The crew is Bill, Dean and Brittany. What diligent workers. They were incredible respectful of my house, even though it was obviously in the midst of a remodel, they taped and covered everything. The repair work is absolutely seamless. No indication that the ceiling was ever patched. They started on time and the job was completed when promised, for the price quoted. The workmanship is great. They take pride in their work and you can tell. Everything was vacuumed and cleaned when they left. Two thumbs up! I highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: I'm doing a total renovation on a 1700 sq. ft 1989 townhome I just purchased. The ceilings were a mess. Popcorn on some areas, other areas showed attempted repairs by non-professionals. The living room, which is a long space, had many waves in the ceiling. I had some walls removed and recessed lighting fixtures removed, so repairs to these areas had to be made as well. All ceilings were brought to plain drywall, repairs and patches were made, then finished with a medium knock down.

Bill and Dean did a GREAT job. They are both very pleasant to deal with unlike the other people that came out to give me estimates. Bill came out quickly and I received the estimate the same day. The price was very reasonable for the work done. They were able to start the job the following week and it was completed properly within the estimated time period even though there was a long power outage on one of the days. They also did a great job of cleaning up afterwards. This was only the first part of the job. I am also replacing my kitchen. Bill and Dean will return to do the work on that wall once I have the cabinets and a couple of walls removed. I am very confident that the this project will turn out as well as the first one. I was working on a wall in my garage while they were at my home. Dean was VERY helpful with advice as I was running in to some issues during the process. I highly recommend Bill and Dean.

I feel that you would have to go a long way to find a repair contractor that works harder, has a better crew and pays more attention to detail that this company. Bill gave me a project schedule and a detailed description of the work the were to perform along with a time frame that he completed to the minute. He and his crew were on time every day: they arrived at 9:00 AM, quickly prepared their equipment and didn't stop until it was time to clean-up and go home. Before the left for the day they cleaned up their entire work area and had it ready for start of next day. Did I mention that this was a garage. When work was completed (on-time), I am happy to say that it looked new construction. Bill's pricing was reasonable, his work and attention to detail was very good to excellent. I will recommend him in a heartbeat.

It went very well. He came on time. He covered all vulnerable surfaces. The newly applied textures match the old. Also , he did a fabulous job clearing up--swept, vacuumed, mopped and hosed the front door steps!

Bill and Dean are a breath of fresh air. They do what they say and they do it well. In a day where most providers over-promise and under-perform they do not, in fact they probably undersell what a great job they do. I would consider Bill Livingston Inc to be among the the best contractors I have ever Dealt with. I can say without hesitation that whatever the job takes they will do it and you can rest assured they will do everything possible to insure your satisfaction. All appointments and work were performed on schedule, to specification and on budget. Professionals all the way.

When I first contacted Bill in February. He looked at the falling drywall and told me he would not do the work until I had a roofer inspect the the roof in case there was a leak. It took a while for the roofer to come out and test the roof for leaks. I highly respect Bill for doing the job correctly. He wanted to be sure that his work would not be compromised by a leak. When we were given the ok by the roof company Bill arranged for a date to begin work. He and Dean were at my house promptly on the day and time that was set. They covered the entire garage with plastic and the whole floor with a mat. It took three days to get the job done and it came out beautifully. Not only that, but Bill and Dean cleaned the entire garage so that the only evidence that they were there is the perfect ceiling. Bill even arranged for a painter to contact me to get the ceiling primed and painted. I was very lucky to find Bill on Angies list. In fact I have another job (skylights) pending. You can rest assured that if you hire Bill and Dean you will get a perfect job done on time and well done.

We were able to locate Bill on Angie's list. We called him, and told him our project. He came over the next day, and gave us the estimate. He was able to do our job in a timely manner. We were happy with that in that we have been renovating for a while. Their work is very precise and neat. The walls are amazingly straight and smooth. They are so smooth, in fact, that the texture is light., and hardly necessary. The painter will have a very easy time when he comes. This job was done properly. We did not want to cover up a wall that needed to be fixed, and they fixed it perfectly.. Bill and Dean are very neat, and pleasant to be around. Dean cleaned everything before they left, and even hosed down our front door area. They do not leave a mess when they're finished. I would not hesitate to hire them again. They are professionals, and that shows in all that they do.
Description of Work: Bill and Dean removed and replaced old crooked wallboard in our master bath, and totally straightened it. After the tile work was completed, level and straight, we saw how crooked the wallboard was. We also had wall that had been wallpapered, and then painted over. They removed the remaining paper and made it all smooth, and put a light texture on the whole room including the ceiling.

