About us

CURRENT UPDATE Hello Thank you for clicking on my Angies List Profile. I am back and still in business. The Covid thing has been trying. As noted below many things have changed. This is an update to that. I am back to me, responding,looking at, estimating and doing the work. Quite overwhelming for one person. Reputable help is extremely hard to come by. Because of that I can only get to so many a day, week and month. That has become a problem for some members here. I’d like to thank you for your understanding and do wish I could get back to each and every one of you in the time frame desired. I sadly am not meeting that demand. I encourage you to text and email me outside the Angie’s List app. When I sit here and scroll through the hundreds, I get lost in the madness. I’m now getting “F” ratings based on work I’ve never done and it’s gonna make my Angie’s list presence disappear. I personally don’t see that as a fair shake being that I’m completely upfront about how things go and are going with updates like this one. Thank you all and be safe. I still put out top notch work and will continue to do so even though I may go away in Angie’s list. *COVID 19 update. Hi folks and I continue to thank all of you clicking on my company for the work you desire. We have always provided the best possible service we could,based upon the understanding, the goals and end product desired,by everyone of our customers. For ten years now ( Goodmudders officially started in 2010). This turned out to be the approach so so many of you wanted in a company you hire. I kind of expected that, to be honest. In fact,it was the image we chased. What I didn’t expect that is that so many of you had a hard time finding some who could do what I couldn’t do at the time. So many of you have waited, delayed and made your schedule around us!!! That’s amazing and truly something I would have never of seen coming. What that did though was put an extremely high demand upon us. The requests became never ending. I want to apologize for not getting back to those that reached out, did their best to contact us in the exact ways as anyone would. I had an absolute goal in the beginning of all this to never leave anyone hanging. I sadly could not keep up. Things went well for us. We adapted and absorbed all the bumps and bruises that came with growing. We used that to refine our ways. That’s until this recent ”new normal” we now ALL live with. Being in a small business and I personally handle the business side and communication side of this, when school was canceled for me and my family that squarely landed upon my shoulders. My wife is a nurse and her schedule could not change,so mine had to. There is so very much that change effects. My time is no longer doing estimates and defining scope of work it became digging in deep to learning elementary school all over again ( getting up to speed really) on how to home school my kids. This wiped me out to be completely honest. It will get better, I know but that became an overreaching reason for applying my time to other than Goodmudders. I’m not an essential business. Even if I was an essential business what I can do is limited. The amount of full days, and all over the map “times that i can” is a the new reality I find myself in. Another compounding factor is, its not just me. The ones I call on to help in this whole Goodmudders thing are pivoting their lives as well. It’s come down to me, what I can do and when I can do it. If you’re still with me after all the above, I hope you appreciate what I’m about to say. Building this Goodmudders thing is something I always and still do believe in. I was just a kid with ambition when this thing started. It came from nothing and was made into something. I have no plans of letting go and going out of business. I’m tried though,like never before. It’s almost gonna be a restart, in a different time,when this is over and a new wa

Goodmudders' work was excellent -- Donny replied to my emails and texts very quickly. Work was scheduled and completed in only a few days from start to finish. We also needed a new curtain rod installed over a large window area and asked for additional pricing for that. Workers removed a large, complex/old system that was in place and hung the new one for no extra charge. The drywall/baseboard both look fantastic. We could not have had a better experience.

Good Mudders did great work for us. We were on a tight timeline and they went out of their way to fit our work in and get it completed on time and within our budget. Communication was clear and consistent about what was going to get done and when which made planning go smoothly. The quality of their craftsmanship is evident in the finished product. It's clear that this crew takes great pride in the work that they do. I would suggest Good Mudders to anyone in the area looking for great drywall work with a crew that goes out of their way to get the job done right.

After two weeks being in our new house, I had the unfortunate accident of falling through our attic floor, creating an 8"-wide hole in our upstairs ceiling. I was worried that even after it was fixed, it would still be noticeably different than the rest of the ceiling. The team from GoodMudders came in and did an amazing job. I cannot even see there was a hole in the ceiling previously. I highly recommend these guys for any drywall work you need done...they are the best in the business....

It took a few days for Goodmudders to get back to me but I’m glad i waited for them. Donny and Mark did an amazing job on my bathroom. They where professional and completed the job on time and for the price they quoted. They worked around me and my kids and where respectful the entire time they were in my house. The next project in my basement and i am definitely going to call them again.

Having hired goodmudders to initially install all the drywall in our finished basement many years ago, I did not hesitate to have them come back and reinstall after performing major renovations which necessitated the removal of almost half the walls. I worked in the trades for many years and know that a good dry waller is worth their weight in gold. They do not disappoint! They are so good that even other contractors who were working in the area commented on how great the job turned out. There was a lot of patchwork and seams in these repairs and when they were done it looked absolutely seamless. Amazing. This is my first review on Angie’s list after being a member for many years. These guys are at the top of their game. I would not hesitate to hire them again. In fact, I am more likely to take on major repairs knowing that I have this group of extremely professional craftsmen behind me!

I'm very particular, and I very rarely hire anyone to do work for me. I remodeled my basement with a full laundry/utility room, gameroom and bathrooms at about 900 square ft. I've done all the work to the point of finding someone to finish the drywall. I thought about attempting it, but I'm glad I didn't. They did a super job finishing the walls and ceilings, they corrected any of my drywall errors. I had bulkheads from ductwork throughout and the corners look perfect. They are truly skilled and I would hire them back in a second. Donny and Mark are good guys. They were 100 % professional around my wife and kids. They also left the job cleaner then when they started. I highly recommend Goodmudders!

