Sump failed as a result drywall and baseboards were water damaged. Rolled insulation was replaced with foam-board insulation. My crew replaced drywall with glass-mat sheathing and we also painted this project. Drywall joints were flared and we applied extra strength joint tapes on all joints. More mold was found on ceiling directly above from upstairs bathroom and that also was replaced. Trim and doors were done with PPG Manor Hall and walls with B. Moore Ultra-Spec. Finally grout lines were scrubbed clean and sealed.

Gustavo was absolutely GREAT and AMAZING !! He was very professional and did an amazing job with water damage remediation and all of the drywall installation and insulation and painting. He worked closely with me on identifying causes of water leaks and suggested different options to remedy the water damage in the most efficient and cost effective way. He was always meticulous and paid close attention to all the small details and addressed them very efficiently. He was always on time and finished the project on planned schedule and even helped with the insurance adjuster. I STRONGLY recommend Gustavo for any type of drywall, paint or water damage remediation project. He is a kind, trustworthy and professional at his work and relationship and he will do the job right with the most efficient & fair cost/expense

Thanks for the review and for waiting on us to get to our 3rd project at your residence. We’re also very happy to be able to again assist in getting your place to optimal conditions. The areas where water damage occurred are unexpected and like you said covered by someone before but now with the Dens-shield mold will never appear again. Thanks for the coffee too!

We contracted with Element Drywall & Painting to prep for and install a soundproof wall that upon completion would divide an existing bedroom into two new in-home offices. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations. Gustavos Banales and his team went beyond contract specifications to make sure we were fully satisfied with the work. Very competent, conscientious, and trustworthy. Highly, highly recommended. Before the work began all furniture was covered with sliders, masking tape, plastic runners, and laundered drop cloths. Thick paper runways were rolled out from our front door to the work areas. Additionally, a filtration negative air machine utilizing a HEPA-activated carbon filter kept the dust in the apartment down and the air clean. Prep work done, the team framed the 10 ft wide by nine foot high divisional wall using a metal frame and studs. The team installed a resilient channel to reduce any sound intrusion to the other side of the wall and reinforced that with soundproof batting. Intstallation of expertly cut and mudded drywall was next, and a precise channel was cut around the doorways to further reduce any sound intrusion. We choose where we wanted several electrical outlets to be located in the wall, each of which was then sealed with acoustical putty pads. A TV bracket was attached on the wall. On top of that, designed-from-scratch matching wainscotting and baseboards were added. Finally, an expert coat of primer and paint was applied. The project attained a level-five finish. The team also primed and painted a separate wall that needed attention in the apartment. And at no extra charge the team fixed work by another contractor that was substandard. I would be happy to give a personal recommendation and answer any questions you may have about Element Drywall & Painting. Gustavos Banales knows how to get in touch with me.

People walk into my house and comment how everything looks new again. Gustavo and his team showed up every day Monday thru Friday and put in a full day of work. He has a high standard for how to plaster and repair or replace trim. I highly recommend Element and Drywall.

Amazing! If you ever need help with an industrial style condo, this is the team for you~ I cannot stress enough the work that Gustavo and his team put into this arduous task. Any other contractor I went to told me either it was out of their scope or took >2 weeks Gustavo handed over the project which included: Ceiling correction and paint (took about 3-4 coats) and painting the pipes and Air duct pipe black. These ceilings were 10 foot 10 inches high and with such effort, they got the job done so beautifully and took into every feedback I had and delivered over and beyond. Very professional, friendly, and accountable. Would definitely recommend

It was a difficult yet awesome task/experience. We humbly accept the cool review. Also, I thank God for the blessings in what he allows my team and I to journey in learning and fulfilling (Phil 4:13). The initial vision of a smooth plaster-like level-5 finish was accomplished and we tried to keep dust to a minimum with an airscrubber. As a result we referred to new potential clients in same high rise building.

Gustavo did a spectacular job repairing my plaster walls and skim-coating the existing acrylic mortar. Great attention to detail, went above and beyond to make sure each room he worked in was finished to a very high degree when he wrapped up. Also kept the workspace clean and separated from the rest of the house. Very professional, great work. I had this team back to do a similar job on a bathroom and they were amazing! Quick, clean work, very well done, with a great eye for detail.

Working with Gus was a great experience. He met with us multiple times before starting the work to review our project and offer suggestions. When Gus started on site, he made corrections to our framing and worked meticulously through the install to make sure the drywall was perfect. We're extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend Element.

Gustavo was fantastic! He responded quickly to my request for an estimate, was very thorough in his assessment, and made a bid that was several hundred dollars below others. He scheduled and completed the work in a timely and efficient manner Some unexpected items came up that were not included in the original estimate, and he communicated with me and made a reasonable adjustment to the price. The finished work looked great, better than I expected actually. Would definitely consider him for future projects Highly recommend.

Gus was very responsive throughout the entire project. He sent text/picture updates of his work and let me know how things were going every step of the way. He was professional, thoughtful, and easy to work with. He left things neat and tidy each day before he left. On the last day, everything was cleaned to perfection. You can't even tell that there were ever holes in the wall - his work is impeccable! His prices were reasonable and he even repainted my entire hallway FREE OF CHARGE because he wanted everything to look perfect. His attention to detail is spot on and I look forward to hiring him again for projects down the road. You will not be disappointed with Gus and his team!

We hired Dorian and his team to install drywall in our hallway. From start to finish, he was professional and performed high-quality work. He walked me through his approach for sound proofing the ceiling and explained all the materials used. Before starting the work, he set up dust containment zones and was thoughtful in making the work area safe for our children who were in the house. There are no seams on the walls, ceiling, or corner joints. He had good communication on his hours from start to finish and walked me through what he was going to accomplish each day. I would hire him again for other projects and enjoyed working with him.
