Customers say: Super punctual

"They are very friendly and knowledgeable. The technician that came out took the time to explain everything to me to help me understand how the chimney and fireplace work and why he recommended the repairs he did. And ever since the work was done, our fireplace has been burning cleaner and actually feels safe for my home and my family. Thank you all so much!!"

"I hadn't used my condo's fireplace in the 7 years I owned my condo. I am going to be renting it out so wanted to make sure everything was ok. The technician came over on time (even earlier) and inspected the chimney. It turned out that no cleaning was needed. I was only charged for the inspection and even used the Angie's List coupon. He gave me some advice on screens to use in front of the fireplace and referred me to a vendor."

"Pros: Very prompt.  Took care to protect carpet and furniture. Thorough and friendly.  Made recommendations for approximately $800 of repair work. Cons: Service person took pieces of concrete off the chimney cap to show me the cap was crumbling (I would have preferred he just tell me).  Decided not to reuse service only because of my feelings about the chimney cap.  He did a great job cleaning the chimney.

"Chris and his team arrived right on schedule and because of another customer cancelling were able to begin the work on my ceilings immediately. This flexible scheduling was a HUGE plus!  They removed popcorn ceiling (circa 1980, so possibly asbestos containing) in about 900 square feet of living space (some of which was vaulted.)  Afterwards they applied a beautiful texture they called skip trowel to the ceilings and painted them.  Finally they repaired 3 medium sized holes in the drywall in my bathroom and then retextured the bathroom.  Their painting, ceiling texture, and cleanup were impeccable and I highly recommend their work on ceilings.  The bathroom (which I admit was not in a good state to start with) had excellent repairs made.  I can't tell where the new drywall is at all.  All of the work was done by a team that was respectful and professional.  I felt comfortable with them in my home, which is a huge plus - and did I mention that they cleaned up perfectly?!

There were two small hangups, both of which I think probably fall into a gray area, and for which I take partial blame since I'm just learning how to manage my own home repairs etc.  Since I strongly believe in reviewing truthfully I must point them out.  First, the re-texture in the bathroom seemed to have been done quickly, and turned out to be of uneven size and distribution.  When I called the next day to ask them to come work on the texture again Chris was very kind, and had his team return when promised to sand and reapply the texture.  The results the second time were much better, and they even worked on several small sections repeatedly.  They were very polite and professional the entire time.  My advice is simply to pay very close attention to any texturing and make sure you know what you want it to look like, and what degree of imperfection you are comfortable with.  Its also helpful to have a bright portable work lamp available to view the work before the crew leaves.

The second issue happened when I was told that the small spaces between the drywall and my ceiling beams that were revealed after the popcorn came down were impossible to deal with any other way than adding quarter round.  Since Chris and I had no way of knowing that this flaw was going to show up its fair for him to revise his bid higher to fix it, but I told him to just leave the spaces.  However, when my handiman showed up he told me these spaces just needed hot mud applied to them and that the beams would hold up the hot mud with no problems (the spaces were located directly on top of the beams.)  Now, my handiman did a great job with this repair, but he is definitely not a drywall specialist like Level 5 Drywall.  Did I give him my entire ceiling retexture job? No I did not.  Level 5 told me that quarter round was the only way, and I trust they thought that was the only way.  However, my little handiman managed to do a perfect job and the hot mud dried beautifully, and the spaces are gone.  Perhaps this is an instance were the handiman was willing to put in more effort? Or maybe do something a little shady in order to massage the repair to make it work? Either way, I don't mind having paid extra to have the ceiling I wanted.  If the hot mud falls out in a year I will come make a note of that on Angies List, and then hire Chris to come back and fix it. :)

Overall Chris and his team did a great job, my ceilings are beautiful and my bathroom is much MUCH better than I had believed possible. When I need drywall work again I will absolutely call Level 5!"

