I Have been in Business for 25 years with 35 years of experience in Drywall & Painting. I am licensed in 2 trades, Drywall & Painting. Service area : Orange County.
Newly applied paint on my home office was separating from the ceiling texture - cause unknown. Mark came to our home to look at the ceiling, emailed me an estimate of the cost AND also outlined all steps he would take to repair the problem. I liked that he outlined what he would do to repair the ceiling and make it look good. He came every day exactly at the time he said he would, he protected our flooring while he was working on site, he cleaned up after each day's work, his work each day was meticulous -- no mess. On Friday morning he did the touch-up painting of the walls around the ceiling perimeter. By late afternoon, I had moved back into my office, with the ceiling looking perfect, the white ceiling edges perfectly painted and blue walls perfectly edged. I asked him if he does exterior painting. He said he does. We will hire him for our exterior house painting in early Summer. I am extremely pleased with the work he did. He is very professional and very personable -- easy to work with and extremely competent.
Description of Work: Mark first masked off the walls and the contents of the closet with plastic sheeting. Then he scraped the peeling paint and texture off the ceiling in my home office and closet. Next he applied a cost of Zinsser Guardz to entire ceiling and allowed it to dry overnight. Then he applied a coat of joint compound to entire office and closet ceiling and allowed it to dry overnight. He sanded office and closet ceilings and applied a very light orange peel texture to ceiling surfaces and allowed that to dry overnight. Next he applied Zinsser Primer/Sealer/Stain Blocker" to entire office and closet ceilings and allowed the primer to dry overnight. Finally he applied the top coat of finish paint in my chosen shade of white to entire office and closet ceilings and removed masking. Then he trimmed in wall color [blue] at corners where the walls met the ceiling around the entire circumference of office walls. He left my office neat and clean and -- miraculously no dust anywhere in the closet! A PERFECT JOB!

After getting several estimates we decided to have Mark's drywall do the work. The first day he was able to remove the wallpaper from our two rooms, a bedroom ceiling and bath. The next day he prepared the walls for the texture and the third he came back to do the texturizing. He answered all our questions and gave us painting tips. As I said above, he cleaned up the rooms each day and was very considerate when going in and out about our floors and carpet. We also plan to use him for some painting in the future.
Description of Work: We were very pleased with the work from Mark's Drywall Service. When he removed the wallpaper in one room we found it had not been textured so he was able to do that for us also. I had heard that texturizing can be a messy job but not from him. He was friendly, prompt and very thorough. He cleaned up the rooms each day and was respectful of our carpet and wood floors. He was very responsible about keeping our appointments. We would absolutely use him again and give him our highest recommendation.

Mark responded quickly to my original request for services. He arrived to give me an estimate on time and sent me the estimate when he said he would. Mark did a great job. The ceiling and walls look amazing. Every day, he arrived on time and cleaned up nicely after himself. He made sure he protected other surfaces by protecting them with plastic or paper. While Mark was working on the garage, I then also had him give me as estimate on patching some water damaged drywall in the house. The price was reasonable and he did a amazing job there as well. I would definitely use Mark again in the future. He was a joy to work with, very professional, did excellent work and was on time every day.
Description of Work: Mark replaced the drywall on parts of my garage ceiling and replaced parts of the drywall on the walls. He also applied Orange Peel Texturing over the drywall. He also repaired some water damaged drywall in our master bedroom.

Mark was amazing, returning my call promtly and always kept in touch. Was an absolutely pleasure to deal with, went way beyond what he promised, added all those little touches, staining the rack for hanging clothes on, replacing all plug covers and heat covers, really going the extra mile. He also kept to his time promise, I needed the job done urgently and he completed it all in time.
Description of Work: Mark had to remove the old wallpaper and the glue that was left on the walls that was probably forty years old. He textured the walls He also removed the popcorn off the ceiling, even though I asked him about this when he was ready to paint. He painted the walls, skirting, cupboard doors, door, inside cupboard and removed some mold.

