Dan did a great job. He was on time, called before he was to arrive as I requested so that I could be home. He really took care of the details and he kept the work area very clean. I was suprised at how difficult this "easy" job would have been for me to do. I would highly recommed using them.
Description of Work: I had 2 holes in my wall and ceiling repaired and one ceiling area patched.

Most of the individuals I contacted before Chris weren't interested in the job or failed to follow-up after the initial phone call. After describing the project to Chris, he provided me an estimate over the phone due to the travel time between Grand Prarie and Frisco. Chris completed the job flawlessly, under budget and even touched up a poor do-it-yourself patch job in another room. As an added benefit, he offered to blend the paint on-hand with the rest of the ceiling.
Description of Work: I need approximately twenty-five jagged holes repaired in my kitchen ceiling after a recessed lighting project.

Overall, I find Chris' approach completely unprofessional. If he can't or doesn't want to make it, HE SHOULD LET YOU KNOW. We count on someone showing up when you tell us and I missed an afternoon of work waiting for someone. When he tells you someone will be out, be skeptical. I had read a previous review of Chris where something similar happened and I thought it was probably a one-time occurence. Guess not. I even gave him a second chance and still no return contact.
Description of Work: After reading the great reviews, I was excited about having Chris come look at our job. I guess I don't know the secret handshake, though, because after assuring me someone would stop by to look (and after I waited at my house for someone to show), nobody showed up. I also was completely unable to reach him after our initial contact. I wasn't even asking for a quick turnaround, just needed someone to come by that week. I contacted other drywall companies on Angie's List and they all showed up within the week to give an estimate. I'm not sure why that is so challenging for Chris.

He returned the call after I left him a message. I got a timely call back to set up the appointment. He showed up when he said he would be here. He gave me as close an estimate as he could get based on the information he had at the time. Some of it took a little more money because the wallpaper was hard to remove and he charges on an hourly basis. He did a really great job. I would absolutely use him again.
Description of Work: He took down wallpaper in one bathroom, he did texturing in two bathrooms, and he did some drywall repair in other rooms.

Chris Golden owns the company. He does a good job of getting things done and his quality of work is great. Sometimes it is better than the original construction. He is good at matching textures and does emergency repairs. We were happy with the price which is competitive with others.
Description of Work: This company has done several projects for us. They took out some sheet rock and put up some plywood up and then sheet rocked over that. They then painted the wall to match the rest of the room.

Response from Golden Home Improvement
ALLOW ME TO CLEAR UP THIS MISUNDERSTANDING. BACK IN JUNE, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE MEMBER. SHE WAS GIVEN MY NAME BY HER NEIGHBOR, WHOM WE'VE DONE SEVERAL JOBS FOR IN THE PAST. SO I WENT OVER AND GAVE HER AN ESTIMATE FOR $2500. I GUESS THIS WAS TOO HIGH FOR HER LIKING, AS I DIDN'T HEAR BACK FROM HER. A FEW WEEKS LATER SHE EMAILED ME THROUGH ANGIE'S LIST ASKING FOR THE SAME ESTIMATE AGAIN - NOT REALIZING THAT IT WAS I THAT HAD BEEN OUT THERE. I EMAILED HER AN ESTIMATE FOR $2500, BUT THIS TIME I INCLUDED A "TAX" FOR PEOPLE LIVING ON HER STREET WITH NEIGHBORS NAMED SUCH-AND-SUCH. I ASSUMED (WRONGLY, IT SEEMS) THAT SHE WOULD REALIZE THE MIX-UP AND CHUCKLE, OR AT LEAST GO WITH THE ESTIMATE WITHOUT THE RIDICULOUS "STREET TAX"! BUT NEVER DID I SAY THAT WE DIDN'T WANT HER BUSINESS. IN CONCLUSION, I APOLOGIZE THAT MY ATTEMPT AT HUMOR WENT OVER LIKE THE PROVERBIAL LEAD BALLOON! I JUST WISH THE MEMBER HAD CALLED FOUR MONTHS AGO AND COMPLAINED INSTEAD OF HARBORING ILL-WILL ALL THIS TIME. CHRIS GOLDEN - DRYWALL REPAIR SPECIALISTS

Chris came to my home and repaired damaged drywall in my laundry room. He was prompt and very professional. His quality of work is excellent and he was fully prepared to get right to work. It is obvious that he is a professional in his field! I will be calling him again very soon to complete some additional work in my home.