"Albert came the day after I called to look at the roof and give me an estimate. He then sent me a contract (complete with copies of their insurance and licensing details) which I signed and put in the mail the next day. The cover letter on the contract said I would be contacted within 1 day of their receiving the signed contract. That didn't happen. I ended up calling them to schedule the repairs after 3 or 4 days had gone by. I was told that they would be there between 7 and 8 that morning and was pleasantly surprised when they showed up at 7:15. They immediately got to work. During the course of the repair, they discovered that my skylight (which was connected to the area they were working on) was badly cracked. They told me about it and said it would need to be replaced sometime. That had been on my to-do list so I readily agreed when they said they could go get a skylight and replace it. They called Albert so I could talk to him about it and find out about the price. While one of the workers went to get a new skylight, the other one continued working. They finished all the repairs including replacing the skylight in about 3.5 hours. When they had finished, they cleaned up and took the old skylight to dispose of. I was told that I would receive the bill in the mail, but when I hadn't received anything in over a week, I called to find out about it. I received it about three days after that. The bill was for the agreed upon amount for the repair and the cost of the new skylight. I have used this company before and feel that they do good work and charge reasonable rates. Albert is very pleasant and the two workers were very polite and professional. They might need to work a little on their responsiveness, but overall I am pleased with them and their work and have recommended them to neighbors."

"Check up went great, they showed us pictures of our roof before, and after they had gone through and done light repairs (nailing down flashing, patching small holes). Very friendly service, and they gave us the confidence we needed about our roof as first -time home buyers. We made it through the winter with no leaks or problems."

"These guys are great! We were scheduled to move in on a Thursday and Danny was able to fit us in 2 days before that. I got a couple of quotes from other companies and Boyd's remodeling was the lowest. I got a discount because the condo was vacant (no furniture). This was a 2 day job. On the first day the entire Condo was prep and the popcorn was removed including all necessary ceiling repairs. On the second day Zack met us and went over where they were at with the job. Jorge did an awesome job painting the ceiling and in only 4 hours! Our ceiling looks fantastic!! The condo even smells better! I would completely recommend this company! Danny called me on Saturday while he was out of town to confirm the start of the job. They truly went above and beyond!

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

The duration of a repair job can range from a few hours to several days. Simpler issues may take 1-4 hours, while more complex work or extensive damage could take 1-3 days. The final timeline depends on the complexity of the problem, the extent of the damage, and the location of the work.

If you’re looking for a reputable furniture repair company, the best-case scenario is getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member. However, you can also ask local furniture repair companies about the following points to determine their experience and quality of work:

  • Warranty for structural repairs

  • Positive online reviews and Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings

  • Number of years of experience

  • Specific expertise with fixing your type of furniture 

  • Ability to carry out on-site repairs to avoid damage during relocation

To prevent sagging, consider both the material and the span of the shelf. Using sturdy materials such as plywood or solid wood can provide better support than particleboard. Additionally, limiting the shelf span to 36 inches or less can reduce the risk of sagging. For longer shelves, incorporating center supports or brackets can offer additional reinforcement.

When deciding whether to repair, reupholster, or replace old furniture, consider its age, quality, level of wear, and overall value, including sentimental attachment. In many cases, it is more affordable to reupholster or repair furniture than to replace it, especially for antique, vintage, or discontinued pieces.

Older furniture is often made from durable hardwoods like oak and maple, giving it a longer lifespan than newer furniture, which frequently uses lower-quality materials such as plywood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Because of this, repairing or reupholstering a well-made older piece is often a worthwhile investment.

To determine the best course of action from a financial perspective, compare quotes from local furniture repair services with the price of a new, similar piece. Reupholstery may not be cost-effective for furniture that was originally inexpensive (e.g., under $300). For high-quality or sentimental items, however, it is an excellent way to preserve the piece and extend its life. If you're unsure, a furniture reupholstery specialist can help you evaluate the piece and make an informed decision.

Yes, you can fill rotten wood with expanding foam. You may prefer using an expanding foam treatment instead of wood filler since the latter can take a long time to dry. It may also provide an easier solution when you’re dealing with smaller gaps. If you use expanding foam, allow it to cure for about 24 hours before you sand and prime it.
