Chris did an excellent job on the dry wall repair I requested. Completed to my extreme satisfaction. Chris was prompt in responding and following up. He arrived on time and was meticulous in his cleanup. Very satisfied with the quality of the work performed.
Description of Work: Fixed small hole in the dry wall addressed behind a door knob, a minor gouge in the dry wall in a bedroom, a repair above the baseboard in another room where the paint was simply pealing off and added compound to several areas in a sun room requiring skip trowel blending. The match was perfect and it looks like no repair was ever done.

Chris was excellent! He was on time, very professional. The work he did was quality. There was no mess left behind. The job was done so fast and so well that you can't tell where the holes were. I would definitely recommend Chris, and I will definitely hire him again for any drywall repairs.

Chris was so easy to work with. He was on time every appointment. He also had to put up with my son being locked out of the property and he waited patiently while a locksmith was called. My son said he was "so chill". The work was completed efficiently and it looks great!

Chris Welch is the owner and operator of the business. We have used Chris several times since 2013 for various drywall repairs and replacements around the house (garage and bedroom ceilings, bathroom and kitchen walls and around the windows). Chris usually can stop by for a free estimate within a day or two and can schedule the job relatively quick. He is diligent, reliable & takes pride in his job. Since he works by himself, he is perfect for smaller to medium size jobs or even bigger jobs if you do not have a deadline. He repaired some areas in the ceilings & did his best to imitate the knockdown texture so the repaired area matched the rest of the ceiling. He tries to contain the drywall mess by using plastic sheets around his work area & cleans up after done. Of course this is drywall we are talking about; you still have a decent amount of cleaning to do afterwards! He has always done an excellent job for us, so do not hesitate to give him a call.

Had a roof leak a while back, and needed to repair the drywall in my kitchen. He not only fixed my drywall, but touched up some areas around the affected area so the ceiling looks flawless since the popcorn was removed. He shows up on exactly when he says he’s coming and works fast and efficiently. Very Professional, will definitely recommend him to all my family and friends for whenever they need drywall services.

Some adjectives to describe my experience with Chris Welch the Drywall Doctor: reliable, punctual, and professional. I called Chris on Friday morning to look at my daughter's bedroom's ceiling. He came to my house at the agreed upon time the same day to look at the job's scope. He said that he could start on Saturday morning at 9am, and that is what he did. He wore a mask and shoe booties and he brought all of the needed tools and supplies. He did an excellent job. He replaced a couple of feet of drywall, and you cannot tell that the ceiling was ever repaired. I would use his services again. I highly recommend him.

Chris was excellent. He actually called the morning he was going to do the repair asking if it was OK to show up late as it was raining heavily and he didn't want to materials he was going to use to do the repair to get wet. He finished the job efficiently and was true professional. I would hire him again.

Chris is a true master with drywall. I hired Chris to do some drywall modifications and repair. Chris came out quickly and then did the work. The quality of the work was awesome. Chris doesn’t rush thru the job. He takes the time to do it right. His repair and modification work was perfect and then the finishing work was perfect as well. Chris isn’t just some guy who does some drywall work. He is a drywall expert who does first rate work. His price was fair and reasonable. On top of all that Chris is a really nice guy. I would definitely hire Chris again and I definitely recommend him.

I spoke with Chris yesterday about my repair. He had me send him a picture of the damage via a text message and immediately gave me a price and date/time he could come out - which was the very next day!! Chris showed up on time and covered the area to avoid any messes. He completed the repair very quickly. The wall he was repairing is covered in knockout. When I came to inspect his work, I was amazed. Chris is a Picasso of knockout and drywall! The match to the rest of the wall is outstanding. I highly recommend Chris for your drywall repairs and I will certainly use him in the future for any repairs I need. His price was extremely reasonable and I truly appreciate his expertise!

Chris Welch came by on a Sunday to give us a price on replacing drywall cut out by plumbers rerouting a leak in our master bath. My wife and I still work and Chris suggested a following Sunday to do the repair. He came in the rain and finished in the rain 3 hours later. We found him on Angie's List last year and hired him to fix drywall in laundry room from a roof leak. Did not expect to need his services so soon, but after living in home for 20 years things happen. He does a great job, he cleaned , scrubbed, and vacuumed before he left.

Called Drywall Doctor on a Saturday and he came out Sunday afternoon for a quote. Based on all the positive reviews and the fact that he said he could start the work the next day we hired him for the job. He showed up early the next morning with all materials and was ready to work. He worked really hard all day without a break. He ended up finishing the job in one day and the work was great. One room had a unique texturing and he was able to match it so that it blends. After we primed and painted the walls you can't tell where the repairs were. Even the city inspector upon final inspection commented how good a job the drywall repair was. Overall very happy with the responsiveness, professionalism and work ethic of the Drywall Doctor.
Description of Work: Had 5 large areas where drywall was cut out for plumbing repairs/repipe along with several spigots that were moved and holes that needed patching.

I could not ask for a better experience. The estimate was given the day after contact, a schedule made for a few days later and Chris showed up on time and finished on time. His work was excellent and his clean-up thorough. The price was reasonable for the time and work involved. This is clearly an expert who knows his craft. I would definitely use again and highly recommend.
