No response after multiple attempts over past 3 months.
Description of Work: This company may be out of business. Wayne Able's answering machine requests that you leave a message, but no return call or response to email is ever given. Update to provider response: Able's never did any work for me, so not sure where his dates are coming from. I had called and emailed for a quote. Since I never got a quote, the work was done by another provider.

Pretty good overall. The patch is smooth and unnoticeable when painted. A little messy on the wood moldings, but overall not bad. We had trouble coordinating time to get the estimate, but once things were set, all went smoothly.
Description of Work: My plumber had to cut a hole in the wall to get to pipes in my bathroom from my dining room. The hole was in a plaster and lathe wall. Wayne came out, patched the hole and textured the wall to look like the original plaster.

The area involved was in an alcove surrounding a bathroom vanity. I was concerned that the old vanity top would need to be removed prior to the drywall repair. When I contacted Wayne he made arrangements to estimate the job that very day! He called me several times to update when he would arrive. His quote was exactly as I had planned. The date for the repair was scheduled at that time. In addition to repairing the damaged drywall, he was able to repair the wall without removing entire top. He repaired the wall so it was smooth and ready to paint. The area was clean when the project was completed. I was very impressed with his responsiveness and professionalism. I will definitely plan to contact Wayne Able for future drywall projects.
Description of Work: Approximately 8 x 5 area of plasterboard that was damaged when wallpaper was removed.

Wayne is great-he is such a nice man-he is an honest hard worker. We always felt comfortable with him in our home. He was always on time (or would call if he would be late) and worked diligently to accommodate to our timeline.
Description of Work: Wayne tore out our old bathroom (to the studs) and took down a wall for bathroom expansion, built new walls and coordinated plumbing through McVey Plumbing (also a great company)--total bathroom renovation--laid floor and shower tiles, etc. Wayne also put in a new ceiling and lighting in our basement, as well as rebuilt one wall.

Mr. Ables came to give only an estimate but completed the work on repairing the ceiling when his price was considered reasonable. In the course of conversation, he was asked if he knew of anyone who could replace a damaged tile in our entry foyer that extended under the woodwork. He said that he could do it if I had a replacement tile which I did. He removed the damaged tile and cleaned the area. He then took the replacement tile to his workshop to cut it to size. He also took a sample of the grout so that he could match the color. He returned the next day and completed the work to my satisfaction.
Description of Work: Repaired ceiling that had been damaged by a water leak. Although not originally scheduled, replaced a damaged tile in entry foyer.

I had several small drywall projects and Wayne took care of them all, within one week of when we first connected.
Description of Work: Wayne did an excellent job and was willing to work with my schedule. We had a little trouble connecting at the beginning--I think his email was down or something--but he did an excellent job.

Wayne showed up on time, and ready to work. He understood how I wanted the drywall around the vent and in the ceiling finished, where as my old drywallers just had a confused look on their faces. He was able to complete the work in a short time, and right on his estimate. We did have some phone mis-communication, before he started the work which set us back one day, but that was my fault and he handled it in stride. Will use again.
Description of Work: Wayne repaired drywall around a vent that was hanging in my basement ceiling. The vent was not hanging evenly so the original drywallers just left a large gap between the vent and the new drywall. Wayne was able to fix the gap, and repair some other misc. spots in the drywall, in less than half a day.

I called Wayne on a Friday for an estimate. He was in the area and came over within a couple of hours. He returned on Wednesday and spent about 90 minutes fixing the area. Cleaned up after himself and was really great about it all.
Description of Work: I had a 6 foot by 2 foot hole and some cracks in my kitchen ceiling from a plumbing repair and water damage. Wayne fixed it very quickly and expertly.

The work looked very good. Another member mentioned Wayne as sort of a one man show, and he is. I always dealt with him and he did the work. The amazing thing was that I wanted the ceiling repair done before Thanksgiving due to company coming over, however, I wanted to wait until the roof work was complete. Wayne told me to give him a call when I was ready. I called him on the Friday before Thanksgiving and he performed the work the following Monday. I think the job was rather complicated but it came out looking great. Wayne is definitely "old school". You'll realize that when you call his house to get a hold of him.
Description of Work: Repaired a large section of ceiling drywall that suffered from leaks. Also covered over holes where two skylights had been taken out.

This is the third time we have used Wayne Ables services. Everything from small repairs to drywalling an entire small house we are rehabbing. Does excellent work. Is responsive and a pleasure to work with. For the above, we had our house on the market and were showing on Wednesday. Called Wayne Monday evening to request his services. He arrived Tuesday morning and completed the repair in a very short time period. The ceiling looked perfect for our house showing on Wednesday. Can't say enough good things about my experiences with Wayne.
Description of Work: We had a leak in pipe in the basement ceiling. Had to remove large section of ceiling to repair pipe. I called Wayne in the evening and he arrived the next morning and repaired the area. No mess at all. Could not even tell where the repair had been made.

Went well. Mike quoted $150 initially, but only charged $100 when he was done. He said it wasn't as hard as he thought it was going to be. Finished work looks good, and he was flexible about when he could show up.

We got quotes from several places for this job, and this was by far the lowest. They were in and out in one day, and the ceiling looks great. We were a little concerned that the ceiling didn't quite go all the way to the walls, but once we put the moulding up, it was fine.
Description of Work: We had a large hole in our bedroom ceiling from a roof leak. They tore out the sagging drywall and then put a new ceiling over what was left of the old one. They would have painted it, but we opted to do it ourselves to save money.
