Bill Livingston Inc

Bill returned my call the day I left a message for him. We scheduled an appointment for the same day. Bill arrived on time and we went through all the work we needed. He prepared a quote, and said that he could start the same week. My wife and I discussed the quote and decided to use Bill (after much research on Angie's List.) Bill and his employee Dale, arrived on time and ready to work. They put protective paper over the woof floors and masked all areas for protection. Then the work began. They started with the 20' high ceiling in the stairway and worked their way down. Dale moved through the work area by spinning on a bucket of mud, not only entertaining, but very efficient! Once the joint compound was complete, they prepared for the texture. Our house is over 50 years old with ~20 coats of paint, matching texture can be next to impossible. They did it! They cleaned up the tools and supplies,removed all the protective paper, vacuumed and swept. We are very pleased with the work Bill Livingston did and are planning to use him on our next project.

Bill came in and gave us an estimate. Was able to schedule the work for later the same week. They did a fantastic job and matched the texture perfectly! They were prompt, courteous and great to work with! Would use him again in a heartbeat!

Bill was really helpful with a matter in my condo and also talked with a board member to assist me. I will need some dry wall repair but first need a concrete issue in the building handled. I will use Bill when I am ready to proceed with my repair job. Thanks Bill for being so nice.

Bill returned my call immediately , came over to my house and gave us an estimate. I immediately hired him because not only was his estimate fair he seemed and is a genuine nice working man that appreciated our business. He and his crew did an incredible job removing the popcorn and texturing the ceiling. All rooms were left spotless. I am very happy with this job and would not hesitate to hire his company again as I plan to . You will not be disappointed. From start to finish very professional.

I called Mr. Livingston so he could come out and give me a quote on all the work that needed to be done, he came out the very next day. After receiving a few quotes and reading reviews on Angie's List I decided that he would be best for the job at hand. 3 business days later he was able to start the work which would take all day. My floors were covered with paper, furniture and surrounding areas were also covered to protect it from spills, sprays etc. ALL my ceilings look brand new, the work completed was of an extremely high standard. It looked quite a mess at one point and I was worried about how much cleaning I would have to do that night. To my surprise it looked like they were never there, absolutely no cleaning for me to do whatsoever!!!! Mr. Livingston came to the house to inspect the work and to make sure I was happy with it before payment was requested. I HIGHLY recommend using this company, don't even waste your time getting other quotes!

Fantastic, from start to finish! From the estimate to the finished job, just delightful. The crew was super clean and neat. Our home looks just perfect. Thanks for specializing and doing such a great job!

It was Nightmare On Elm Street, I removed the wallpaper from one bath and it went ok some damage but for the most part not too bad. I removed a soffett and left a big hole. So then I thought lets do the other bath. I don't really know what it was, no prep, different drywall something. The biggest piece of paper to come off was 3". Not only did it take 4 times as long I messed the walls up so bad I thought I would have to replace one or two. I called 3 guys from Angies. One I had used before but was 2 weeks out. The second was coming on Friday. Bill came the next day quoted and said they could do it Friday. I gave him the job. Well good thing for me it was Bill I picked. Dean and Brittney showed up the next morning and within 10 minuets I knew this guy knew what he was doing. Dean told me it happens and you never know how the first job was done. He took it in stride and went to work. These two worked 9 hours without a lunch break. We were very impressed with how hard they worded. The 2nd bath was hard for this EXPERT to get all the gouge marks to lay right to be unseen. Let me tell you it looks great and we could not be happier that we used Bill, Dean and Brittney. GREAT JOB

Mr. Livingston gave us the estimate. He said he would also touch up other parts of the ceiling. It took about 4-5 hours to do the repair work. The men really knew what they were doing and were committed to fine workmanship! We were very pleased with the outcome.

The call to the company, the estimate and the work all happened within a week. The team did a great job! They removed everything from the garage during the prep, and covered absolutely everything to protect it from any mess. The garage ceiling looks great, and the prep/clean up was impressive!