We were very happy with the service that we received. From our initial conversation with Donnie through the work and clean up with Larry and Stan, we were pleased. Our biggest concern was that they be able to match the existing texture and they did a great job. They even fixed a section done by someone else who insisted they could match the texture. We lucked out and Goodmudders were able to finish the job within 48 hours of our initial contact.

Don estimated the job, but had two of his crew hang and finish the drywall. They showed up on time and did exactly what they said they were going to do. The finished product is high quality, and I highly recommend them.

This is my second time working with Goodmudders, and the experience was again excellent. Donny, the owner, was responsive to my inquiry to help me finish a small basement mudroom project I had started but been unable to complete. He fit me into his schedule, and quickly finished the job. The drywall is finished perfectly and now ready for priming. The area was completely cleaned. He was also very nice towards our 4 year old son who  hung out with him the basement as he worked because he was so interested in what Donny was doing! I highly recommend Goodmudders and would use them again.

Donny at Goodmudders is very professional & skilled at his craft. He was flexible in doing an estimate at my home and provided some suggestions for the work, but didn't pressure into any extra work. His team was punctual in arriving & very clean in their work. Our den had a texture, which instead of trying to match, he let us know that the best approach was to re-skim the ceiling and texture it right. While the cost was a bit higher, the end result of the repair came out very nice I feel that it was the right decision. 
&While the job ran over 1 day due to the weather, Donny was quick to inform of the change. He kept our home clean & tidy while doing his work, moving furniture & properly wrapping to avoid getting the area messy. 
Donny's team also brought a couple deliveries into my house when they arrived while they were working, which was much appreciated, especially since the weather was poor that week. Coming home to dry packages was just a nice touch.

The men who did the work are very professional.  They arrive on time and stay late.  We had several rooms with cracks in the textured ceiling.  They removed and repaired the damaged areas and then retextured them and painted.  They did a great job!
When we were looking for someone to fix our ceilings, we called several companies who declined at the first mention of a textured finish.  Goodmudders was the only company to give us a positive response, but they cautioned us that their schedule was quite full.  I did not mind waiting and asked them to put us on their list.  It took a while for them to get to us, but it was well worth the wait.
They really go the extra mile to make sure the job is done right.  If anyone has experience with drywall repair, they know it can be a very messy job.  Not with these men!  They totally protect floors, walls, drapes, etc. with coverings.  They clean every night before they leave.  When the job was finished, my house was clean and free of dust from sanding.  It looked (except for the greatly improved ceilings) like they had never been here.
Their price was a bit higher than I had anticipated, but believe me, it was worth every penny.  I highly recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat.  Good work!

These guys are the best.  The price was not the lowest of the bids but the work was worth the price.  They installed and finished (smooth) a new ceiling in my basement.  The finish was near perfect and blending in to the walls.  Donny offered some suggestions for finishing to the block wall.  I will use this crew again.

My husband served as the architect and G.C. of our remodeled home on the south-side slopes in Pittsburgh. I have to admit that Goodmudders was no where close to the lowest bid  but their work is worth every penny.  As my husband says "it astounds me that people will build a half million dollar home and finish it with the cheapest crew that will bid the drywall work". Our home is done in the modern, open style so the walls are everything.  My husbands crew hung the drywall and found numerous errors and mistakes done by the rough out framers. Goodmudders finished the whole house to level 5 smooth finish. No where in the house are the rough out framing errors evident to the naked eye.  We even used up lighting and reflected light on the ceilings and walls, everything is perfect! They showed up every day on-time and even worked weekends. Donnie and Mark were very professional, straight forward,did an amazing job and cleaned up afterwards. My husband say's he will never let another company touch the finished walls of any other of his projects. If you live in Pittsburgh and surrounding area, want a top tier finish on your drywall / plaster job you need these guys.  Keep in mind the extra few dollars you may pay for Goodmudders will be there for your satisfaction for the life-time of your home.

Donny and his business partner Mark care about their final product and their reputation.  We gave them a pretty good framework to work on (is any framing really perfect?) and they put in the time and effort to make it perfect.  Great attention to detail, no seems showing, straightened out minor bends in long runs.  We gave them many 45* angle challenges, smooth untextured ceilings, and some odd window recesses and they took their time and got them right. They are masters of their craft.  Courteous, friendly, and a pleasure to work with.  They clean up daily and left the workspace they way they found it.  They are very upfront with what to expect (it's drywall, expect dust) and completed our job a day ahead of schedule.  They are very busy (good contractors stay busy), but be patient... it's worth the wait. 



Also, they can recommend and excellent electrician if you need any electrical work done before buttoning up the walls.

GoodMudders were fantastic.  We have used a number of contractors for our fixer-upper home and rarely pass along recommendations to friends - GoodMudders was an exception.  Excellent communication with Donny the owner, punctual, great work (smooth walls, good corners, really precise cuts around the recessed lights (Donny is a whiz with the cuts - watch him!)
GoodMudders was also just a great group of guys.  They worked fast and got done ahead of time, but were always laughing and joking and having a good time together.  Small thing, but they all wore matching shirts, so they looked put together.  Donny is super nice too.
I recommended them to my neighbors here in Shadyside for a small patch job from a water leak and they loved GoodMudders too.
