"Talking a big game? Invests little time? Skimp and complain? Big tactic? Got heated? Pushed wife? I was lucky to get paid and I'am not in jail! In my defense, This customer wanted everything for free and was not happy when not receiving. After sheetrocker installed rock first question from customer was did they do a bad job and could i fix it (In our business this is considered a red flag) Customer was controlling from beginning to end and wouldn't know a good job from bad. I charged $500 to paint using a flat latex, (Price included paint.) Customer wanted to use a satin finish on walls and ceilings (ceilings being smooth no texture) Please research gloss paint on smooth ceilings and you will find that doing this will result in flashing. Customers expectations unfortunately were not met. Customer flips houses for a living and had his paint Rep from Sherwin Williams to look at the project. Rep conclusion confirmed what i was saying about flashing using a gloss paint on smooth ceilings and complemented me on a taping job well done. (I have contact information for Rep if interested in talking to him, A list won't let me use here) As far as arguing over add on', I don't work for free. Please consider all reviews before passing Judgement. Thank you."
Based on the timeliness from estimate to completion and the overall cost of the work performed we are happy with the result. There were only a few small items in regards to quality that was a little bothersome, but nothing I couldn't take care of myself. That being said, we were not all that picky as we are just giving the basement a face lift and not a full blown overhaul and this was expressed to Craig so this may have played a part in his pricing and final product. Also, the area that received most of the work was the upper walls and ceiling of the stairwell. The issues were only really magnified while shining a flood light on the walls/ceiling.
I had he sheetrock delivered into the garage from Menards. I had some friends come over and move it to the basement (pizza and beer helps get them over to help). I started hanging the drywall and soon found out that hanging drywall is NOT for me. My wife convinced me to get some quotes.
Zimpel Drywall came back with a competitive quote and had just finished a project, so they were ready to work, right now.
Craig had his drywall hangers come in the next day. Three guys hung 93 sheets in 9 hours. The busted their butts and were very courteous, considerate and professional. They asked where I wanted the scrap material. I told them to put it in the garage for now. They recommended I lay down a tarp to keep the mess contained (good call). The guys also suggested to shut off the furnace while they were working to keep the dust from getting everywhere in the house.
Craig started the tape and mud on a Monday and was finished with everything the following Monday (and that was on the same week as the Christmas Holiday). In a week (with a holiday) he put all the cornerbead up, tape and mud the screws and seams at least twice, sanded, put knockdown on the ceiling and primed everything! Craig took care to contain the mess when sanding. He again suggested we shut off the furnace and he taped the seams shut on the basement door.
The basement looks awesome! Craig did one heck of a job. The drywall job in the basement looks better than what the builder slapped together when the house was built.
The ceilings turned out awesome and Craig repaired spots of texture that came off the ceiling when he sprayed the first coat of paint due to dust on the ceiling from the homeowner (me) having scraped off the original popcorn ceiling. If I would have chose instead to due the painting myself, he would have had to come back out to fix it at a later date.
I would certainly use Zimpel Drywall again for future drywall/ceiling projects without question and will refer anyone that needs Craig's services.
A+ Experience!
Craig was very responsive and knows his profession.
