MG Drywall

I called Manuel after finding his Craigslist ad to do some drywall work in our basement, and he answered and offered to come and give me a free estimate either that night or the next day. He came out that night, provided us with an estimate within 20 minutes, then offered to start the work as soon as he wanted him to! He showed up on the day we asked for them to start and got his crew started, and was in regular communication with me each day, letting me know when to expect his crew to start. His crew was professional and respectful to my home, and kept a clean workspace throughout the process. Drywall dust is not something that can be contained, which we knew going into this. They did such a great job on the project, in fact, that my husband and I requested a quote for additional work to be completed by them! We framed in a bathroom and another wall to enclose a storage area in our basement and Manuel's crew enclosed it all with green board and drywall, as well as installed a ceiling in the bathroom with a knockdown finish to match the rest of our home.

They were very responsive and came out to review the job and provided a quote onsite. They came back the next day for the first round of mud, tape, and sanding. They came back a couple days later for the finish coat and final sanding. When some of the mud had come loose from the ceiling they came back to repair and make sure I was satisfied. I sanded a couple places myself where I thought the surface had too much mud. I didn't request to have them return for this issue because I was on a tight timeline with my remodel. All in all it was a good experience but I do think they were expensive.

The ceilings look great!  Putting drywall on ceilings is a difficult and messy job.  Manuel and his crew did a wonderful job and were easy to work with.  We look forward to hiring them again.

Manuel bid a job to tape and finish 900 square feet of newly hung drywall.   He also informed me that he would be providing the work, not subbing it out to another tradesman.  His bid was for labor only and that payment would collected at the end of the job and after customer satisfaction.  Materials were purchased with his help at a local Lowes but on my tab.  Supplies to finish 900 square feet of hung drywall  ran about $170.   He arrived on day one and worked with another employee (Leo) to tape all seems and corners.  After taping and installing corner bead Manuel gave project instructions to Leo and left the site.  Leo completed the second step of finishing: bedding and coating all seams to finish the work during day one.  
  Over the next 3 days work was preformed by Leo to apply the finish coat and sand.  Leo work quietly and diligently finishing the project.  He did a nice job on cleaning up and leaving the site in good shape for the next phase of the reno.  Manuel did arrive on site periodically to check in with Leo and myself, making sure the project progressed smoothly.   

  Communication with Manuel and Leo was not an issue.  Their work was professional and it did not cause any type of interruption to the rest of the house.  On completion the space looked great and was preformed to expectations.  

  The only curve was the work being finished by Leo instead of Manual.  I felt he made it clear in the bidding process that he would be preforming the work.  I was worried that once he left on the first day the quality of work would suffer.  As it turned out, it did not. His presence was felt in a managerial roll instead of a labor roll. 

 I would recommend MG Drywall and also use him in the future.

Manuel is very responsive and does great work.

Everything went very well, as planned. I would recommend that anyone give him a shot.

We installed drywall in our garage, but wanted somebody more experienced to tape, mud and sand the drywall. We also had them mud and dimple the ceiling. Manuel was reasonably priced, knew what he was doing and was very punctual. We got a good job for less than our other quotes.
