Description of Work: We had some water damage from the shower. Not wanting to wait until I had some free time, I contacted some sheetrock people on Angie's list. One of the companies was A-1 Ceiling Specialists. Unfortunately, they only do ceiling texturing. I was able to do the repair and taping myself, so I called Larry Forsman from A-1. Larry was able to make a commitment for the following week,but I was not available For the time we had planned. Larry got a hold of me that same day and made another time the next week. He arrived on time, set up immediately, did a superior job matching the the original texture and blending it into the next room, and cleaned up everything. I am very particular and larry's work was exceptional.

Description of Work: Called Larry at A-1 on Wednesday, he called right back. Came by to give an estimate on Thursday and did the work (amazingly!) on Saturday. He did a great job and it was as fast as the process. My old house had a lot ceiling cracks so it required texturizing which I really don't like. Larry was kind to texturize as little as possible and use a flat paint to make it more subtle. His reviews were glowing and I can see why. Nice guy, quick turnaround and great work. Thumbs up!

It went very well.
Description of Work: We had a bathrooom ceiling that had some kind of damage from excess humidity. Larry from A 1 came out and he was wonderful. He explained exacly what had to be done and said he would try and come back two days later to fix the problem. He came back two days later did a PERFECT job and left our bathroom spotless. We were very pleased.
