Showed up to give us an estimate and told us when he would be able to begin the work. Began the project when he said he would. The job had to be done in two phases so had to come back another day to finish the work. All dates and times were as he stated. Very clean and professional.
Description of Work: Drywalled the ceiling in our master bath.

All phone communication was done in a timely matter and true to his word. Arrived when stated and did the work with ease and expertise.
Description of Work: Wayne Ables purchased the materials needed and did the work himself. He placed drywall where once was a french door, and prepared it to be ready for paint. One side needed extra care to hide the once opening in a large formal room with lots of natural sunlight.

I went on Angie's list and found Able's Drywall. He was able to come over the same day and when he saw that the job was pretty small, he said he could come back over later in the day to fix it up. He was punctual, friendly, and professional. The drywall still looks good a year later.
Description of Work: I had a leak that had messed up the drywall in my ceiling. I had repaired the leak and wanted to get the drywall fixed.

Wayne returned my call only a couple hours after I'd left a message for him and came out to give us a quote the same day. His quote for the work was lower than the other estimates we received. He was prompt, did beautiful work, was very accommodating to our busy moving schedule, and even ended up fixing another small problem that we'd forgotten to mention to him during the original estimate at no additional charge. Wayne is very pleasant and professional and was a welcome presence in our home. He cleaned his work area after finishing. While he was doing drywall repair for us and we were chatting, we discovered his other skills with tile, carpet and painting, so ended up having him give us quotes for some other minor repair work that needed done. We recommend Wayne without reservations and will hire him again for any work that is within his considerable skill set.
Description of Work: We had some ceiling drywall that needed fixed due to plumbers chasing down a leak. He did such an excellent job and was so pleasant to talk to that while he was there for the drywall repair, we discovered that he also does tile and carpet work and painting. We ended up hiring him to come out again in order to repair a broken tile, re-carpet a step, and repaint a wall where the plaster had cracked.

Overall this project went very well and very fast. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family.
Description of Work: Called Ables Drywall about water damage to my kitchen ceiling from the above bathroom. First call was answered promptly and I was given the owner's mobile number. Called the owner, Wayne Ables, who took my call first attempt, then set up an estimate appointment later that same day. Mr. Ables was right on time and, after agreeing to his offer, we set up another appointment for the following day. Again, he was on time and completed the work in about two hours. Work included stripping the ceiling's drywall joint, applying an aerosol sealer, repairing drywall, applying two coats of Kilz Sealer and, finally, two coats of ceiling white paint. After the project dried, it was very evident that the work was of high quality. The finished product was smooth and blended very well.

Every time has has done work for us it has gone very well.
Description of Work: We have had Wayne do a number of jobs for us over the last couple of years- he tore out and removed all the paneling, damaged drywall and ceiling in a room, replaced with new drywall, plastered, painted. He has done some small masonry work for us and some woodworking. He replaced a rotted ceiling on a back porch, installed lighting and painted. We have had him out three different times and always his pricing is reasonable and he does a good job. If he brings someone to help him they do their work and are respectful of your property. He is friendly, easy going and dependable. If we needed some work done we would not hesitate to call him again.

We were in a big hurry to get all this work done for a number of reasons and Mr. Ables rearranged several things to help us out. He did a fantastic job of everything he took on, showed up exactly when he said he would every time, and delivered on everything he promised. Mr. Ables has done several smaller jobs for us in the past (drywall mostly) and always is reliable and professional. We recommend him highly and will be calling him again!
Description of Work: Mr. Ables installed insulation and drywall in a small bathroom, tiled a small kitchen floor, and repaired a previous contractor's poor drywall work on a high cathedral ceiling. He also replaced a large section of our dining room ceiling under an upstairs bath that had leaked and damaged the ceiling extensively.

It did not go well due to failure to reach company when I needed the service.
Description of Work: Never was able to reach the provider-phone number listed was incorrect. I found someone else through my office. The provider later called and said his number was wrong on some sites etc. At any rate, it was a frustrating first experience with Angie;s list for me!!!

Wayne came over and gave me an estimate right away and he completed the job soon after. I had a roof leak; part of the living room ceiling and the plaster over the fireplace needed to be replaced. It was a messy job, but he cleaned up so well, you would never have known he was there. It was also a great price for the work. I would highly recommend Wayne.

Wayne Able is a great person to work with. His crew was fast, responsive and responsible. After meeting them, we felt comfortable letting them work in our home without our presence. The drywall was hung quickly and they stayed late several days to insure the work was finished. Despite problems with road access and flooding they completed the job quickly and as promised. Mr. Able even did extra knee wall work that was not in the original agreement for no additional charge. For the size and scope of the job, they did a good job of clean-up. Again, Wayne and his crew were friendly, honest and hard working. I would recommend them to anyone and will use them again.

More time to complete than expected.
Description of Work: They did Drywall of basement remodel. They covered several vents and did not cut out. Work around outlet boxes and switch boxes was sloppy and required rework. However other than those two items the work was good.

I got three estimates and went with Ables. In their estimate it sounded like they would have done the job differently then the way they did it. We wanted him to smooth out the wall but instead he put up a piece of board so you can tell that the wall was damaged and we had it repaired. I am not sure if the other guys would have done the job differently so I am not angry, I am just not 100% satisfied. He did do work on two other walls and did great it was just that one wall that did not end up well.
Description of Work: Ables repaired a wall to make it smooth. They just did plaster work on some walls.

Wayne was very punctual, courteous and fast worker. He did what he promised and showed up when he promised. The platform he made for my washer/dryer is perfect size and makes getting clothes in/out easier. Will definately use him again. It is a pleasure to work with someone that actually shows up when they say they will as we all have crazy schedules these days.

I felt the charges were quite fair, so I agreed to have Ables do the work. He not only did a good job, he even did a little extra work that wasn't in the original estimate, and didn't charge me any more for it. I would definitely hire him again.

We spent under $1,000 and we were reasonable. We liked that they were pleasant to work with and we trusted them being in our home. Their work was comparable to what we paid for. We would also tell others that they were accommodating. It seems like the job was done in a reasonable amount of time. They were late when they came and did the work.

The first time he came in it was on really short notice during Fourth of July weekend and he came out and did it right away and finished the work the same day. When I called the second time he came out in a day or two and also finished the work in one day. It wasn't perfect but it was just as good as anyone else would have done and I think he did a really great job. I am somewhat of a perfectionist.
Description of Work: Ables Drywall came twice to do two jobs totaling $500.00. He patched in some drywall because I had some holes in the ceiling.

Wayne gave a good estimate and I got the feeling from him that his work would be top notch. It was. The walls which had hundreds of nail holes and imperfection came out great. He stayed on schedule for the most part. Some times the cell phone conversations seemed awkward and a little underprofessional, but I guess when you have a good reputation you can get away with it. Great job Wayne, we will use you again
Description of Work: Wayne fixed the plaster in 3 rooms of our house. Patched holes, corners and did a skim coat over the entire surfaces.
