Mr Wonderful

Al Vigil was referred to me by a friend, he had done some drywall & painting work for her.  He came out and bid the job. It was a removal of a load bearing wall between my kitchen and living room.  He explained the process and costs involved.  I scheduled the work a couple of weeks later.  Due to his busy schedule he fit me in during another job he was doing to accomodate my schedule.  My house being built in 1936 had some crazy things.  When he began the demo, we found that there were 2 layers of sheetrock over a layer of plaster.  We orginally had decided to do an exposed beam, however, when everything was opened up we discovered that the ceiling had been dropped from it's original level, and of course the prior contractor had not done a quality job so each ceiling was a different height.  Al discussed the options with me and we elected to do an enclosed beam.  He put the beam as high as he could so I could keep everything open and just have a small enclosed portion seperating the hall, living room and kitchen ceilings to hide the height differences. I am thrilled with the job, it is amazing how much of a difference it makes opening up that wall.
