We plan on future remodeling and have Frisch Drywall on our list when we are ready to proceed with future home improvements.
Description of Work: We had a ceiling crack caused by a leaking roof. Work was performed by scraping the plaster around and near the crack along with the removal of surrounding plaster that bubbled over the years from water damage. The open and surrounding plaster was replaced with four thinly laid layers of fresh plaster allowing each layer to dry before the next layer was spread. We primed and painted the ceiling a few days after the repair and there is no sign that a crack or water damage ever occurred. Of course we did not have the work done until we first repaired and replaced the roof.

Mike did an excellent job repairing the plaster and matching the existing texture. He also discovered some other places on my cathedral ceiling where damage had occurred and where the plaster was about to fall. I saw him touch a place gently, causing the top layer of plaster to give way. I am grateful he caught these other areas and spent extra time beyond what I had contracted for to fix them. Mike is quite personable and easy to work with.
Description of Work: Mike fixed numerous places where moisture had caused the plaster to bubble or erode, some large holes drilled in the plaster, and places were we mounted smaller thermostats leaving an areas where the texture of the plaster did not match.

I purchased a coupon for 3 hours of drywall repair for $160. Mike was very prompt in calling me after I purchased the coupon. I explained what kind of work I needed. He set up an appointment to stop by and see the work. Mike was very accommodating to my work schedule and was able to begin the project within a few days. Mike has great pride in his work and is very pleasant to have working in your home. My project required additional time, so It did take more than the 3 hour coupon. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Mike repaired drywall in my kitchen in several places. First, I had water damage from a leaking chimney that had been repaired. He replaced and repaired the drywall in the ceiling. Second, he repaired a sizable hole in the drywall, also in the kitchen. And finally, I had a long crack extending across my living room ceiling, he repaired and drywalled.

We emailed back and forth for a good time for both of us. He was prompt. He came to my house, and we discussed what needed to be done with the large crack in my entrance ceiling. He removed the old dryway. He then put new drywall up, and cleaned the area. The whole process took about 2 and half hours. He was great to work with and I would highly recommend him.

It went well. He seemed very experienced. I think he had 20 years of experience. He was friendly. I had an Angie's List coupon for $99 and it was an extra $15 for materials. It was difficult to hook up with him. He didn’t do a very good job on cleanup but I kind of said I would help with that.

Went well. Mike did a good job. We bought the Angie's List coupon in 2012 and he called right away to let us know that he was really busy due to the coupon's popularity and that when we were ready to make an appointment he would work us in. We had a few other things to do to the house before we were ready for drywall work so we waited a month. I gave him a description of what was needed over the phone and he came prepared with what he needed. We had about 6 patches that needed to be done. due to some of the patches being on the ceiling we gave him cash to go to Menard's to pick up a ceiling texture spray that matched our current ceiling. He went over the 3 hours by about 40 minutes. Overall, with the $100 coupon, the ceiling texture paint and the additional time needed to complete the repairs I think it was about $180. We did not have him paint the patches as we are painting the entire house anyway, although he offered and it seemed to be included in the repair cost. We are happy with the services and would use Mike again for home improvements. He was very knowledgeable and experienced and had no problem explaining the work he was doing.
Description of Work: Had several ceiling and wall drywall patches fixed. Got an estimate for painting living/diningroom and additional drywall work

We had a number of holes from old light fixtures and a recessed medicine cabinet in the bathroom. Mike patched them all and filled in smaller holes around the room. He also made sure the hole for the new light fixture was strong enough to support the electrical box.

Michael, the owner, actually contacted me. I had delayed contact, waiting on a day off. His ad indicated that he didn't work on the weekends, but he was more than accommodating. I tried to explain the project, but it was difficult so Mike if I could email pictures. It worked out well. He arrived as expected, knew exactly what was needed & was prepared for the job. He did a great job. The ceilings & holes in the wall looked 110 percent better. A little paint & they're hardly recognizable. Mike was professional & knowledgeable. I'd definitely use Frisch again.
Description of Work: I took advantage of a Big Deal and had drywall repairs done on some holes in the wall & ceilings.

Great. Good worker with pleasant personality.
Description of Work: We have had an ugly 7 foot crack in our ceiling between the living room and dining room. Over the years I have made several attempts to fix the crack myself but the crack quickly returned and my efforts to fix it myself were wasted. Mike came at the time promised and I could see that he approached the problem entirely differently than I had. He secured the adjacent pieces of drywall so that they would not again cause the crack to reappear. Mike worked quickly and carefully, cleaning up after himself at each phase of the project. The work was completed in a little less than three hours. He advised me about painting the repaired area, which I did tonight and the ceiling looks great. I would certainly refer my friends to him in the event that they needed drywall repairs. I used the Angie's list Deal but was so satisfied the I choose to give him some additional payment to thank him for the excellent work that he did for us. After years of being irritated by this problem with our ceiling I am confident that we won't have to worry about it any more..

It went very well, please see the services performed.
Description of Work: My house was built in 1880, two walls appeared to be cracking/bowing. Mike Frish was very accomodating to our need to postpone the repair until after the Holidays. He communicated effectively and the work was well done. South wall was not a plaster problem, but a peeling wallpaper covered by 100 layers of paint, he scraped until the wall paper was solid, applied bonding agent and base coat, we primed and painted it. The North wall was a big problem, our 133 year old plaster was coming loose from the lath, he closed off the area with plastic and cut the bulging piece of plaster out with a minimum of dust. He then shimed and dry walled the opening, again applied a bonding agent and base coat. The work was excellent and timely, highly recommended.

