Founded 2005 • With Angi since April 2006
McCloskey Drywall Inc is a family owned, local drywall contracting business and has had continued growth since 2005. My name is Matt McCloskey and I was born and raised in Minneapolis. I found early in life while working in the union on large commercial projects that drywall was a good career. I rapidly became a journeyman drywall finisher during the economic boom and went on to learn the plastering and stucco trade to add to my skills. While the recession caused the union to run out of work and large commercial projects, I found that people were still remodeling their homes and needed drywall help. I started McCloskey Drywall with just the tools in my truck and slowly hired help as I needed. I have always hired and kept employees that I know personally or have been referred from a close associate. I am always eager to help out with my client's needs and at the end of the day all I truly care about is making sure people are happy. Hopefully karma will pay off one day, but for now I just want to be surrounded by good people, satisfied customers and happy employees. *Fastest way to schedule a free estimate is to call 612-770-2153 directly. PLEASE call us for the fastest service* If you do choose to use the Angie's List message center or email please provide me with your timetable, project description, and the city. Minimum project price of $1500.

All went very well. Matt and Eric were very professional, punctual and willing to fit my job in quickly as per my request. The job was done well, on-time, and met the quoted price. Not much more could have been asked and I will happily hire them again in the future. Great work!

Matt's crew was absolutely amazing. From day one when the guys showed up to haul the sheetrock down to our lower level to the final day of sanding, these guys were on time and worked hard all day. I was so impressed with how each stage of the project was completed so quickly and professionally. I have and will continue to recommend this company to all of my friends, family and neighbors. We are very grateful for the work Matt and his crew did for us.

Work was fantastic! Everything from initial project scope to clean-up was professional. Each team member performed their job with skill and pride. Cabo and Jesus were the hangers; Tom was the taper; project manager was Matt Schmidt.

Matt was wonderful to work with and his crew was responsive to questions and concerns throughout the process. The bid was competitive with other companies in our area. The only feedback I could leave is having a confirmation email with our scheduled start date which would outline each day's anticipated tasks. When I asked about this it following day one (hanging) it was quickly provided but it would have been nice to have right up front for our personal family scheduling purposes.

Every person I encountered was great! From the initial sales/quote visit, to the sheet rockers, to the awesome mud and finisher, Tom! I was always happy to see his smiling face and he was back immediately to repair flaws that were discovered after the first coat of primer! Great service! Respectful, friendly, and everyone worked hard to complete the work in time for me to paint and meet my cabinet installation date! My new kitchen is beautiful! Thank you! I will post pictures upon completion of the project!

They came and gave me a bid of 3,200 and then he said he made a mistake and it would cost 3,800.I have a neighbor that does it for a living and he would do it for 2,700 including texture the ceiling.you gave me other numbers to call and nobody even has the decency to even call back.if this the way you treat customers maybe you should think about going out of businesses. Never going to use your service again.

Matt and his crew were very impressive, extremely professional and great to work with. They were able to get to our project very quickly. We appreciate their attention to detail and how they thoroughly prepped the area to keep the rest of the house clean throughout the project. Our house is over 75 years old and comes with plenty of imperfections. They did an excellent job compensating and tying the drywall into existing structure seamlessly. Their price was very fair for the quality of work they did. We will definitely call then for our next project.

Matt was very professional and prompt. He worked with us on our tight schedule. Everyone on his team was polite, never complained to me when they hit a snag, and I enjoyed having them around. They carefully protected all the floors and carpet and cleaned up daily. Some large doorways were closed in and you cannot tell there were any repairs made. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

We use McCloskey Drywall, Inc. whenever we need drywall installed. We are very impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. We don't even bother to get quotes from other contractors as we are super pleased with their work. They may not be the cheapest but they definitely do quality work (and they aren't the most expensive either). They show up on time and are super reliable. We just renovated our family room off our kitchen and they had to tie in with existing knockdown texture. They did an amazing job - looks like it was done at the same time. Super professional!

This is the second time I had this company do work for me. The first time was the removal of popcorn ceiling. The job was well done, one of our favorite home improvements we have made to our house. This last time was fixing water damaged walls in our basement. It was a big job, they came when they said they would and finished in a timely fashion. I would highly reccommend this company.

This is the second time we have used McCloskey Drywall. This time they did a great job of installing new sheet rock, tape and sanding smooth for our master bathroom. They were the lowest bid we received and were able to fit us in quickly. We would definitely recommend McCloskey Drywall to anyone needing Drywall work.

Great! The plaster ceiling in our kitchen and hallway was badly cracked. McClosky removed the cracked plaster and installed sheetrock over the ceiling. It took three days from start to finish. Reasonable cost, great work, very professional.

Contacting Matt McCloskey was easy and he came over to write up a proposal. His workers were prompt and attentive to my needs for the projects I had going on. Their work is excellent and I am very happy with the results. I was surprised with how little dust there was in my house after the work was done. If I have anymore drywall projects I will contact Matt to do the work.

They did not have the cheapest estimate from companies I contacted, but it was the most detailed, which showed me they looked at all of the elements of work we would need, including wrapping around ductwork. They also could get it done fast, as we were under a tight timeline on our basement remodel project. They pointed out things we had not considered which made for a much better looking project than what our original plan was. They protected barnwood and rock wall that were staying in place and did a great job installing a ceiling up to an uneven rock wall. Our project was not easy and we were relieved to hire it out instead of trying to do it ourselves. Even with a snow day due to bad weather delaying the delivery, they got it done on time, cleanly, and with no impact to the rest of our household. There was no dust upstairs to impact us either. Staff were professional and friendly.