.We couldn't be more pleased with Mark's work. He is an excellent painter and very neat worker.
Description of Work: Mark removed the "cottage cheese" from the ceiling in our TV room. Then he took out the built in cabinets. Next he removed the oak chair rail and wallpaper from the walls. He prepared the ceiling for the "orange peel" effect. Also he prepared the walls for painting. Mark then painted the ceiling and walls. After our new oak entertainment system was installed, Mark put a coat of stain on the entertainment system. While it was dryilng he prepared the crown moulding and baseboards for painting. Then he put a coat of varnish on the entertainment system. While that was drying he painted the crown moulding and baseboards. After two days of drying the entertainment system was lightly sanded and dusted for a second coat of varnish. Mark always showed up when he said he would. He always cleaned up nicely. We are so pleased with his work that we have already called him back to do another job for us.

It went great, as we've come to expect from him. He is able to accurately predict how long it will take to finish the job. (3 days) He was careful not to drip any primer or paint on our new wood floors, or on any of our counters or furniture and cleaned up every day before he left. He was personable and got along well with me, my wife, and our 6 year old son. (Even our cat liked him!) His pricing is reasonable and up front. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. I think "Mark's Drywall Service" could just as easily be "Mark's Painting Service".
Description of Work: We liked the work he did with us so much from the last time, that we decided to hire him to prime and paint downstairs.

The overall exerience was exceptional. Mark adjusted his work to accomodate my eradic work schedule. (Not an easy task) He was prompt, professional, and efficient. Furniture moved, plastic went up, ceiling came down, mess cleaned up and furniture was put back in its rightful place. Mark was even able to finish ahead of schedule. I highly recommend him.

Mark arrived on time daily and provided a good quality of service and workmanship. The ceiling was well smoothed and painted after acoustic ceiling removal. The stucco was repaired and repainted well. However there were cost additions that were not communicated during the process. This resulted in a 25% final cost rise above the original estimate. These cost should have been accurately communicated to prevent surprises on the final bill. Overall he is professional and good with his work. However communication on cost needs to be improved.

Response from Mark's Drywall Service
The cost additions were extras added on by the homeowner and all pricing was discussed and verbally agreed upon prior to any of the extra work being performed. The 25% price increase was all extra work that was not on the original estimate, And approximately 50% of these extra costs were for materials only. I also spent about 10 hours of unbilled time doing doing extras for the homeowner that were not mentoined in the comments.I was surprised of the homeowners review since the homeowner did not express any suprise or concern over the final billing.

Everything went Great, I don't see how anything could have worked out better. Mark is the best person I've ever had work on my home, I wish he did more then just drywall, I'd use him for everything. Its a shame more people do not work as hard as he does with the same care and dedication. He is a artist with dry wall and texturing! If you don't use him your making a mistake!
Description of Work: I had a major slab leak in my home and I needed a lot of drywall repair work done. About 2 feet of drywall needed to be replaced along the entire down stairs, along with a number of other holes and cut outs that needed to be fixed too. Mark came in and fixed it all... good as new...I had no idea how much work went into repairing dry wall...WOW! I also had Mark drywall and texture the open void I had underneath my stairs. He cleaned up after himself above and beyond any mess he made. It was like my house got cleaner every day he was there! How that worked I don't no...but he's d*** good at what he does!

Mark did an excellent job and it is impossible to tell where the repairs were done. He is a pleasant and courteous person. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Hopefully, I won't need anymore repairs but if I ever should, I would call Mark first. He knows drywall, has years of experience, is methodical and doesn't rush things. He gets them right the first time!
Description of Work: He repaired drywall holes all over my house and garage caused by a plumbing re-pipe job. After repairing the drywall, he painted those areas.

He was on time. He did an excellent job. The cost was about $700. We found a little spot that I wanted him to come back and complete. Even after I had paid him completely for the job, he came back and touched it up for no extra charge and without any complaint. It needed a little more texture. So he came back on an appointed time and finished it up. I thought that his price was very fair because he had a lot of work to do. His punctuality and professionalism were great. He was excellent. I was so glad that I hired him. It was for my mom’s home and she was going to assisted living. She was so proud because it was just beautiful when she came back. He did an excellent job. The house wasn’t properly done in the first place. The drywall hadn’t been properly attached in the first place. It took him quite a bit of time to fix it and he did a really outstanding job. It was very nice. I also thought it was a very fair price because the quality of his work was so high. His quality and workmanship were both outstanding. His responsiveness was very good. He was on time and responded quickly. I would definitely use Mark’s Drywall Service in the future too.
Description of Work: I used Mark’s Drywall Service probably in May for drywall repair since there were cracks.