He did a great job. The wall looked fantastic when he was done. We called him on Monday and he was able to come and do the job really quickly, which was important because we had company coming.

I have the "popcorn" type ceiling and the living room/dining room are vaulted. Taking off the old drywall to repair the cracks is messy business. They did a great job of draping everything that couldn't be moved to protect it from the dust; plus every day before they went home, they did a wonderful job of vacuuming and cleaning up, so my home was still livable. They had to build scaffolding to reach the area to repair in the living room/dining room. It would have been ever so much easier if the job was for a standard ceiling -no such luck. Chris was kind to dust off the reverse side of my ceiling fan in the living room - as long as he was "up there" as well as to educate me on repairing wall paper "curls". Chris' Dad was kind enough to trim a brown branch from my front yard live oak, having ladders that would grant access. Since I was repeatedly ignored for my requests to the tree trimming company that initially did the job. So this Dad and Son duo go beyond the "call of duty" to make their clients happy. I wish we could have gotten a closer match on the paint but understand it's tough duty when you don't have a gallon of the original paint to go by.
Description of Work: I had cracks in the ceiling they repaired in the living room, dining room, master bedroom and one ceiling water damage spot in the master bedroom. After repair they painted and made every effort to match the existing wall and ceiling color.

I left him an e-mail on Monday. On Tuesday (today) he called and we discussed the problem. He said that he could be out to fix the problem at around 2 PM. He called at 1:30 PM and said he was on his way. He arrived at 2 PM, looked at the problem and began his work. He finished at 4:15 PM. The work was excellent.
Description of Work: Fixed a water stain in family room by removing the stained section, adding a new section and then adding the "popcorn" stuff back so that it would look just like the rest of the ceiling.

Chris arrived at the time that he said he would. He had one helper with him. The first day he removed the paneling and re-textured. I stayed in a back room most of time with my spoiled dogs. I never heard a lot of chit chat going on which I really appreciated. The second day he also arrived on time and did the painting and replacement of the molding. Chris did the job in the time promised. I thought he did a great job for a picky client. I would definitely use him again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Chris removed the paneling on a wall in my 70's style home. After he removed the paneling, the drywall behind the paneling was repaired where needed. Then he re-textured the wall to look exactly like my other walls, which is what I asked for. Next he painted the wall the next day and painted and replaced the molding that had been removed. He made the door opening look like all the other openings in the room.

Excellent experience. Chris and partner arrived on time, did an estimate on the spot, I agreed to that and they immediately left for the home improvement store to get the material. All work was done by the end of the day. I have used Chris before for interior drywall repair and was very pleased then.

Arrived on time; were totally knowledgeable about their craft. It has been a few months since I had this work done and can report no problems. These guys are artists. The job they did to me is flawless. They repaired a job that I had tried to repair and had no success with. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH; not to mention the additional work that they did for the originally quoted price.
Description of Work: Repaired cracks in ceiling and wall due to foundation problems. Also repaired drywall tape that was peeling. Sprayed popcorn on ceiling to match original texture. Performed additional work that my wife asked them to do that added about an hour to the job for no extra charge.

Chris and partner showed up on time. Gave us a reasonable quote and completed the job in three days. It would have taken me two weeks minimum and I've done this kind of work. Three days was unbelievable. I came home to find NO DUST, No debris, nothing. Every speck of dust was gone! None, even in the driveway! He pointed out that the ceiling had bowed over the years. Then he double sheet rocked it for support and aesthetics, NO EXTRA CHARGE. Then he smoothed, undercoated and painted the ceiling. The room looks like nothing ever happened. It's cleaner than before the accident and the ceiling is absolutely PERFECT. Tape and bed is invisible and the paint job is the best I've ever seen. Oh and he charged us LESS than he quoted
Description of Work: Plaster ceiling was sheet rocked over with quarter inch sheet rock. Well the house is 100 years old, the plaster had been giving away under the sheet rock, eventually the sheet rock couldn't support the weight and the ceiling came down ruining a couple of antiques. Dust was everywhere, sheet rock and plaster was on everything. I've done a lot of home repairs on rental properties but this was really discouraging. Decided to just hire someone from Angie's List to do the job. Found Chris Golden and thought I'd see if we could work out a deal.