Bill was prompt in returning my request for service and came out the next day to give me an estimate. He and Dean and Brittney started promptly. Before they started working they covered all the floors and hung a barrier of plastic all around the bathroom to keep the dust and dirt from the rest of the house. They replaced the damaged drywall and scraped the texture off the entire ceiling so the plaster and knockdown all matched perfectly. Dean taped the drywall in the garage and finished it perfectly. My hubby is very particular and he was so pleased with the work Dean did that he told him he was truly an artist. While they worked they cleaned constantly and when they left it was clean as a whistle. It was a pleasure to have Bill and Dean and Brittney do our work and to have tradesmen who take pride in their work. I wouldn't hesitate to have them again and will be sure to recommend them to my associates. Thanks Bill, Dean and Brittney!

We are new to Florida so we relied on Angie's list for referrals. Bill promptly returned our call and was able to quickly come out and provide an estimate while my husband was in town. After meeting with Bill we determined that he was someone I could work with since my husband would be going back out of town. Bill was able to start fairly soon which was great since we needed this work completed before we could bring in other trades. To say that I was impressed with their work is an understatement. Both Bill and Dean are true artists. I am very particular to detail and they made sure that I was satisfied. I said I wanted my house to look like new, and it does. They were always prompt, cheerful and cleaned up after themselves. They really took the worry out of me handling this myself. My husband is happy that I am happy. Thanks to Bill and Dean. They also touched up some other areas with out an extra charge. We have more work planned in the near future and will have Bill and Dean back for that project.

RBill and his helper did a great job and cleaned up after it was over. We were very satisfied.

Very pleased with the quality of the work. Bill and his crew did everything that I asked for even helping with some demo that was not part of the original scope of work. He also took care of removing the debris from the demo which went above and beyond. They left the job site clean and even washed the side walk to remove any drywall dust. This is the second time I have used his services.

Bill returned my call promptly and courteously. We agreed on a good day and time for him to come and assess the damage and provide an estimate. He came right on time and provided an estimate based on the damage that could be seen and also discussed possible unseen damage and how he would handle that possibility at the time the repairs were done. He also used a moisture meter to make sure that the ceiling was dry before deciding to get started on the repair, just to make sure the source of the water was no longer an issue! I really liked his thorough approach, and he explained specifically how the drywall would be replaced, textured, and finished off, how the insulation would be replaced, etc. very clearly. He and Dean came back the very next morning at 9 am and were all done by 3. They kept the work area isolated, protected my wood floors properly, and cleaned up the kitchen and their work areas outside and in the garage. They were able to match the ceiling paint perfectly, and Dean did a great job with repairing, re-texturing and touching up a small area of wall that also had water damage. They did an absolutely wonderful job...you can't even tell there was ever a problem with the ceiling, and you would never know that the kitchen was a "work zone" at all; like they were never there! I totally agree with the other reviews about Bill and Dean having a great amount of pride in their work; it's very obvious based on their work as well as in their warm, friendly, helpful and professional attitude. I would definitely use them again!

They were great. Bill returned my calls from the start. He came and provided a awesome quote. Was able to start quickly and on time. Did a great job on the ceiling and replaced drywall where we took down the soffit in the bathroom. He also touched up a few other odds and ends and did not charge any more. Left the house cleaner than when he started. We will be using him again in the future.

Bill returned my initial call promptly and made arrangements the next day to come to the house for an estimate. Our pool patio ceiling, extending from the main house had several areas of "cracking" and nails "popping" It is also a textured ceiling so any repair work would require the tools/expertise to "match" the current finish. Bill explained that required repairs for outdoor drywall ceilings is very common in Florida. He said it would be a two day job. Bill and Dean were able to begin the repair job the next day. They were both very professional, courteous, good communicators, on-time and great drywall "artists". The overall ceiling repair and textured match looks great. They were very conscientious about not damaging the patio cool-deck, laying down felt paper before proceeding with repair work. On the second day they hung plastic the entire length of the deck on two sides to create a closed "corridor" working area. While sanding/finishing the ceiling the plastic prevented any dust from getting into the house and the pool. Also, the job required removing 3 (very old) ceiling fans. I had purchased new ones and Dean hung the new ones ( I assembled) for me. I am very pleased with their work and will definitely refer others!

