Great response for not a big job of repairing a 2×2 hole, some patches and installing baseboard. Repairs and patches were done quickly and cleanly, was able to accommodate my changes to the baseboards and installed new trim matching the old trim perfectly.

I have done a lot of research into soundproofing and had a quite a few contractors stop by for an evaluation and a quote over the past couple years, and Robert stood out with his friendly demeanor, level of knowledge, and being easy to talk to; he seemed to have good experience in soundproofing and actually knew soundproofing concepts I'd read up on earlier (surprisingly many other drywall contractors were either evasive in rating their confidence in their proposed projects or simply did not have good plans or knowledge of options). He worked with me on a plan to redo a wall separating my bedroom from noisy neighbors, and the result is excellent! Robert and his team have turned a single stud wall into a decoupled double stud wall, with all the right elements for soundproofing, such as quality insulation, acoustic caulk and dampening compound (both by Green Glue), socket putty, etc. Robert's choice of materials was well informed, and the quality of his work was very good, neat, and precise. I could tell he enjoys doing his work well. He cleaned up after the job was done, and the new wall was perfectly plastered--all I had left to do was to paint (which I enjoy doing myself). The total expense was very reasonable for the cost of materials and labor. I also appreciated that Robert always kept me up-to-date on his schedule and coordinated his visits--great communication. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the experience and glad that I found Robert and his team! I can heartily recommend his services for your drywall and related projects! I'd like to also note for general reference that soundproofing is a global project: learn the weak areas where the sound travels--it's frequently not just your walls, but also through your floors and through your ceilings, including from neighbors on the same floor as you! You may think that just fixing one area will solve everything, but sound wave propagation needs to be considered from all directions/sources, and week areas need to be identified: e.g. you may need to redo your wall and your floor, for example, or your wall and your ceiling, or all 3 at once, depending on your exact needs and situation.

Robert repaired bathroom ceiling (popcorn ceiling w/cracks), cracks on walls, 9x5 foot bathroom in Boston condo. He showed up exactly on time for estimate and on work days. He installed blueboard on ceiling and replastered ceiling, walls, and painted entire bathroom (ceiling, walls, window and door). He worked with a very professional plasterer. It took half a day to sheetrock/plaster and another day to paint. The project was completed better than I expected. Robert is very professional, polite, trustworthy. Cleaned up after themselves. I�m very happy with the results and reasonable cost. I would highly recommend Robert Delaney.

Mr Delaney did a good job. He was friendly, professional and did the work. He charged by the hour which is something I don't think I would do again because you can never tell how long a job will take and if you are on a budget you don't want any surprises.

Mr. Delaney showed up on time, did an excellent job of fixing a vinyl window that I thought would have to be replaced, thus saving me a lot of money; installing a kitchen cabinet; installing a new bell which I paid for, but he went and purchased at no extra charge. He did all of this in the time and dollar estimate that he quoted. He did an excellent job and was very professsional and pleasant. I will definitely hire him again.

Robert installed a ceiling below my current ceiling for soundproofing reasons. He is excellent to work with, very knowledgeable, clear and clean. He installed the ceiling in one day and cleaned up everything after. He's very easy to communicate with and walks you through every step of the process. I'm having him install a second ceiling in a different room because he made the process painless. Probably the best contractor I've worked with to date.

Robert Delaney is responsive, fairly priced, very competent and reliable. He did the job on time with a minimum of clean up. The quality of his work is excellent.

Robert was terrific. He arrived promptly at 8:00am. He had all the tools he needed for the various projects. I asked him to do a few more that we had not discussed earlier and he was very willing to do those as well. I thought he was great, I would hire him again.

Rob Delaney came to look over the job of soundproofing my bedroom ceiling and talk about what type noise problem I was trying to eliminate. I live in a condo in a converted 120 year old house. The room above my bedroom has a high pitched squeak from the wood floors and I would be awoken every night when owner got home from her night job. Evidently this is a common problem with old wood floors. Rob went above and beyond when he realized that my ceiling was also bouncing (can�’t think of a better way to describe it) in that area every time the floor above was walked on and creating this high pitch squeak. So, before installing the addition
