"D&R did a tremendous job of repairing my cracked and buckled drywall. The quality of work was amazing and even brought his team out during the service to evaluate other work at my residence. Their team was extremely professional, produced high quality results, and was extremely well priced. This was by far my best experience on Angie's List and I highly recommend D&R to anyone who needs work done.