He came to give estimate when he said he would. The crew came at time and day that he said they would start. They were very careful to protect the walls and floor. They finished when they said they would. When they left, house was as clean or cleaner than when they came. We paid no money up front, paid on day they finished and we were satisifed. They removed pop corn and then redid seams and nails and applied a knock down finish. We also had some wall work where a chair rail Had been and the wall was flat, unfinished drywall and the walls have a sight texture. When he was finished and after we had painted you could NOT SEE where the chair rail had been.

I was dreading having the popcorn removed from the ceilings in our house. But my husband really wanted to have it done, so I begrudgingly went along with it. We took our dogs and stayed in a hotel while Bill and his crew did their thing. They kept us updated on how it was going. We would stop by in the evenings so my husband could check out the progress. When we went back home a few days later, I was expecting to spend the day cleaning up my house. But when I walked in, the house was cleaner than I had left it! It was absolutely amazing. The ceilings now have a beautiful texture and look very up to date. I could not be more happy with the experience.

Bill responded promptly when called for estimate. Explained process and timing. We interviewed several other contractors for the job and ultimately hired Bill because he was more realistic on the time it would take to get the job done right. They arrived on time every day and didn't take lunch breaks. During the job they professionaly dealt with an elevator breakdown and our condo association Once hired he started the job within two days. He and Dean methodically covered everything before starting. They are both perfectionists when it comes to the work. They made sure we were happy at every stage of the job. They always went above and beyond to insure the work was perfect. He suggested an experienced electrician to install the overhead can lights and coordinated the timing with him. The ceiling looks beautiful and we are extremely pleased. They were a pleasure to do business with and we would highly recommend them for any drywall/popcorn removal work.

Bill came out to my house at the time we agreed to, he inspected the damages and was very nice. He explained that he would be in touch with me either that same night or the following day. The next day, my mitigation company ended up pulling out additional drywall, so I called Bill back to let him know that there were some additional areas we would need repairs for, but he didn't answer. I left a message explaining what happened and asked if I could send pictures or if he wanted to come out to look or just add the cost for a couple additional sheets of drywall. I didn't receive a call back, so I called him again either the next day or the day after...I can't remember exactly which day it was, but I left him yet another voicemail. I wasn't expecting lack of follow through from him, but it happened. I'm not sure what the issue was for him not calling me back, but if I don't get a call back after leaving 2 voice mails, I am going to assume that you do not want to accept a job for the repairs in my home. Can't comment on price or quality of work because I did not get to this point with him.

Response from Bill Livingston Inc
My dad died of cancer at the end of Dec. Being the only adult family member here in Florida I had my hand full to take care of things. However, I still managed to run my business, and be a single parent. The This person called be out for an estimate and when I was finished taking pictures, she told me she didn't have the funds to do the job and It would take a few weeks to get the funds and she wanted an estimate to turn into the Insurance company. I stayed up very late that night to complete an estimate on a job that I felt I was very unlikely to get. The next day she called me back to add on more work that would require me to come back, take more pictures and redo my estimate for the insurance company again. Feeling once again that I was wasting my time on a job I was unlikely to get. I focused my time on my other Angie's list customers that needed to have work done now. I do take full responsibility of not calling back. I have just entered into my profile that I do not do insurance estimates. I'm sorry that I did not call you back.. Bill

Arrived on time and handled the project in a very professional manner. Gave me a price on the repairs based on a certain scope of work and when the work required a sheet rock replacement rather than a repair the change was handed very professionally. The work was done extremely well and the employees are extremely courteous. I have been a project engineer for several project and I believe their work was as good as any I have seen in the past. If any work is needed by me in the future I will certainly call Bill.

Everything went very well all the way from the estimate to the completion of the job. Bill came out and gave me the estimate and told me what needed to be done. He was very punctual and as a matter of fact was early. Dean did the repair and is clearly a professional who know his job very well. He did an outstanding job. Even when I thought the wall looked good he kept on until it met his high standards. Bill and Dean both did the cleanup and made absolutely sure they left the area very clean.

Superior craftsmanship and a fair price. Bill Livingston, Inc. did an excellent job, they are very easy to work with and they are always on time. They do what they agree to do and then some. The price did not change and it was fair. Best of all, they do a great job of clean up, a task in itself. We wish to thank Bill, Dean and Denise for an outstanding effort and would give them high recommendations.
