We used Southern Counties Drywall to repair a ceiling damaged from a water leak. They showed up on time, did great prep work to capture any mess and left the area spotless. They did an outstanding job on the repair and gave me clear instructions about how long to wait until painting the area. I highly recommend them for any drywall issue you have!

Richard arrived on time and completed the job real quick. He did an excellent job trying to match the texture on the wall/ceiling. He completed in a few hours and did his best to keep the area clean. Highly recommend this company! :)

Roy met with me and gave me a satisfactory quote on a Saturday. Got the work started on the next Tuesday and was done by early Saturday that same week. Job included priming plaster ceiling, skim coating about 1100 sqft, and included a skip towel finish. I also had some spots on the walls of the bathroom and a third room smoothed over so that the wall looked very professional. Bernie was on site every day and did an exceptional job. Be sure to ask for him if you want a really great finished product.

It went really well. There is no way to take any points away on ratings for this company. They did A+ work from start to finish. Excellent work. The owner, Roy McDaniel, is highly professional, efficient and reliable, and comfortable to work with. His worker, Rich, followed suit. Rich's approach to his work is impressive - he is dedicated, hard working, detailed and thorough, courteous and professional. He did an excellent job and I am totally satisfied with this job. I was so happy with Rich's work that I told him he is a "working world hero". He said he wasn't a hero, and I said, yes he is, he's my hero. And I do mean that. He had all qualities of a perfect worker in my home. I would re-hire this company with no hesitation.

They were very punctual, and did top-notch work. The patch, molding replacement and painting were done so well that we could not see where the damage had occurred! Great attention to detail!

Our restoration company (Restoration 1) charged us a fortune for the dry-out, and told us that we'd have to wait awhile before they could provide us an estimate for the drywall repair, so I started calling drywall contractors on Angie's List.. Roy and his crew from Southern Counties Drywall were awesome! After texting him pictures of our damage and measurements he gave me a quote over the phone. Naturally having dealt with so many contractors I thought this was just a starting price, and that it would be more once complete. Not the case, Roy and his crew came out the next day, surveyed the situation, and started work! They had the entire job done in 1.5 days, kept right on budget, and didn't charge me a dollar over the quoted price! After seeing the progress they made in the morning I asked if they could replace the baseboards that were damaged as well. They only charged me $50 for all this work (baseboards & baseboard repair on 5 walls). Awesome job, no waiting for the job to start, completed on time & for the price quoted, would use them again in a heartbeat! Southern Counties Drywall completed the entire job before Restoration 1 could provide me their estimate... still waiting for.
Description of Work: We had a leak in our wall that damaged a total of 5 walls and part of our ceiling. - Ceiling drywall and repair - One entire wall needed to be insulated and drywalled - Repair bathroom wall after our repipe and mirror and vanity removal. - Fix large cut-outs in three other walls - Baseboard repair and finishing -Rebuild a window casing -Textured everything once complete.

Roy was great about keeping me informed about the start date slipping a little so that Chad and Richard could complete a different job. Chad and Richard were professional and did beautiful work. The walls were smooth and the texture appears to have been applied evenly. The walls look like it might look on a brand new home.
Description of Work: Removed decorative texture from two different rooms. One room had the texture on all walls while the other room had applied the texture in areas and framed it like artwork. Walls were smoothed and texture was applied to match other walls in the home.

The job was perfect. Roy was professional, clean, competent, and reasonably priced. I can only say positive things about this experience. I would hire Roy again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: We needed to install a new heat pump in a soffit. The opening to the soffit was too small to get the old unit out and the new unit in. Roy tore out the old drywall, reinforced the sides, re-drywalled, and found a carpenter to custom craft a new door.

They are very professional. Their pricing was reasonable, scheduled the work fairly quickly, finished it as planned and did a quality job! Rich patched the walls such that there were no seems shown and it looked like new. I would definitely recommend Southern Counties Drywall.

Roy and his crew did what was promised. They showed up as they said they were going to, they did a good job of cleaning up afterward, and they got the job done earlier than promised. The only thing preventing an A-grade was a mishap with one of the lighting fixtures and a few unexpected dings on the walls/baseboards. The finished work was and A, but overall a B+/A-, for a bit of residual issues.
Description of Work: Removed old acoustic texture from ceiling on 1979 house and retextured with skip-trowel finish. Did not opt for subsequent painting.

We bought an advertised “4 hour special drywall work” for $240 from Southern Counties Drywall. Roy was prompt and courteous. It took less than a week for him to schedule an appointment with us. He arrived on time, assessed the scope of work, and originally told us it would probably take 5 to 5 ½ hours to complete. His work was amazingly professional. All 3 drywall patches blend in with the existing area and look great! He cleaned up the work area to our satisfaction. He actually completed the job in less than 4 hours so there was no overage charge and he didn’t even charge us for the supplies he used. He said it was all covered by the $240 we paid. A class guy! We highly recommend Southern Counties Drywall and we will definitely use Roy again for our drywall work.
Description of Work: We had three small holes in need of drywall patching. Two were at the base of a wall and the other was on the kitchen ceiling. Approximate size of drywall patches were 1 to 3 feet.

Roy responded very promptly then came out and gave us a very fair price. We scheduled the work and were pleased when he called and moved up the date by one day. Roy and his crew arrived promptly at 8:00 AM and set to work immediately. Ten holes were patched to perfection and painted the next day. We were very impressed with the quality of work and the pleasant attitudes of all. We highly recommend Southern Counties Drywall to any who desire quality work at a fair price.

Roy was good to work with - communicated well and friendly. Richard was the tradesman that did the drywall work. He was on time, got right to work, protected my kitchen area and my entire entry way from debris while he did the work. The quality of work of outstanding and he cleaned up the area perfectly afterwards.

My husband and I gave Roy and his crew consisting of Joey, RIch and Chad all A-s. They were very thorough in every detail of their job. They protected all of our floors, furniture in the rooms they were working in as well as cleaning the job site when through. We contacted Roy in the second week of April for an estimate, he came to our home and looked at the work to be done and then provided us a detailed estimate through email on Friday April 14, His proposal was detailed on every point of the job to be done. Due to other job commitments, he gave us a start date of April 26th, He called us on Monday the 24th and told us he could start on Tuesday, April 25th. Every morning, depending on the work being done, various crew members would start at 8:00 a.m. and normally worked to 5 or 5:30 and would always leave the work areas cleaned up before they left. The project from start to finish was a total of five days. They finished on Saturday evening April 29th. Roy is the drywall specialist and was there in the beginning to work with some crew on the drywall repairs, and then would check on the retexture and painting specialists of his crew, and came in the afternoon of the last day to make sure all the work was to our satisfaction and that all the interior doors that had to be removed for painting access were reattached and he put on all the new lighting socket covers we bought to replace the old ones removed as well as vents.
Description of Work: Needed drywall repairs, removing of wall paper and painting of walls due to hot waterline leak. Pipe was rerouted through walls of formal living room wall, through ceiling of utility room, a hallway and into a downstairs bathroom where leak occurred. Sixteen various holes ranging from 12 inches to 48 inches in odd shapes were to be repaired and the walls primed and repainted . We received a total of three appraisals for the job, and we decided on Southern Counties Drywall operated by Roy McDaniel who was the one through Angie's List.
