Very well. Tom was responsive, professional, and, with his son Ryan, did an excellent job. Both Tom and Ryan were pleasant and respectful. They worked steady for the whole 8-9 hours, the first half dedicated to moving out the smaller furniture and taping up plastic for protection. This after they drove about and hour and a half to get there. The ceilings turned out great, with just the right texturing and patching. I never realized what a huge difference removing the "popcorn" would make, it was definitely worth it. And it was definitely worth using them. When they left all the furniture was moved back and our house was spotless. They went the extra step. I would not hesitate to use their services again.

Tom did an excellent job on removing an outdated popcorn ceiling and adding new texturing and paint. The home was occupied and he did the work without having to remove furniture which was required by another contractor I spoke to. The price was very reasonable and the work was outstanding. When I asked him to come back and add some additional texturing to one area in the entry way he came back and redid the entire area. Tom was prompt and cleaned up and vacuumed at the end of each day. He was very pleasant person to work with and I would highly recommend him.

Tom was punctual and immediately set down plastic wrap and tape around various places in the home and along the walkways to keep dust and "mud" from creating a mess. His demeanor was friendly, he explained in detail what he was trying to accomplish, and worked hard to accomplish his goals. I was stoked by the work he completed and will certainly hire him for other jobs.

Tom and Fernando did a very good job, were punctual and very considerate of my family . Tom was very communicative regarding all work being done and let us know what was being done at all times. I was homebound during most of the job and Tom and his crew never made me feel like I was in the way even though I was. :) Also went above and beyond in taking care of things that he wasn't responsible for but just did it because it needed to be done- .ie a new light fixture , patching that was noticed later and also painted kitchen ceiling that another contractor didn't do and shouldve. Just all around nice people.

I hired Tom to repair my guest suite after having had experienced an excellent repair service from him in another area of my house.

Some of the guest suite walls and woodwork were partially gutted from water and mold damage from the HOA flood. Tom reconstructed them almost back to their original condition. 

Tom proved to be fair, prompt, reasonable in price, creative, honest and trustworthy; paying attention to detail advising me on paint textures and colors as well to save costs and improve aesthetics in paint textures etc.

He arrived when he said he would, he protected my property from further damage, worked diligently and efficiently to get the job done in a timely manner and cleaned up so well that I would have not known he was there if I had not been present in the adjacent main house.

Tom also helped me with a few suggestions and other minor issues I had around the house.

I will be consulting Tom in the future to ask for advice and references to repair the remaining damages to the guest suite:

The floor replacement, replace the damaged weep screed, clean-up the mold and paint the outside guest

suite stucco walls, as well as repair the damaged block retaining walls resulted from the same HOA flood.

I am very meticulous (I spot every little detail) so as you can imagine, Tom had his work cut out for him to please me....and indeed he did!
Tom was very honest, professional, efficient, courteous, and reasonable in price. He is punctual and doesn't waste your time.
What I especially like about Tom is that he doesn't try to exaggerate the bid to sell you more than you need. If there is a shorter fix, he will tell you so and give you a fair bid.
I liked his work so much, I hired him for another job in my home as well. I would definitely hire Tom again as well as recommend him to friends and neighbors.

Tom proved to very disappointing. He and his workers did a terrible job cutting and painting the baseboards. We were stunned how sloppy the job and how their appeared to be no cleanup. The house was a mess. When Tom agreed to come back and fix the problems, he did....NOTHING! Rather, he pulled off our tape that showed defects and left his defective work. Tom did not return until
his partner inspected the work and demanded that he return. The pictures show Tom's work after he "corrected" his errors.

"Good Morning [member name removed], I am extremely sorry to hear about your experience. We take a lot of pride in customer satisfaction and have never had a situation in the past 20 years of doing business like this. I will make sure to discuss this with Tom when he returns to the office on Wednesday. He is working out of town until then. I see that this problem occurred a year and a half ago, I would have love to have been notified early so the situation could have been resolved in a timely matter. Have a great day, Brandi Esposito Drywall 800-710-8873 CSL#818040 Please message me a number you can be reached at."

I hired Tom to drywall the garage after excellent reviews on Angie's list. The drywall looked good but there were problems that he created:

-big clumps of stucco left on wires

-garage wall turned a yellow after only one coat of paint put on on

-solar power wires knocked out
Response from ESPOSITO DRYWALL-ACOUSTIC CEILING REMOVAL

"This post is very disheartening to our staff and we are not sure why [member name removed] is attacking our character and integrity after we completed work for him a year and a half ago. First, the work in the picture was not performed by our company. The baseboard were installed by a friend/neighbor of the customer. When he discussed the faulty baseboard with Tom, Tom told [member name removed] that the only way he could correct the problems with the baseboards was to tear them all out and have them re-installed. This was not something he wanted to do so he asked Tom to have his guys paint them and try to touch them up. After we touched up the baseboards [member name removed] refused to show up for a walk through of the job and said he was too busy. When he got home that night he asked Tom to come out again because he wasn't happy with how they turned out. Tom went back again and once again told [member name removed] that the problems he was seeing was due to the originally workmanship and installation done by another contractor. We proceeded to touch up any additional areas that fell under out contract. At that time we did a final walk through of the job with [member name removed] and his wife where they both said they were completely satisfied with the work performed. Our main focus for the past 20 years of business is to run a business with customer satisfaction as our number one priority. We place integrity above everything. We have not heard from [member name removed] for over a year and a half. This work was performed in January 2014. Esposito Drywall would like to apologize for a delay in addressing any further issues and would have definitely returned to discuss options with [member name removed] if we had been given the chance."

