Quikpatch

We couldn't be more pleased! He did a FANTASTIC job! He was quick and the price was extremely reasonable! We would definitely have him do work again and highly recommend him to do other work. He actually charged us less than his original quote. It was a real blessing!

Good response. Good quality. Price seemed to match hours.

Job went well.

The gentleman arrived 45 minutes early, which I was pleasantly surprised.  He completed all the work in 3 hours and was very polite and professional the entire time.  I was quite surprised by the bid Dan had given me because I had received other offers that were much higher.  I am very pleased with the work and will definitely hire them again.

Wonderful.  Cost was the same as the estimate which was half of some other estimates.  Everyone was prompt and professional.  Work was scheduled just two working days after the estimate was done and the ceilings look great!

Everything went fine.   I covered the furniture with drop cloth and moved furniture out of the way for quick in and out repairs.  Drywall repairs are usually quick but require several trips to complete.  Afterward the walls were a little dusty.  I wiped them down and primed the patches.  Then painted the room the next day.

It went great. After they finished you could not tell that there had been any damage to the walls or ceiling.

I hired Quikpatch to repair the walls and re-texture the ceiling in a 15'x30' room with vaulted ceiling. The job included a 6'x7' closet and 7'x7' half-bath that needed new drywall. The main room had existing drywall that had been damaged (dents, dings, some holes where outlets had been moved) through neglect by the previous homeowners'.
Out of five bids Quikpatch's bid was above the middle of the price range. I worked primarily with Dan who stated he expected to be done in the three days before Thanksgiving. He conducted a visual inspection of the room prior to giving this estimate so there should have been no surprises.
The two days consisted of another employee sanding the existing texture off the ceiling. He arrived in the morning at 8:30 as scheduled. Wednesday they started mudding the ceiling. Friday I was out running errands and received a phone call around 1pm that they were outside my house waiting to continue working. This was unannounced and as work progressed it became increasingly clear communication would not be proactive. We returned to let them in the house and they worked for about an hour before leaving. This was inconvenient and unappreciated, though I did want the work finished as quickly as possible.
On Monday there was no sign of anyone from Quikpatch. That afternoon I called Dan and he said they had someone call in sick and they could get back to me on Friday - Dec 5. He again estimated that they were "almost done" and it should only be one more day of work, that being Friday. I knew this to be inaccurate because it would take at least one more day's work to finish mudding and sanding a different day afterwards. I told Dan there was more work to finish but he was confident they'd finish.
The delay during this week was probably for the best because of the considerable humidity added to this room with all the drywall and textured ceiling. There was a space heater in the room to aid drying, but unfortunately this may have compounded the problem. Even with a window open the condensation was so great that the joints in the ceiling swelled and became immediately visible. By Friday they had shrunk and are now only seen with a lamp pointed at the ceiling.
On Friday Dan arrived and started work on the walls for a full day. Monday Dec 8 was also a full work day. On Dec 9 Dan said the work was finished, my wife looked at the room and saw it was not completed as we had wanted, but Dan told her there was not really more he could do. Dan was paid on Tuesday but I did not have the time to closely inspect the room until late Wednesday night.
When I inspected the finished work I found numerous nails, staples, tacks, and even tape that had been left on the walls. Countless small push-pin holes were missed and some areas on the walls were worse than before work began. In one area it looks as though a ladder left a small but noticeable dent in some new wall at about knee height. Some joints between existing drywall sheets were not properly finished and cracked, visibly noticeable.
I was greatly disappointed at the lack of care and concern about the job in general, but incomplete work was unacceptable. I called Dan on Friday 12/12 and stated that I was dissatisfied with the incomplete work. He replied that he bid only to "touch up" the walls and these words are on the contract we signed. He countered stating to skim coat the walls would be another $2,200. I ignored this offer having already received competing bids for the entire room for less than Quikpatch's original bid. I further expressed my dissatisfaction with the work done on the ceiling. He offered to come look at the room on Monday 12/15. He did not show up and he did not call.
Several other points worth mentioning before my conclusion include:
- Overall Cleanliness: They lay down plastic sheeting to aid in cleaning up the dust when finished. Outside they left cigarette butts around the house and one on my deck near my children's toys.
- Communication: all communication was reactive. Dan answered his phone every time I called but was never proactive about arrival times, running behind schedule on the job, or following up once finished.
- Overall Quality: The new drywall work was done well enough compared to other contractors I've hired. The repair work - that which was completed - was inconsistent. In one area of any given wall the results are good, in another area of the same wall are patches of un-sanded mud, leaving a rough, unfinished surface. Also as mentioned above, staples, nails, and tacks littered one wall. It appears the was no effort put forth whatsoever to rectify these issues.
In conclusion, my opinion is that if Dan and crew had focused their entire energy on repairing the ceiling this job would have been worth about $1,000 to me. The mediocre efforts expended on the walls were entirely worthless as I have had to repair the walls myself in addition to the new damage they left behind. The work done on the new drywall was done well enough - no complaints here. It strikes me as somewhat ironic that a company specializing in patch work did better with new drywall than repairs. In reviewing my notes I can find no reason to recommend Quikpatch and would not use them again. I hired them to take some work off my plate - turns out they took the money off my plate and left the work.

