They cleaned everything and took everything away. They were on the stilts; and they scrapped and that was a messy wet heavy job. They did a great job on clean up. My condo is on the second floor with no elevator. Any contractor doing stuff there would have to haul it all down. They kept good communication with me and did the job in the time frame that they said they would. They gave me the lead time and called; and I needed to come back, get the key and pay them.

Bill is a first class contractor.  Pleasant to deal with and forthright in his business practice.  Bill has an employee, Dean, who has a great work ethic and a personality to go with it.  Between the two, my project went perfectly with no hitches.  A few additional items that Bill agreed to do were:  Install a folding stairway and stucco the joint between the block walls and the new drywall ceiling.  There is a new 3 1/2 inch board on the market that is certified for both ceiling and walls and Bill requested it's use.  I preferred the use of a board rated for ceilings and that was the end of that discussion.  Bill went on and found the requested ceiling board without a complaint.When the work was done the job site was cleaned.  No complaints, no hassle  good contractor.  Good job to you, Dean.

Bill is very professional and wonderful to work with. 

I have a bathroom that was wallpapered by the builder and did not have texture under the wallpaper. We removed the wallpaper and Bill and Dean(I believe that was his name) came out to do the job. Dean repaired the walls before applying the texture. The walls were so smooth and perfect when he was done that we could have just left them smooth if we wanted to.

I was very particular about how I wanted the texture to look, so they did a couple test spots so I could give them feedback. I thought they were all too heavy. Bill advised me that if we went too light I probably would not be happy, and he told me that the texture shrinks a lot when it dries. Against Bill's recommendation, I had them texture the room lightly. When they were done, he told me that if I had any questions I should call him.

The next day when the texture was completely dry, I did not like it at all. It did not match my house and looked a bit like paint splatter. I called Bill and left him a message. I did not expect him to call me back because they did exactly as I asked and they were already paid for the job. I was wrong. Bill returned my call in less than 5 minutes. The first thing he said to me was "It's too light, isn't it?" The second thing he said was "what's your schedule like tomorrow?" I did not even have to ask him to respray because he offered to do so before I had the chance.

The second time they sprayed the texture I did not even look at it until it was done. It looked very heavy to me but we decided to wait and see what it looked like the next day. Once the texture was dry it was exactly what I wanted and it matched the rest of my house, just as Bill said it would. Through all of this, Bill always had a great attitude and a smile on his face. I would recommend Bill to anyone and would use him again for future projects.

Punctual, very thorough, covered everything. Cleaned after themselves, Very fair price, Friendly. Came a second time to reair an item I had forgotten to point out and did not charge extra.

Very professional, meticulous worker.

See above.

The job from start to finish was painless, thanks to Bill.  We have remodeled 7 other homes and know good contractors when we see them and their work, Bill is definitely in the class with the best and he will be returning in January to do some work for us when we remodel the master bath. 

Overall the work they did was satisfactory, but the multiple delays, missed deadlines, and issues trying to reach the project manager each time something came up were very frustrating.

The work requested was to repair some holes that had to be cut into the drywall to repair pipes that had a leak.  The holes were in difficult places and not very big.  Still, the work was done over a 5 1/2 hour period and done well.  No rushing to get the job done and get out, they took their time and did it right.  The biggest compliment I can give is that even my wife liked their work.

Mr. Livingston responded quickly to our call and arrived as scheduled to review the situation.  He is very meticulous in seeing that the work is done correctly.  They did an excellent job.  They protected the other rooms extremely well and cleaned up thoroughly
each day.

I've called three stucco companies so far. This one did nothing. Never called back, never came out to do the estimate, and never seemed to care. Not a good way to grow your business.

Quite a bit of our garage ceiling fell along with , what seemed like, a ton of cellulose insulation .  We called Bill Livingston and left a message.  He returned our call promptly and came out to give a quote the same day.  We accepted his quote and he started the work two days later.  Our old ceiling does not meet the current code.  It was built 31 years ago and I am surprised the ceiling has lasted this long.  Bill replaced the part of the ceiling that fell with the correct sheet rock and screws.  He also replaced the missing insulation with batt insulation.  He finished the project in one day and left the area very clean.  He also put Kilz on spots of the remaining ceiling.  He and his employees were courteous and very knowledgeable.  They did an amazing job.  We would definitely hire him again.

Bill and his partner Ed were just exceptional.  This started out as a simple, small job to repair a portion of ceiling where we had removed a hanging cabinet in the kitchen and to replace a piece of drywall that was damaged by termites in the adjacent breakfast room in time for a major family party we were throwing in one week.  Unfortunately, we discovered that the entire wall holding our bay window in the breakfast area was rotten through and through, we were leaking water inside the wall that we did not know about, and we had an active termite infestation.  In 5 days they had completely removed the rotten wall, reframed it, installed a new window, drywalled it, removed the old popcorn ceiling and added the textured ceiling for both rooms, repaired another section of damaged ceiling and wall, arranged for stucco on the new exterior portion of the wall, and arranged for the painting to be done inside.  It looked like it would be a disaster but it ended up being a beautiful (practically new) room.  And the price was exceptionally good as well.  I plan to use him again for the next round of ceiling and wall repairs.

The crew arrived on time and did a wonderful job of cutting out the old drywall, installing a new piece, taping the joints, covering them with mud, and respraying.  They even included respraying two adjacent areas which were discolored for no extra charge.  They went to exceptional lengths to cover all areas so as not to be affected by the spray and, as usual, their cleanup was superb.  Would not hesitate to use them again.

