements of repair. Found emergency plumbers who found starting point of leak. Then called 10 companies before finding one willing to mitigate water, and do dry out. At the time I ended up going into the hospital for Colon cancer surgery and could not return to a wet, damaged, house. The dry out company couldn't do repairs. After being released from the hospital and spending two weeks out of town to recuperate, we read reviews on Dan Pena's Drywall Company. In our experience we concur with all the positive comments. We found Dan, his son, Devin and entire crew, personable, professional and reliable. They completed drywall repairs, painting in a very reasonable timeframe and cost. We highly recommend Dan Pena and Company! Robin and Bill read more

I enjoyed working with Dan. He is a real person with really good skills. He works organized, clean, and he listens and communicate well. Good Dan a try if you need drywall (and some side paint touch ups). I will hire him again for sure. Good guy to call on when you need good work done! read more
