He gives a price itemized estimate which is really helpful in understanding how much each aspect of the project will cost. He also really knows what he is talking about when it comes to painting (ie which paint brands work best and how to get the best end product). He comes when he is supposed to come and does really high quality work by hand (no paint spraying). He can also do repairs if you need them. Definitely will work with him again in the future and highly recommend!

On the day he was supposed to come for estimate, he messaged me maybe 30 minutes before saying he…read morewould be maybe an hour late. I asked him if he could replace a corner brick for my ground patio, and touch up grouting around the bricks. I know nothing of concrete and bricks, that's why I needed someone. He said he was going to come Monday 09/23. He got the work done, and I tipped him roughly 13% on top of the estimate he game me. Two days later the one corner brick he replaced was good, but 3 nearby bricks cracked in half. That one stretch of grouting I wanted touched up was fixed, but new cracks formed as a result of the work completed. I messaged him 09/25 saying roughly more damage has been done than his work was supposed to fix. He asked if he could come Saturday 09/28. I said sure. It was beautiful day I would have preferred to goto the beach or something. I waited all day and afternoon and sent him messages. I didn't get a message until that evening that he wasn't going to come. Maybe he went to the beach for me! He asked if he could come Monday 09/30. I said sure, just park and do what you need. He never came just asked me what the weather was. So I took a screenshot of the weather for the next 10 days and sent to him 09/30 in the evening, then asked him on 10/03 when he would like to come. Today is 10/05 and I haven't received a message. Today is also a beautiful day, maybe he went to the beach for me!

They do very good quality work at a reasonable price. A lot of things had to be in place before they started working, such as restrictions, permits, etc. They were very patient in getting everything in place before work started.

Will be requesting their services soon for more ongoing projects now that I have found a quality, reliable contractor with reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Although I caught him at a busy time and had to reschedule, he was able to come back a couple days later and complete the work. Ben is very knowledgeable and seemed to use only the best drywall materials which I appreciated. Super friendly guy and I recommend him for your drywall repair needs.
