We had a dryer vent that had ruptured more than 1 seam due to a dryer repair. The vent ran across the lower level ceiling along the floor joists. Due to the solid ceiling in the lower level multiple holes needed to be cut to repair the vent. JC Drywall was contacted to quote on the repair of the ceiling and to match the texture of the current ceiling. Jim was prompt and courteous in the quote process. The quote was itemized and detailed. Due to some timing issues it was many months until we were able to fix the ceiling. Jim recalled the quote and was able to get us an updated quote based on increase in potential supply needs. We set up a timeframe for the repairs. Jim arrived on the scheduled date, he put plastic down and hung up plastic barriers to the rest of the home, used drop clothes to keep the carpets and stairs clean. The repairs took 1 day longer than anticipated as the drywall compound did not dry as anticipated. The ceiling looks great and there is no visible signs of the holes that were cut. Jim did a very good job. Jim was also came in under the quoted price. The only category that we couldn't give an outstanding rating to was punctuality. Each day Jim was slightly behind the time quoted to arrive, however it wasn't a major issue to us, and we would recommend JC Drywall for other Drywall needs.
Description of Work: Patched and retextured holes in Ceiling. JC Drywall, scraped, framed and patched 4 holes in bedroom ceiling including a closet ceiling. JC Drywall then retextured the entire ceiling to ensure a match throughout the entire room.

Never got started, as they were a no show on the appointment time. They are "very busy" at this time.
Description of Work: This company was very responsive to the emails I sent requesting an estimate. I came home from work to meet them at 2:30 on a Friday afternoon. They were a no show, and a no call. I dropped them an email explaining my disappointment and got an immediate call stating they "forgot" and would come right out. And, then they asked me for my address again. No show, no call and no idea who I was or where my home was located.

As always, we try to accomadate all clients. At the time of my correspondance with this client there was aplan to meet with him withon a week. Business picked up extensivly that week and our scheduler failed to place on the scedule. This happens sometimes. We are only human. However i did offer to come right out to look at the project. Reason i asked for addeess was that i was no site and did not have access to their info. This person was quite rude and did not allow me to explain what happened. He became quite short with me and said to forget it. Never in twenty years of doimg tjis have i been treated that way by a potential customer. If i could give out grades this person too eould have received an F! There fore just to let yoi lnow. We do not operate that way. Every client receives our best service to the best of our ability and we feel we should mot be judged by someone who has no patience or understanding of certain unexpected situations beyond our control.

I thought they did fine. I thought their price was a little high considering the length of time of the job. It didn't take them very long to do the job and we paid almost $600 for the job. It seemed like a fairly high price for the level of work.

We had a 3PM appointment for an estimate on some drywall work. We were here and waiting and no one showed up. Finally I called his phone and got voicemail. I left a message. He called me back about a half hour later. It's now 4PM on a Friday evening and we have postponed our plans waiting for this company. He says he's sorry, but he "lost" our number and is stuck in Eagan and will not be able to make it out. He also had no time next week.

This Gentleman was Very difficult to work with in trying to schedule a meeting. What Some homeowners do not realize, is that we also have a schedule we need to keep with our existing clients. We cannot always meet everyones expectations, Especially when we are already overloaded with work. I tried to schedule a meeting with him for early morning or late afternoon after five. He stated that He could only meet at 3:30 p.m. I told him that unless he could meet me at the times I gave him I would not be able to look at it since I was in Eagan working and under a time constraint to finish the job that week, He stated that it would have to be that 3:30, and that he was waiting, and I ruined his plans. I apologized up and down, yet he would not accept my apology, even after i tried to re schedule. I finally told him he would need to look elsewhere for a drywall contractor, and I would not be able to meet with him. I did Nothing wrong to this person-unless you call being loyal to my customers, and honest to potential clients and saying it like it is, being wrong. I will always meet with a potential client. If i cannot make the appointment I will call and re schedule. I actually had mis-placed his number. It turned out that I wrote it on a peice of paper that was left on my desk that morning, So i was un able to call. Again I am sorry if I could not please this person, If you look at our record, I would say all "A"s and one "F" in 4 years of service is Pretty good. Thakyou for your understanding in this matter. Sincerely, Jim Carlson JC Drywall

The bid was for approximately $3200. It was within the range of the other bids that we got, and it was fine. However, we decided to go with another company as they were able to do the framing as well as the drywall.

I had multiple severe drywall and ceiling issues and my home is only 3 years old. I previously had the builder out a total of 5 times. J.C. Drywall provided amazing service. Corners were taped properly with the right tape. Ceiling issues fixed so they are barely noticeable. Plastering was done with noticeable skill. All issues were fixed to perfection and on time within the estimate. It was a huge relief. I highly recommend J.C. Drywall

He did an amazing job. I picked him because of an Angie's list report describing him as an "artist". I have to agree. The work was way more involved than I anticipated but well worth the effort. No one is able to tell where the existing wall stops and the new wall starts. The job took multiple trips and the entire job was finished within a week. Jim stands behind his work and doesn't stop until the customer is completely satisfied.
Description of Work: Reconfigured opening between dining and living rooms to add architectural interest. I did the framing, board and taping work. I asked Jim to help with the finishing and blend the new work with the existing wall. This was a small job but he was more than willing to take it on.

