Wayne was prompt with an estimate, accurately described what he would do and did the work quickly in about four hours over two days. Work area was tarped, any mess was minimal and Wayne cleaned up behind himself. He was courteous and his price was fair. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Had cracking and some loose plaster in the finish coat in our kitchen ceiling and some uneven patches in the kitchen walls. Wayne Ables removed any loose material, patched everything and then did a skim coat. We now have a smooth ceiling and walls.

Gave me a estimate and in the process of scheduling the repairs he noted my limited availablity so he cleared his schedule and did the repairs the same day as the estimste. The work was to make the drywall and quot;paint readyand quot; and it was.I had to do no addtional touch-up or sanding. It was immediately apparant that his goal was not to get the job done as fast as possible, so he could go home or on to the next job, but rather to take as long as necessary to ensure the job was done to the quality specified. He also cleaned up afterward. Very, very good experience.
Description of Work: Repaired drywall where the drywall was cut open to repair broken pipes (3 differnt locations in the house)

We had a leak in our roof. After having it fixed we had an awful mess of our plaster wall. It was a custom design dating back to 1923. Two other attempts to fix this area were failures. We had called out a few other companies thankfully they were honest enough to admit that they couldn't fix it to its original condition. Able Dry wall came out and said they could fix it cleaned all the ruined material off. They informed us that it need to dry out before they could repair it. Over the course of the next three months they came out a number of times and tested the moisture content of our wall and it still wasn't sufficiently dry. We placed a dehumidifier next to it on their recommendation and a few weeks later it was ready for repair. This wasn't a simply repair they were swirls in the plaster which they duplicated with great skill. We are very happy that our living room is finally returned to its original state. We would highly recommend.

I called Wayne on a Thursday night, he met me Friday morning to look at the job and give me a price. He came back the next day and completed the work. Wayne was very professional and did a great job with little mess. A was getting jerked around by another guy trying to get something scheduled and Wayne went out of his way to work my small job into his schedule.

I called that week that I was looking them up. They came out and gave me a quote within a couple of days and they got the drywall work and got started at the end of that week. I liked them well. They did a good job overall. They did what they said they were going to do and they got it done in a timely manner.

Response from Ables Drywall
I dont understand ! When I gave you my estimate you stated I was about $500 less than others,My estimated included the glass being finished in its design ,the other quotes wanted to put solid glass without the original woodwork,I quoted this job a year ago and didn't change my price.When I finished the job wich included not only the door with glass but also repaired plaster on walls,You were were satisfied with work and the price.If there is something we need to discuss feel free to contact me .Thanks ,Wayne Ables

As stated above I think it would have gone well based on my experience and Wayne's professionalism.
Description of Work: I called the day before and Wayne came to give me an estimate the next day. While I did not go with him for the project he was very nice and professional. He followed-up quick and gave me an estimate on the spot which I liked by no one else did. The only reason I did not use his services was due to timing issues on my part. Otherwise, his price was less expensive than the other estimates I received. Will call for future projects and recommend to others.

Ok. I hired Wayne to do a job I did not have time to do myself. I expected better quality than I could have achieved on my very own,but I am not sure I got that. He did a mediocre job and quot;cutting inand quot; the paint and missed some areas, I am not even sure he tried. Overall, I am pretty disappointed given the substantial amount paid and very average quality. UPDATE: The patch will have to be redone as the drywall tape is already peeling. I've discovered additional areas he missed/did a poor job cutting in. And many of the and quot;nail popsand quot; that he repaired are now indented (i.e., not the flat surface it should be). As such, I have revised the rating down. Very disappointing.

Mr. able came out the same morning we called for an estimate and started the next day. It took them a little longer than originally planned as the ceilings had been painted and made the whole process a bit more difficult, but they showed up evenings and even weekends to finish up the project. They kept it as clean as the process would allow and cleaned up after they were through. Our ceilings look great and just need a coat of paint to finish them off!

He returned our call promptly. Gave an extremely fair estimate compared to our first estimate. He arrived on time and cleaned up after every day he was here. He was a friendly, talkative fellow but also extremely efficient with his work.
Description of Work: Mr. Ables repaired the holes caused by the plumbing company replacing our leaking copper pipes. There were a number of spots he repaired and he did it without sanding! Cleanup was a breeze and we really appreciated that.

Wayne performed an estimate a couple weeks before starting the work and that is what we paid. He said it would take a week, it ended up taking 7 days or so but he performed a couple extra services for no additional charge. We did have to spend about $500 extra on a plumber to repair a rusted drain coming out of the upstairs bathtub in the ceiling and some electrical work. Wayne also installed a vent in the bathroom which was not part of his original estimate and replaced an existing vent in the other bathroom and connected them both properly to vent to the outside (not part of estimate). He was quite knowledgeable and easy going. We had drywall ceiling installed in a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen (they previously had drop ceiling with plaster ceiling in disrepair). He recommended simply putting drywall over the plaster since the plaster was in such disrepair. He also repaired the walls in the 1-1/2' gap between where the drop ceiling stopped and the actual ceiling ht. The one issue we did have was with the seems in the drywall in some areas. After painting, you could still see some of the seems that weren't sanded down properly. However, we determined that you could really only tell if you looked at it closely and in certain lighting. When it was darker you could see the shadowing. However, I acknowledge that I'm quite picky. Especially when spending over $2000. The other estimate we received was more than 3 times the estimate we got from Wayne so in the end, we were quite pleased. It's a definite improvement over what we had previously. Also, it is quite an old house and hard to get everything perfect.

He answered phone promptly, came out and met with us at the appointed date and time, gave us a free estimate, and a time frame for completion. He showed up when he said he would, did what we agreed to and did a GREAT job. He was respectful and professional. He runs his small company like they and quot;did in the dayand quot; when workers took pride in their work and did a great job.