We bought an advertised $99 coupon for plaster repair sometime in late October. Michael called right away to let us know that as a result of the ad he was very busy and was working on a first come first served basis. He asked me to send some pictures of the job which I did. I also told him we were in no hurry. He then called early in December and made an appointment to come over and look at the job. He quoted a price and was ready to start the following Monday. After he finished the work, he asked if we wanted it painted. We were delighted to discover that he also painted so he was able to complete the entire project for us! He was punctual, efficient with his time and cleaned up after himself. He also suggested color contrasts for the paint. The room and hallway look fantastic! We plan to hire him to repair the plaster and paint the remainder of our house.
Description of Work: Removed ceiling tiles in a bedroom and hallway. Replaced with dry wall. Replastered walls in the bedroom and patched area in second bedroom. Prepared celings, raw wood around new window and moldings for painting and then painted.

Mike didn't mind me hanging around and asking questions while he worked. He freely gave me tips and told me to call him any time I had questions. I would be happy to hire Mike for future work and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Mike repaired an opening in our kitchen ceiling created froma leak in the bathroom on the 2nd floor above. He squared off the opening that was roughly cut to let water drain into a bucket. He put 4 - 5 coats of drywall mud on during the 3 hours he was at our house.

Mike was very accommodating in scheduling our project. He arrived promptly and after seeing the areas needing repair he got right to work. He was polite and neat, keeping the dust and mess to a minimum. His repairs were just what we needed and turned out great. I would definitely recommend Frisch Drywall to anyone needing drywall work done.
Description of Work: We had some loose drywall seams in the garage and a few corner areas inside the house that needed repair. We purchased an Angie's List coupon to have a drywall expert complete these repairs. This involved removing the loose tape, screwing loose drywall seams, and retaping and finishing those areas.

Really, really pleased with the work he did. The cracks in our living room ceiling were poorly repaired by a previous owner (repair tape was buckling, basically put on the tape and painted over it). Michael removed the old tape and repaired the cracks, I believe using drywall mud. He did a really nice job and gave me the good advice to prime the areas before painting the ceiling. I will use him again in the future. (Big Deal was for $99 and extra $30 was for supplies)
Description of Work: I purchased the Big Deal that was $99 for 3 hours of drywall or plaster repair. Michael repaired a number of cracks in the ceiling of our living room, as well as a couple other spots in the house.

I bought a "big deal" from Angie's List for 3 hours of Drywall repair from Frisch Drywall. When I called to set up an appointment he didn't seem thrilled to hear from yet another one of the 'Big Deal' customers, but he was polite and professional and asked if I was in a hurry to get the walls repaired or if I could wait a while. I said we were in no hurry. About a month later he called me on his own and set up a time for that same week to come and fix the holes. He came on time, was very professional and friendly. He chatted with my kids and was nice to my dogs. He cleaned up after himself and did an excellent job on the walls.I will definitely hire him again if I need more drywall work.
Description of Work: He repaired 3 holes that were in our walls, one from a doorknob going through the wall, one from a dog ripping a hole right through the drywall, and another just a patch up job that had been scratched badly.

The job was bigger than it looked on the photo I sent him, but he took it in stride and was very gracious. He did an excellent job and was very neat, making an extra effort to leave a cluttered garage looking cleaner than it was when he began.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced a large section of plastered garage ceilling damaged by leaking bathtub overhead. Went above and beyond, by removing all damp insulation and replacing it with, higher grade material.

Response from Frisch Drywall
This review indicated that services were performed. I have not yet scheduled a time to complete the work, but I did speak with the member a month ago. I let her know that the large number of Big Deals purchased would be difficult to complete all at once, and she indicated she wasn't in a rush and I should call her when I had more time available in my schedule. After reading this review, I called the Member today, did not reach her, and left a message.

He was prompt arriving and finished the job quickly. The only thing that bothered me was he did not have any textures to put on after the repairs. I assumed those were materials he would have on hand.

I highly recommend Mike. I purchased a coupon through Angies List for Mike's Services. He answered right when I called, and scheduled a day for the services immediately. I had 3 areas that I emailed pictures to Mike that needed drywall repair. Mike was prompt, professional, and extremely courteous. Mike pointed out a 4rth area that he recommended be repaired. He didn't charge extra for this, and goes to show the type of product his business puts out. My wife and I recommend Mike for anytime of drywall work.

Mike arrived on time. He did a fantastic job on all our plaster cracks and chunks. The repairs are not visible at all. He also cleaned up after himself. He gave us advice on a primer to use and suggestions about paint. He was very well informed. We were very impressed by him and by his work.
Description of Work: Frisch Drywall offered 3 hours of service for $99 plus needed supplies as a special on your site. We signed up, expecting to wait a long time before we would be contacted; but Mike got back to us in just a couple of days. We sent him photos via e-mail of the work we wanted done: we had a number of long cracks in our plaster walls in four rooms and also places where the plaster had fallen off in chunks. He scheduled us in a week and a half from when we first bought his service.

Mike was incredibly fast to 1) respond & get me a quote and 2) start the work. He's a guy who says what he's going to do and does what he says. Easy to work with. I was especially impressed by his great communication after we were working on the job. He would call often to find out when the good times were to get in. The work was great. He even worked on a Saturday. I will totally hire Mike again for my other jobs. I thought his prices were right on the mark, and way less than a big drywall company.