This was one of the best home repair experiences I have ever had. Bill was prompt and highly professional and explained fully how he would repair the ceiling damage, a job which someone else had badly botched. He and Dean were extremely thorough and careful with everything in the house and did such a remarkable job in refinishing the damaged part of the ceiling that I cannot tell where the old portion ends and his new portion begins. He and Dean take obvious pride in their work, as well they should. It was a pleasure dealing with them both. I thank them for their excellent work, and Angie's List for providing information about them.

Bill and Dean perform top notch work! The drywall repairs they did large and small match the existing wall EXACTLY! You would never know a repair was done. I very much appreciated Bill and Dean's attention to detail. They were only interested in doing a perfect job. My home was left as clean as one can expect after a large construction job. Last but not least they were very professional and nice! I plan on having them return to my home in the next year to repair a section of my ceiling that was previously improperly repaired.

Some of my Lliving Room's Popcorn texture was coming down so it time for removal. I found Bill Livingston site and called for an estimate. I hired him to do the job, and I'm glad I did. Bill is very professional, and his work is excellent. You won't regret using this company. They finished a day earlier than expected and cleaned so thoughly afterward, that you'd never know they were here. Everything was taped off and covered with plastic so the mess was keep to a minimum. I'll be calling them again to remove the rest of the popcorn ceilings in my home.

Bill responded promptly to my initial inquiry, and we set up a time for him to inspect the needed repairs and provide an estimate. Once the estimate was accepted, the work was scheduled for the following week. Bill and his assistant worked at my house for two days. Their drywall repair process involves numerous steps and products. They take the time to do a quality job and are very pleasant to deal with. I thought the price was very reasonable for the amount of work involved. When the work was completed, they did a thorough clean-up. I would highly recommend this company for any type of drywall repairs.

Bill arrived on time for the estimate. After carefully looking over the job he told us what he planned to do and gave us a few choices as to the final appearance. His friendly manner, professionalism and Angie's list reviews, led to us accepting his estimate. The job was started a week later, as we had been told, and was completed in two days, again according to schedule. The lanai was left very clean following the work. These guys did a great job!

Bill was quick to return my phone call and very eager to come out and give me an estimate on the project we were going to complete. He came out to my property at two different times and was very professional and gave me a fair estimate. Although we decided not to complete this project at the time, he was more than courteous and had great follow through

Bill was very quick to return my initial call for a quote. I got lots of estimates for the work Bill was priced in the middle. I liked his quick response and answers to my questions and the other review on Angies list so went with him. In several areas the ceiling had seperated from the wall or buckled or cracked and needed to be repaired. These repairs were needed in several rooms in our home. We also wanted to replace the popcorn ceiling with knockdown texture. We had engineers working in the home and had to work around their schedules. My husband has a home office so we had to make sure he always had a working office as the remodel was being done. Bill was very flexible and responsive to our changing schedules and kept our needs in mind at all times. He would always call me right back whenever I called to ask questions or make changes to the plans which was often. After the work had started we learned that we had to tear out our master bathroom because we discovered a leak behind the shower wall. We decided to gut the entire bathroom and do a complete remodel while we were at it. Bill and his man Dean took out the soffets and the old shower which had been double cemented in and rebuilt the shower walls with the proper materials and prepared it for new tile. They put in reinforcements where the new grab bars would be installed for extra strength and safety. The work is finished and it turned out really good. Once we get through the holidays we will be taking on the kitchen and den remodel and we will have Bill take out the soffets and popcorn ceilings in that area as well. He listened to all of my concerns and addressed each one as we went along. He retaped all seams in ceilings and used KILZ primer and then two coats of flat white ceiling paint. The ceilings look so clean and sleek it makes a huge difference in look and feel of the home. Bill's sheetrock man, Dean is "salt of the earth" . He has a real talent in working with sheetrock.

They came on schedule to estimate the work .We set up a time and they arrived on time.The old ceiling was sagging and cracked in the florida/sun room and so they removed all the old drywall and hauled it off.Then they cleaned up the area and reinstalled new drywall.They finished the seams with tape/plaster and sprayed on a fine sand texture that we wanted.They were able to slide the drywall above the trim around the perimeter of the ceiling which saved a lot of extra work and money.well done,cant see any seams at all.

Called for quote. Did not return my phone calls.
