Response from TAK Drywall Specialists Inc
Hi, I hope you receive this email quickly. I just received the report stating I did not respond to your request for a quotation; well, I just checked my Outlook Express and it shows my proposal went out the same day I created it which was the day after I visited your job site. I will be contacting you in the morning to straighten this out in person, but would appreciate your husband checking his spam folder to see if it is there. Thanks for checking. Tom

They are probably not the cheapest but you tend to get what you pay for and if you use this company, you will not have to worry about your project being done correctly. With that said, the project went very smoothly. All appointments were kept, the crew was careful, clean, and respectful. The company and employees did an outstanding job and I would highly recommend them. I have used them for other minor work and will continue to use them going forward.

Tom visited the site prior to quoting. He spent a fair amount of time assessing the project and discussing the details. The key motivator in selecting TAK was Tom's understanding of his trade and willingness to make helpful suggestions throughout the process. For example, he showed how he could use wider wall board to give me several extra inches of ceiling height. His advice was not limited to just the drywall but to many other aspects of my project such as how to cut away around the stairs, details of ceiling installation, etc etc. While his mainstay is drywall and ceilings, he's well versed in other aspects of construction. I'm glad I had someone who was able/willing to think outside the box instead of simply implementing my plan. (I did my research but I'm not experienced in construction.) As to the actual job, Tom and his crew did a great job. They apply 3 coats of mud (many drywallers just do 2 coats) and the finish is near perfect. The area under the steps was a bit tricky and they took the time to make it look great. The area around the furnace/AC was very tight, yet they got the wall board in and affixed. I appreciate how tough this was to do now that I'm painting it. Tom quoted 6 days but was finished in 5 days. And, he did this without cutting corners or compromising on the quality. The other quotes I got were for 2-3 weeks. Tom's price was about 5% higher than the lowest quote I got but was much lower than the highest bid. When I do another drywall project, I'm not sure I'll even mess with quotes. I'll just call Tom. I know I'll get a fair price and top quality and service.

Excellent quotation, scheduling and installation processes. Tom met every commitment that he committed to. TAK's tradesmen are professional and efficient. They started the job at 7:30 (was on time) and completed by about 2PM. The job was a fair price and quality work. Quite frankly, no bad experience in the entire process.
Description of Work: Dry-walled a 25x20 two car garage. Installed four walls and ceiling with 5/8" drywall and insulated walls. Put one coat of mud over seams. Upgraded from R13 to R15 in the walls.

Tom called promptly after I submitted my request. He was able to quote the job over the phone without even seeing the room. I signed a contract and had new drywall up within a week. Tom and his crew did a wonderful job as there were some challenging areas around the fireplace and built in TV. Another big plus was that I didn't lose my internet service, as it is all wired through that room. Tom even mopped the floor on the last day to keep the dust down. Very professional company, worked consistentally (not off a day here or there), kept to their price. Would highly recommend them!

We were thoroughly pleased with the finished product. The price was as quoted with no hidden fees. They were very fair and a great value for our dollar.
Description of Work: They delivered and installed drywall to a second story bonus room. The delivery was on time and they used the second floor window to bring in the drywall materials. This greatly minimized dirt and mess in our home. The crew showed up as promised to install, tape and mud the dry wall. They did a great job as well. The second, final coats of mud and sanding was done by the owner. They vacuumed and cleaned up extremely well.

Tom called me back the next morning after I called, he came out within a day to look at the job, he had the estimate back the same evening and asked important questions so we both were clear on his work to be done. Tom and his guys showed up when they said they would, were very professional in the way they worked and did a good job cleaning up before they left. I look forward to doing business with T.A.K. Drywall again!!

Tom arrived on time to look over the scope of the work and described options. Within three days he faxed us his bid. He and his men arrived on time and did exactly what they said they would do. Their punctuality amazed me. The work was finished exactly to spec. They kept the dust to a minimum.
Description of Work: T.A.K. Drywall did two chores for us. One was to completely drywall a small room which had nothing but studs. The other task was to replace a door-sized section of drywall that had been damaged beyond repair.

I was extremely happy with the way that this company performed. Tom (the owner) came out of his way to look at my place right away and I had a quote in my hands within 24 hours. Once the job was approved they were able to begin two days later. The crew was extremely nice and they were great people to have around and were always on time. There were two crews that came in, one that framed and the other that completed all the sanding and finish coats. They really worked hard on keeping my house clean by using a dustless sander for all but the finish coats. I would highly recommend using this company. They are a truly a top notch company that is truly service oriented!

I spoke with and received quotes from several vendors about this work, but felt most comfortable with Tom, since drywall is his specialty. The work they performed was of very high quality, and they did it quickly, too. His staff was very friendly and trustworthy. His bid was about 10% more than the cheapest bid I received, but it was worth the additional cost knowing I'd get great work. I would definitely use him again.
