Description of Work: Bob drywalled my attic which had many angles and different heights. He is an artist. It turned out beautifully and I could not be happier. Bob also repaired the plaster in my upstairs hallway which looks great. Bob was extremely professional and prompt. He was always pleasant to work with and tried to keep my house as neat as possible. I would definitely hire Bob to install or repair plaster in my house again. Thank you Bob!

Bob phoned back a couple days after I left a message seeking an estimate. He was able to meet me early in the morning before work, which I really appreciated. His estimate was on the lower end of 4 estimates we received. We agreed that he would perform the work primarily while we were away on a weeks vacation. The job ended up taking a couple days longer than estimated. For the most part the quality of work was good. However the rounded corner work although acceptable, could have been completed a little better. We had originally agreed that Bob would use one technique to finish the rounded corner (2 sheets of 1/4" thick drywall) but instead he used a different approach. (1 sheet of 1/2" thick) This approach left a very broken bend around the corner. To remedy this, many coats of drywall compound were applied. Although it's not obvious to visitors in our home, the corner is wavy and doesn't merge real well into the straight walls on either side of it. (it's acceptable) The other disappointing thing that occurred is the subwoofer cable for our home entertainment center fell victim to Bob's sander. (I'll have to pull a new one through the walls and attic) Finally, Bob did not always show up when he said he would. A couple times he arrived several hours later than he planned. Overall, Bob was courteous and trustworthy, kept a reasonably clean job site and left our home in good condition.
Description of Work: Drywall interior walls of living and family rooms. Walls were previously covered with paneling which when removed exposed bare wall studs. One wall consisted of a rounded corner. I masked all flooring and removed all electrical outlets and switches prior the start of the job.

Bob Wilcox was able to start the work within a week of providing us an estimate. Even though it was a holiday weekend he worked a couple hours each day over the weekend and finished the job (without rushing) in 5 days. As a bonus he made a long wall crack disappear with a skim coat. His last day (after sanding) he did a light cleanup. This left us with a nice looking ceiling, but a little more cleanup than we would have liked.
Description of Work: Bob Wilcox drywalled a ceiling in a bedroom. The area was about 180 sq. feet.

Bob came over almost every day and even some weekends and was very diligent. We have 3 cats and he was sure to make sure they they were not exposed to the dust, etc. Bob is a perfectionist and made sure the job turned out to our satisfaction. He is very outgoing and friendly so it was a pleasure having him do all the work he did. We would highly recommend him, he is very thorough and always follows up.
Description of Work: We own a Bungalow Flat and the back hallway from the entrance door to the 2nd floor Apartment was covered with stucco about 25 years ago to hide the cracks. Bob completely redid the entire hallway, the walls and high ceilings with a smooth texture and covered all of the cracks. He covered the walls with a wire mesh and patiently applied several coats of mud. He underestimated the time it would take to finish so it took longer then expected but turned out great. Some other contractors turned down the job saying it would be too much work but he was up for the challenge.

The skim coat was very even and smooth. Bob applied fiberglass cloth to the ceilings first and then followed up with several coats of dry wall compound. Bob waited one to several days for the drywall compound to dry before applying the next coat. The last coat was sanded with a power sander. The patch on the wall blended in well with the texture finish. Bob let us know that he does not clean up the dust from the sanding. We cleaned up ourselves. Clean-up was more work than we anticipated.
Description of Work: Bob applied skim coat to our living room and dining room ceilings. and patched a crack in the living room wall that has a textured finish. The goal of the skim coat was to cover some cracks.

Bob did great work. He came out and gave us an estimate and detailed the amount of work to be done. He removed the damaged section and replaced it. He's a perfectionist and worked until it was done to his satisfaction. He obviously cares a lot about his work, and the finished product was just what we needed.

Bob came quite a distance to do an estimate, then another trip to do measurements, and then MANY trips to install the drywall and create the finished product. It took a couple of weeks overall with some days off here and there. He did a very thorough job and I'm pleased with it. He was not familiar with some of the newer drywall products my husband requested that he use. So, there was a little hesitation in having him do the work. But, I'm glad we hired him anyway.
Description of Work: We hired Bob to drywall one hallway wall and to drywall a small bathroom. We had some of the supplies on hand already and my husband completed a little of the work for Bob before the job actually began.

Bob is wonderful. A true perfectionist. Came and gave an estimate in a very timely manner which was below another bid. Started job shortly thereafter. The walls are beautiful. You can't tell that work was done-looks like part of the original house. Took about 2+ weeks to finish the job as he was working on a few jobs at the same time, but the end result is beautiful. On top of it all, he is a very nice guy. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

Description of Work: Mr. Wilcox returned my calls and was very empathetic about our situation, but as he only does drywall and no carpentry, he could not be of service in our situation. His promptness and demeanor over the phone however were enough that I would contact him in the future.

Bob's bid was not the lowest of the eight received but we could tell when we interviewed Bob that he was the best in the business. Bob enjoys what he does and loves the "art" of drywall. Bob has been in the business for 30+ years, knows much about construction, and is eager to teach anyone interested in learning. Bob encountered many hurdles blending the large addition with our 1936 home but he did such a beautiful job, you can't even tell what the house looked like initially. He also spent much time perfecting mistakes made by the carpenters whose structure he covered. Bob has a strong work ethic, often working 7 days a week He is very conscientious and has a tremendous amount of pride in his work. He is comfortable to have at your home and seems more like a friend yet is very professional. Bob has spent much more time at our house than we expected but did not charge us above his estimate. He is a true perfectionist and artist, not finished with the job until he is satisfied.
Description of Work: Drywall, mud, sanding for 1,836 sq. ft. addition plus portions of existing house including large master bedroom with vaulted ceiling, many windows, archways. We intend to have him do our garage now that we have seen the quality of his work.

Bob did a great job. He was pleasant, down to business, and delivered a good quality job.
Description of Work: I had cut a hole in a plaster wall in the shape of an 8 foot wide arch between the kitchen and dining room. I wasn't comfortable that I could finish it professionally and have nice smooth curves and clean corners. Bob stabilized the wall with mesh on one side, installed drywall on the other side, installed edge bead, finished with "mud", and finish sanded.

Initially he said he would have no problem with the job. I have received no fax for the job or a quote over the phone. I cannot get him on the phone. It is a larger job and if he is not interested a call to say that he could not do it would be nice. He should have indicated right away if he could not do the job.

Bob was able to flex his schedule enough to begin work once we were ready. (We are doing most of the work ourselves.) He would notify us of his schedule and work with us when needed to accommodate our schedules. He was pleasant, polite, and did very high quality work.
Description of Work: Bob put drywall up in the attic that we are remodeling into a bathroom/bedroom area. He was not our low bidder, but spent time answering all our questions and listening to what we wanted done. He was able to piece together and shape the drywall to help disguise some of the variation that results from things not being square in an older home. He did a complicated job relatively quickly. We are very pleased with the quality of his work.
