Bill Geukes Drywall

In the past I've hired Mr Guekes and he did a excellent job on our ceiling patching a 12 inch area where we removed a wood burning chimney. Expecting the same quality and workmanship he did with that job (about 10 yrs ago), I didn't even consider hiring anyone else. I recently hired Mr Guekes to finish drywall in my bathroom and in another room to finish a window opening and repair swirls (the design) on existing walls where there was damage from removing a wall full of mirrors. The repairs were only circular area damage from removing the glue that held mirrors and screw holes from the tracking. Issues: 1) He didn't cover several of the screw heads with joint compound (in bath). 2) I requested the drywall to be finished all the way to the floor because I would not be installing baseboards (in bath). He ran only a very thin amt. of compound on the drywall near the floor and when I painted it became very evident and is very visible. 3) On the swirled walls where he did the repair type work, he (Mr Guekes himself did this work) mounded the mud too high over most all of the holes, and did not blend into the existing swirl pattern or swirled in a different direction over a swirl and it is visible! I'm looking at a really screwed up pattern now on the repair work, where it was uniform before. 4) In the window opening, he left scratches, which were quite long and deep enough to capture with a camera. 5) He did not fill many screw holes near the floor (above the baseboard on the repair work) on the swirled walls. I saw this on the last day (unfilled screw holes), and mentioned it to him, he said to me "you can do that." Since he was like 1.5 hours late on that day, I was not going to argue with him. Within a day or so, we found the most of the issues and called to ask Mr Guekes to return to correct the work. I sent email with photos as well, that covered most of the issues we could find at that time. He responded with remarks that were not fitting to my complaint. It was like he was not hearing me at all. He finally booked an appointment to return and did not show on that date, but came days later when I was not home and left a note on my door. My swirled walls are not yet painted because I am trying to hire someone else to repair the issues. In the bathroom after I painted I found about 6 or 7 more improperly covered screws that are very visible. They will have to be repaired as will the area near the floor in the bathroom.

When they were finished everything looks fine. They did a wonderful job, it was fresh clean plus they came on time to do their work. The only problem we had was when we had to put our sink cabinet back in, the wall was not exactly plumbed and they had to do some adjustments.

I am getting ready to call him again and have him hang some more sheet rock. He does excellent work.