We initially had Tom paint all the ceilings in our 2400 sq ft home. Tom helped with advice on choosing the color, and while working took great care to ensure that everything was protected. He pays close attention to detail and the ceilings were done perfectly. We asked Tom to add interior walls to enclose an unused formal living room to make a media room. The end result is amazing. The walls are solid, the drywall and texture look perfect. He also took it upon himself to move an electrical outlet to a more desirable area. He is a wealth of information for advice on completing other projects.  I cannot say enough good things about Tom's professionalism. He delivers what he promises, providing an excellent product at a competitive price. We look forward to having him return to complete our painting.

The appointment was easy to schedule and Tom was very friendly over the phone. Tom and his crew were on time, they worked 2 days and after each day you would never know they were there. They are very clean and the work was done in the time estimated. The results are beautiful! I am very happy with the work, the price and Tom is awesome! I would have him do more work for me any time!

I joined Angies List to find the best company to remove popcorn off the ceiling and paint for my mom's new house. First I read the reviews then chose Esposito Drywall to give a quote and decided he would be the one to do the work. Tom is very professional, dependable and exceptionally personable, performing above average. Tom and his crew did an excellant job, finishing the work in a timely matter, working around our schedule he made it happen. My mom Jeanie and I highly recommend Tom Esposito Drywall to anyone looking for an honest, trusting drywaller. Call Tom to get the best prices and work performance, HE can be trusted to complete your job!!! Thanks Tom and Brandi

We had taken wallpaper down in a small bathroom and the walls were a mess with lots of residual adhesive and texture gone in big patches. We had one estimate that was twice as much as Esposito. He came out and looked at it. He thought about it for a while and told me what he planned to do based on the problem. We set a date and he showed up as promised. I was very impressed that he took great pains to put down plastic throughout the work area and along the path of travel to his truck. I had prepared the room by removing lights, medicine chest, towel bars, etc. Tom did the work himself and he did a good job. He was here for a few hours. He also gave me some tips for prepping the area for paint.

I was skeptical when Tom said this job would only take a couple of hours. Other drywallers had told me it was a full day job, a day and a half job, or even a two day job. Tom and his assistant arrived promptly at 8:15 AM and were completely done 5 hours later. (It would have taken less time if the weather was less humid) The end result looks great, and Tom advised me on how to paint it. Tom is a very friendly and respectful guy and takes pride in his work. We will definitely hire him again.

Tom Esposito Drywall by far exceeded our expectations. He really explained the process and recommended an asbestos test which no other company did. We got the asbestos test which came out negative which not only saved us money in the long run but it showed us he was knowledgable and looking out for any potential health concerns which is very important to us. Tom also gave the prices up front per foot and stuck to his quote. Even when the job got tough and there was more work than anticipated he still did not raise the cost. In addition Tom recommended a new ceiling fan and installed it for us for Free to make sure we were satisfied. Tom Esposito Drywall truly went above and beyond our expectations! To top it off the price was lower than all other quotes by $500 to $2000 dollars and his work was excellent quality. The finished product far exceeded our expectations! Thanks again Esposito Drywall!

Everything went very well from start to finish. Tom, the owner, was great to deal with. He was always on time, professional, and did a wonderful job. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I heard from many people what a mess it was to have the popcorn ceiling removed and that it goes everywhere and gets on everything but that wasn't the case with Esposito Drywall. Every wall, floor and piece of furniture is covered in plastic, very well. Once the popcorn is removed the ceiling is hand troweled and I appreciate the skill Tom has in doing that. Lastly the ceiling is painted. The ceiling turned out beautifully and I am very pleased. I would definitely recommend this company, they really know what they are doing and it shows in the finished product.

Tom Esposito worked with us directly to solve our un-even wall problem. This was our problem: we were trying to have a new countertop and backsplash installed during our kitchen remodel, but the wall was so un-straight that the backsplash could not be installed properly to fit flush against the wall. We called Tom Esposito to help with our walls. He was great!
Tom took the time to understand our issue and brainstormed different solutions with us. We discussed the pros and cons of each solution and made a decision. Tom executed on the decision, smoothed out the walls where needed and re-textured. He was very careful in his work and I appreciated how much effort he made to prep the work site, including putting plastic sheeting over anything that he did not need to work on.
He fixed our problem and was a real pleasure to work with. We felt lucky to have found him and will call him again the next time we need any drywall work.

I will definitely use Tom Esposito again in the future for the upstairs ceiling texture/painting, and perhaps even to re-texture all the orange peel walls in the house with a nice plaster-look finish. He always called to confirm appointment, was easy to reach by phone, was punctual, and when I noticed a little unevenness in the finish after completion, he gladly and promptly came back to make the finishing touches perfect. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and am very pleased. (Many contractors don't come back to "make things right" once they've been paid--this is NOT the case with Tom.) I can comfortably and confidently recommend Esposito Dry Wall.

Tom Esposito and his crew were prompt, professional, friendly "perfectionists" from beginning to end! They prepped the house thoroughly and their unique removal process helped keep the mess to a minimum. Tom's re-texture was absolutely perfect. The final result after the primer and paint was sheer perfection! Our ceilings look gorgeous and they left our house spotless when they were done! Tom Esposito brought our house up to date within three days!