I had received a bid through a personal referral and I sought 2 others through Angie's List. Jim's was a day or so late but was much less than the previous bid, so I hired him. He started immediately. He and the people that he retained did excellent work. They were very professional, courteous and conscientious. They made a significant effort to reduce the "mess" that naturally accompanies such work. The second bid came in a few days after Jim had started. It was slightly lower but I was very happy with Jim, his work and his relative punctuality. The slight difference in price was negligible compared to my satisfaction with Jim, his work and his desire to do things right.
Description of Work: Drywalled walls & ceiling in a large bedroom & closet were tapped and mudded and the ceiling was textured to match adjacent rooms.

Jim's was the lowest bid and he was also one of the friendliest guys I met in the bidding process. He kept on schedule and did a great job. He was flexible to let me buy materials and hang the sheetrock myself, and when the hanging got to be too much for me he had a crew over right away to finish for me. They made one mistake rocking over one smoke alarm box which I didn't notice until the whole job was done. I called Jim and he came back several times to find it and patch everything up again. One of the best contractors I worked with on my whole project.
Description of Work: Sheetrock and fire tape for a three car garage, and sheetrock and full finished taping for the stairwell and 950 sq ft apartment upstairs. I supplied the material and his sub hung, and Jim did the taping himself.

The work went very well. Jim was helpful in answering questions and prompt in submitting a revised proposal with changes we requested. He even came and remeasured our basement when his bid came in higher than the others. He and his workers did an excellent job with hanging; taping and applying the texture to the walls. An extra effort was made to try and block drywall dust from other areas of the house. Jim also let us know what the timeline of the project would be and made every effort to keep to the timeline. The project did get a little delayed due to the humidity in the basement which slowed down the drying process, but Jim put in hours on the weekend to complete the project timely.
Description of Work: Basement remodel. Price included drywall, drywall delivery, removal of drywall scraps, hanging, taping, orange peel texture application and a general scape and sweep of floors.

Identified JC Drywall through Angie's List and had them, along with several others, provide quotes to complete the garage sheetrock taping/mudding/sanding. Jim Carlson came out, measured the garage and returned a quote within a few days of initial contact. His pricing was not the lowest, but in the bottom 1/3 of quotes received. Wrote him an email to advise him that I had selected his firm to do the work. Unfortunately he did not see the email and I called him several days later to follow up. We set the date that they would begin work which was within two weeks of our conversation. They started the job one day later than scheduled due to other jobs running longer than anticipated, but worked diligently to complete prior to the weekend that I had scheduled to have the garage painted. Quality of the work was excellent.
Description of Work: My new house had the 3 car garage sheetrocked, but only taped with the first layer of mud, thereby meeting fire code. JC Drywall completed taping and mudding to a point where I could paint the walls. As the original taping was not done well, it required JC Drywall to pull out and replace some of the tape throughout the garage before they could complete layers 2 and 3 of mudding/sanding.

Excellent. Phone call returned promptly. Appointment set for bid quote. Jim is courteous, professional and knowledgeable. We reviewed the project, he laid out all aspects of job. Pointed out other areas of concern and included them in his estimate. Jim was very punctual, timely and paid extreme attention to detail, including cleaning and covering during his job. He also did his best to allow us to live with plastic sheeting by rolling it up after each work session. The job was well done, and the knock down ceiling matches the existing perfectly. We are well impressed with his craftsmanship and efforts. Not only that, but he is very personable. We felt good having him work on our home.

IN MOST CASES, WE DO NOT COVER FLOORS PRIOR TO THE DRYWALL PHASE. WE WILL COVER ANY AREA'S THAT ARE REQUESTED BY OUR CUSTOMERS. IN THIS CASE, THE JOB WAS A GARAGE. IN THE SIXTEEN YEARS OF BEING IN BUSINESS, WE HAVE NEVER HAD TO COVER A GARAGE FLOOR UNLESS IT WAS GETTING A SPRAYED CEILING. WE WILL HOWEVER COVER A GARAGE FLOOR, OR ANY FLOOR FOR THAT MATTER, WITH ROZIN PAPER PRIOR TO TAPING. WE WILL MAKE THE SUGGESTION AND PERFORM THIS TASK IF THE CUSTOMER REQUESTS IT AT THE INITIAL MEETING. WE ALSO OFFER (AS AN OPTION) SCRAPING AND SWEEPING OF FLOORS AT COMPLETION OF SANDING. DUE TO THE FACT THAT DRYWALL DUST IS VERY FINE, IT MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IT ALL, UNLESS YOU USE A VACUUM ON THE FLOOR, OR A BUCKET OF WATER AND A MOP. WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO DO THIS. THOUGH USUALLY WHEN WE DISCUSS IT, THE MAJORITY OF OUR CUSTOMERS CHOOSE TO DO THAT SERVICE THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY. THANK YOU.