The company responed quickly, quoted a fair price, and completed the work in a reasonable amount of time.  Good job we are very happy with. 

They came to look at it and determined it looked worse than it really was and only a small area had to be replaced rather than the entire area I had expected. Jordan came and completed the project quickly and even sealed the rest of the wall for us that was damaged so it would be ready to paint. It only took two days from estimate to have someone come out.

My primary reason for using Quikpatch was previous experience - we had them do some drywall repair two years ago and they did a fantastic job.  It was fairly difficult to get an estimate this time.  Played phone tag with Dan a few times, then we set a date for the estimate, and I waited most of the afternoon before calling the office and asking if I had the date wrong.  Dan called me back and came right over to provide an estimate.  I called a week later and set a date for the drywall repair, which was done by his son.  Great job, very detailed, and he did an excellent job of matching the texture on the ceiling.  So in the end, I was happy with the result.  Dan did mention that he had a lot of work and his company was having trouble hiring enough qualified workers to meet the number of jobs they were receiving.  But I am glad I was persistent, because I'm more than satisfied with the result.

The holes were due to plumbing problems in two bathrooms above the family room.  Both holes were at least 12" by 12" due to a plumber who cut large holes in the ceiling while inspecting the damage pipes.  Quikpatch did a beautiful job repairing the  holes. The ceiling is rough textured and not freshly painted.  Somehow they got their repairs to match perfectly with the surrounding ceiling.

They were very professional and friendly and worked steadily. I am very happy to have my ceiling look like new.

As the father of two mischievous boys my life is always interesting.  One evening while sitting at the table, my wife and I thought we heard water dripping coming from upstairs.  I left the table and went to investigate.  My 5 year old son had filled up the upstairs bathroom sink and placed a plastic toy car in there to see if it floated.  The problem is he left the water running when he came downstairs for dinner.  I quickly tried to minimize the damage but it was far too late.  The sink had overflowed onto the floor and filled three drawers of the double sink vanity and continued to leak.  I cleaned up the area and came back downstairs to find water coming through the ceiling into our living room.  I drilled several holes in the affected areas for the water to drain out and called Quickpatch.
Dan came over the very next morning and bid the job for only 210 bucks and told me a story of a similar customer experience.  He and his son Justin came over about 5 days later and cut the ruined drywall out of the ceiling, then replaced and retextured it.  It took them approximately 3 hours to repair the damage and were very professional and polite.
Should you ever need drywall repair done, do yourself a favor and call Quickpatch.  Best move I could have made in that situation.  For the record, my son's car does float.

Quikpatch came out to give us a bid prior to performing the repair work.  The gentlemen could not make the originally scheduled time, but did call at the time of the original appointment and re-scheduled for the first thing the next morning.  For both the bid and the work, they were on-time.  They repaired two places on our ceiling that had water damage.  They had to cut and place a new piece of dry wall for each, and then blend it with the existing textured ceiling.  Our third item was smoothing out an imperfection in the wall due to some prior patch work.  They did a nice job.  You cannot tell where the repair work was done, and they did a nice job of matching the ceiling texture.  I would recommend Quikpatch for repair work and would hire them again.  I thought their bid was very reasonable for the work performed.

I was searching for a Company to complete drywall in my house due to a plumber opening up different areas of my house looking for leaky pipe that was caused by their company.   The plumber was incompetent and not properly licensed and works for Roto Rooter.  I was so distraught with the nightmare that I was facing of ever trusting someone to complete work in my house.  This plumber, ripped out my textured ceiling in my garage, he opened holes under the sink in my main and master bathroom, he then proceeded to open my tiled wall busting the tiles.  I searched through a number of candidates and was not satisfied with either their delayed response, lack of expertise and poor customer service etiquette.  I called Quikpatch and Dan call me back.  He came out to my home and estimated the damage.  Dan answered all of my questions that I had and he understood my frustration.  I questionned him about his expertise and Dan provided me with the company's history  and his experience.  He made me feel really comfortable to hire him to complete the job.  I also mentioned to him that I did not want any "speed bumps" in my walls, etc... because you hear of the stories of work being completed and not taped and mudded correctly.   He assured me that everything would be okay and I would be happy with the finished product.  Dan performed the service along with his son, Justin.  Its hard to find a company to trust and to perform quality work.  These two workers worked hard and asked if I had questions and cleaned up the areas once the job was completed.  I am recommending this firm to anyone who needs drywall.  This company may have other services that they provide, but they provided me with this service.  The owner should be proud to have such loyal, patient, and knowledgeable employees working for them.  Quickpatch did an excellent job!  I will refer them to all of my friends,

We were very pleased with the work and would use them again.
