Drywall Day: Let me tell you - the insulation guys tore up my bathroom. Their cuts were jagged, they had spray foam everywhere, they stapled plastic into every wall, and I felt terrible for the drywall people who had to put it back together. Ken sent two men to repair the drywall. They were quiet guys, but extremely respectful of my home and very professional. They replaced over 50 square feet of drywall that was sloped up to a ten foot ceiling. They even did some minor repair to the walls/window sill to prepare it for painting the following week. Their taping and skill with replacing the drywall put me at ease immediately that I made the right decision in choosing Ken for this job. These guys were really top notch.
Painting Day: Ken let me know ahead of time that drywall and painting would be about a week apart. I was completely fine with this and I really appreciated him letting me know proactively about the scheduling. His excellent communication allowed me to have reasonable expectations of what to expect for scheduling and timing of the job. Painting went smoothly. Ken is punctual, polite, funny, and most importantly - he is very skilled! This is not exactly a tiny bathroom and it has a lot of obstacles like
two large vanities, a shower, a jaccuzi tub, mirrors, etc. He painted the ceilings in the bathroom, water closet, and hallway. While the ceiling dried Ken prepped the walls. Ken was a true professional working with speed, efficiency, and a great attention to detail. The lines where the wall meet the ceiling were sharp and not wavy. I really dislike when I walk into a room and look up and you can see where an unsteady hand made wavy paint lines into the white of the ceiling - Ken's lines were crisp and just as I would expect them to be when paying a professional to do the job. Once the paint was up on the ceiling and walls it was also clear what an outstanding job the drywall guys did as well. You could not see a drywall seam - it is flawless.
I recommend Ken for any painting and drywall needs. He himself is a true professional and obviously takes great pride in his work. Based on my experience with his drywall team, he only hires the best to work alongside him. I already requested to be added to his schedule to paint our nursery and put up a chair rail (preliminary quote is between $500-600 for that job INCLUDING paint and chair rail). Ken also does remodeling - I really look forward to using him for several tile jobs, vanity replacements, back-splash, etc in the future.
They did a fantastic job smoothing out and repairing the damage to the walls and ceiling. If you need plaster work done, be sure to ask for Martin. He gets down to the root of the problem and repairs the damage so well that it looks like new.
We're very pleased with the finished product. Our ceiling looks brand new and once more is crack free. We were very impressed with the measures taken to prevent tracking any mess to the rest of the house, how efficiently and professionally the work was performed and how clean my bathroom was left after the work was completed.
The first person who came out to do the estimate did not include the floor damage. After the drywall was repaired & the next repairman came out, he realized the extent of the floor damage & the plumbing repairs that would be necessary. The owner Ken came out & apologized & noted that they would have to cut into the repaired drywall so the plumbers could correct the problem from below. There would be no charge for repairing the drywall again. We arranged another date for the plumber & the drywall technician and eventually everything was repaired to our satisfaction. I felt that the cost of $825.00 was very reasonable considering that two plumbers came out along with the drywall repair people.