Bill visited our home to inspect and provide a quote.  The quote was e-mailed to us the next day and the job was started in less than a week after receiving the quote.  No sub contractors were used, which was a big selling point for me.   They were very thorough to determine what caused the crack and fixed each area appropriately.   A lot of effort was put into the job to match the textures of the ceiling and drywall exactly - no one would ever know where the cracks were or that any work was done.  Many areas look better than the builders left it!  It was very obvious that they were very experienced.  They were very pleasant to work with, too.

I was very alarmed when I  moved a cabinet in our garage from against the wall and found the bottom portion of the wall covered in mold and mildew. (We even had mushrooms growing!) I called a couple of companies not associated with Angies List and also called Mr. Bill Livingston who is on Angie's List.  He was very prompt, thorough, and VERY competitive in price charged.  He explained very well what needed to be done to remove the mold and mildew and what I needed to do to keep the mold from coming back. I will definately be calling on Mr. Livingston again and recommend him to our neighbors and friends.

My initial contact with Bill was pleasant and he showed up exactly when he said he would. Shortly after supplying an estimate he was chosen to perform the work. He arrived on time and the quality of his work was excellent. He takes great pride in his work and I think my kitchen was cleaner after he left then when he started. Bill is a true professional. I would definitely use Bill for any future drywall work and highly recommend him.

We had upgraded our alarm system and relocated our keypad higher up on our wall leaving us with approximately an 81/2 x 11 inch hole in our laundry room. When Mr. Livingston came to give us an estimate he was a little concerned about fixing the drywall considering he had an area of only about 6 inches to work around since we could not move the washing machine. Since our house is 30 years old we also had a few minor cracks and repairs we had him looked at. When we set up a time for him to come back and make the repairs, in all the years we have had workmen at our house, Mr. Livingston was the first to every thank "us" for hiring him. Originally he thought the job would take 2 days, but we were fortunate that he brought an assistant cutting the time back to one day. The drywall where the keypad had been turned out amazing, in addition to fixing a bubble in the bedroom and other repairs. The work was completed in a day and done beautifully. Not only was the work exceptional but Mr. Livingston is also good about cleaning up after the work is complete. He also showed my husband how to do some minor repairs himself which was greatly appreciated. We would use Mr. Livingston again without hesitation.

I have used Bill before to remove popcorn ceilings and retexture with knockdown and he did a wonderful job, so I called him to apply texture to the walls in a small bathroom I was remodeling. I had removed the wallpaper and the walls were smooth, so the texture prepared them for paint and hid small imperfections. He did a beautiful job and the texture is uniform throughout the 5' X 5' bath. He is a perfectionist who does an amazing job and always stands by his estimate.

I used them once before. His quality of work stands out. He is probably more conscientious about quality than the customer is. He found things that I didn't find. He is very, very quality aware. He did a good job.

Bill promptly returned our initial phone call and came to our house at the scheduled time. He assessed the extent of the repair and gave us an estimate. The next day, he returned, as scheduled, with all supplies and completed the work within the span of several hours. He was neat in his work and cleaned-up after the work was done. We were happy to have found Bill's name on Angie's List when we first began looking for someone who could do plastering. We are very happy with his work and do not hesitate to recommend him to others.

He went above and beyond. He took a chip that had broken away and matched it directly at home depot and then painted over it for me and did not increase his price. He didn't even charge me for the paint. He came on time and was very courtesy. He brought everything he needed himself.

I would recommend Bill and his workmanship to anyone who needs help. He is extremely fussy about doing a good job and doing the right thing, and he is very pleasant and polite - easy to have him in the house. The drywall job was accomplished to a smoothness where the patch he placed will not show. The popcorn ceiling repair was quite tricky because the ceiling around the old-light-fixture area had been repainted in the past and the difference was very dramatic. He worked carefully with his tools and materials to create a repair which is hardly visible, unless you were actually looking for it. He had been skeptical about his ability to make such a good match, but the end result is so good that his disclaimer just melted away. He was very particular about cleaning up every speck of drywall dust and ensuring that I was satisfied with everything. He arrived right on time, which was important to me. Prior to the day of work, he was very flexible and willing to work with me on my schedule, which was also important to me. I will definitely call Bill the next time I need any drywall or popcorn-ceiling work.

Meticulous, professional and passionate artistry describes the service that Bill delivered. From a day long prep phase where he carefully taped, masked, sanded and feathered, through the two days of texturing, and finalizing with a day long inspection and cleanup, Bill epitomized the ideal that all Florida contractors should be held up to. My past experiences with other contractors had left me hesitant, but Bill lived up to all the accolades he received. In fact, when I asked him to leave the spotted paper on the floor and around a custom wood beam to make my painting easier, you could see the pain on his face that he couldn't complete his work 100%, even though I was more than pleased. His texturing technique was minimalistic, choosing instead to finesse the texture needed instead of simply blowing it up there in order to get the job done. This artistry truly set Bill apart, while his pricing was competitive with other quotes I had received. I will have Bill back for another job in the future.

The ceiling repair and repainting went smoothly although Bill didn't under stand exactly how much of the discolored ceiling I wanted repainted but when he did understand, he rented an extra tall ladder to accommodate what need to be done. When he got to the wall repair, he found that the drywall was not in sound shape and thought a little bit should be cut out. After opening up the wall, he found mold so cut an even larger piece of drywall out to eliminate the new problem and treated the insulation in the wall before putting everything back together. Both the ceiling and the wall look better than ever, I can't tell that there ever was a problem. I would have expected a larger bill than estimated because of the extra work and the ladder rental but Bill stuck by his original estimate and didn't charge me anything more. Bill is an extremely nice person to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing any kind of repair work done.