Outstanding experience with Mark's Drywall. Remodeled a master bath and used several contractors. Mark was the only contractor we used that; was on time, communicated perfectly throughout the service and had completed the job on time with no surprises. Without a doubt, I would recommend Mark's Drywall and utilize their services again. Thanks for your great workmanship and professionalism. Hans
Description of Work: We remodeled a master bath and used several contractors. Altogether we utilized a; tile worker, plumber, electrical and Mark's Drywall for; replacement, repair, texture and paint of our master bath and shower area. Mark had the challenge of making the drywall straight to fit the new tile area. Custom work was a key factor in getting our master right and to have that finished and completed look.

Mark was very responsive and came out to give me a quote within a day of my initial call. He emailed a very professional, detailed quote within two days after his visit. I didn't get other quotes as his came in right at what I had expected. He arrived on the agreed upon morning promptly and got right to work. He prepped and cleaned up every day and I hardly knew he was there. He finished in the time frame he had estimated and charged me exactly what he quoted. His work is amazing. The damaged wall looks brand new and nobody would be able to tell where it was repaired and I haven't even painted yet! I found no flaws in any of his work, and in fact it came out better than I could have imagined! I would recommend him in a heart beat!
Description of Work: I had 2 walls in a large room (with odd shapes and turns) drywalled and textured. In addition I had some bad texturing redone that I had attempted to do myself, and a damaged wall repaired and textured.

After Mark and I EMailed, he called promptly, when he said he would, to discuss the job. We discussed what I needed and he said it would be about $200. I agreed and he said he could be at my house the next day between 8-8:30. He arrived shortly before 8:00. He took a look at the work I needed and we agreed he would do it for $175. Mark's work was excellent. He kept the work area clean. The hole was securely braced and finished so the patch was invisible. I would definitely recommend Mark for drywall work to anyone.

Mark did a fabulous job. He called quickly to give me an estimate. He came when he said he would. His price was excellant. We had a tight schedule and he adjusted his work to fit us in over a holiday weekend. He even came early one day so he could complete his work before my other contractors arrived. I could not be happier. Patching is a long process to do it right...and he did it right. Even before the ceilings were painted it was impossible to tell where the old texture was and Marks new patches had been made. Now that the ceiling is painted you would never know we had any work done. He was always professional and very nice to work with. He was clean and took great care in our home to protect everything. I would highly recommend Mark again!

Mark was amazing....I received 3 estimates and his was the most cost-effective. He is a professional when it comes to drywall, so I felt comfortable going with him. I emailed him a photo of the wall in need of repair, and he responded back with an estimate a day later. He then showed up at my house on Monday (one day after he gave me the estimate). He finished the job in a timley fashion and was VERY professional and nice. I was super-impressed with the work he did. You cannot even tell there was a hole there. I would hire Mark again for his professionalism, friendly demeanor, and skill. I highly recommend Mark to anyone on Angie's List who needs drywall repair and/or painting.

It took about three days and Mark did a great job. He was very courteous and really did a good job of keeping the dust to a minimum as we asked him to. The texture matched the existing texture in the rest of the house. I would highly recommend him and use him again for future drywall needs.
Description of Work: Mark drywalled and textured one wall that had a door and windows, one side of the wall was on a second floor, so it was a bit more challenging to do.

We couldn't be more pleased with his work. At the end of the day he vacuumed and he is very neat in his work. Even his truck is clean and neat. It took about 2 1/2 weeks. He was punctual every day and most pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends.
Description of Work: First because we had wallpaper removed, he mudded walls in the entry hall, upstairs and downstairs hallways + staircase wall [needed scaffolding to reach], textured and painted all those walls [2 coats]. Then he painted the family room and kitchen including windows, french doors, baseboards, door frames and spindles in banister.
