it didn't.
Description of Work: I did not use this company. I got a quote and set a date for service but I had to cancel the day before due to a death in my immediate family. He seemed understanding and told me he would call back on a particular day. When he didn't, I called him and left a message. He never responded. Disappointing because he seemed to enjoy what he did and appeared very knowledgeable.

This review comes over 6 months after the your cancellation. It would have been easier to pick up the phone being that you cancelled on me. I know things happen, but we are very busy and all you had to do was call. I Hope you found a solution to your problem. I can live with the "D". I could have lived better with a call. Have a great day

It went great! I contacted David explaining the work I needed him to do. He had me take pictures of the areas needing repair which I then emailed to him. He was able to give me a quote over the phone. David arrived at my house at the scheduled time. He is a very hard worker and extremely skilled at what he does. The repairs were excellent, we are very pleased. I highly recommend David for drywall repairs. He is professional and explains the process very well. I wouldn't hesitate using him again.
Description of Work: Lots of drywall repair! Fixing holes from can light removal, holes in walls, replacing small sections of drywall.

I own a townhome and the noise from the neighbors can get very loud at times. I was looking for a solution to help block the noise. I contacted David about my request and he talked me through my options. He did his research and provided me with a quote for the work within 24 hours. He was prompt to respond and answered all of my questions. He went out of his way to find the special sheet rock as it is not a common product. Once found we set up a day to do the work. All work was completed in 1 day. They laid out plastic and drop clothes to protect the floor and cleaned up all the mess before leaving.

David from ABDrywall came promptly (He was actually pretty booked and made the time to come to our house on Saturday, even though he doesn't usually work on Saturday, to accommodate my work schedule.). He was professional, personable and incredibly skilled at his trade. He told us exactly what to expect, and he did the job quickly and perfectly. No dust, no mess, and he cleaned everything up behind him. His drywall skill is a lost art, and we will definitely use him in the future for any drywall work we need. In the picture provided, the ceiling is still drying, but smooth as glass and ready to paint.
Description of Work: Our electrician installed 6 LED high-hats which replaced a builders grade flouresent fixture. There were many holes in the drywall in the ceiling that needed repair after the install, including an outline of the original fixture pressed into the ceiling drywall. David was contracted to repair the ceiling.

All I have to say is that I never work for , talked to or ever met this Angie's List member. Apparently he left me a message in June ( one I never received ) and got miffed because in his words " You were probably really busy and don't need to do my job " As Judge Judy would say It,s Ridiculous ! " Then he leaves this ridiculous review nearly 5 months later. Those of you who know me know very well I am a great communicator and very responsive. NEVER MET THIS PERSON , EVER!

Everything started off on the right foot. We got to know David and Joe and about their families... All was well until they couldn't keep their original promise to have the bathroom done before my 80 year old grandfather was coming to stay who can not go upstairs to use the bathroom. They never did complete the bathroom. I had to set the toilet and sink myself even though they said they would swing by before starting a new job the next day. Never came back. Since that was my only issue at that point with their work I let it slide. I chose not to write a negative or positive review at that time. Despite being frustrated that they didn't complete that (even though we already paid them in full which included the cost of setting the toilet and sink) everything else went pretty smoothly. The day after we ended up having a leak under the sink where they had connected the pipes. Joe did swing by and fix that issue. Fast forward a few months... We finally got around to painting the ceilings and noticed the pantry room ceiling was cracking and sagging. We sent a text to David asking if he would come look at it (because his last words before leaving the job were "I'm not like the other guys who take off. I've lived here a long time. If you need anything or have problems let me know. We want good reviews to flush those bad guys out.") His reply to my text was (exact text): Hello Natosha yes I will come by and look at that I will not be able to come for at least a week or two if I get a break I will come by or at least I will call you and try to come by but yes I will come by and look at that. Not really sure what's happening there because I used mesh tape on the joints and mesh tape doesn't pull away from the ceiling but either way will make sure that it's taken care of. A few weeks went by and I didn't hear anything. I sent another text and was promised again he would come by. This was in May. It is now July and I've had no contact or an attempt to fix the ceiling. Since David was obviously not making the issue any sort of priority we took it upon ourselves to investigate why it was cracking etc. Turns out there was another leak, this time in the ceiling where they moved the plumbing, and now we have to have the plumbing and ceiling replaced again. Nice guys. They just didn't follow through.
Description of Work: We had asked David and Joe to drywall our kitchen and pantry ceiling which would also require them to move some plumbing (no problem according to them). We liked them so much (initially) that we extended our contract to include them installing our kitchen cabinets, farmhouse sink, and relocating a bathroom from the back of the house to the front of the house.

It is sad that we have to hash it out here, yet I have to defend what is ours.... Since day 1, we called before we showed up, every single day , we arrived early and left after the day was done, we showed up every day, we cleaned the site every day, we communicated with the owners constantly, we advised them on a TON of issues, we saved them from having to call multiple contractors. Owner says we did not finish before the grand parents arrived. Firstly they popped that on us half way through the project, not in the beginning. Secondly we were finished on Saturday, a DAY before the grand parents arrived. Before we left the property and we had completed all the work, we went through everything in detail, and the owners we happy signed off and paid us in full. Thank you. There was a drip under the sink and yes, Joe arrived as promised and made it right immediately ! Months go by and we were contacted by the owner about a tape joint on the sheet rock falling down. ( which does not happen normally ) There was NO mention about any leak what so ever. Yes we were very busy and I dropped the ball in getting back to [Member Name Removed] right away Hence the inflated no so good review. On the last day, the owner was suppose to set tile and grout. She did not. She only set the tile and then went ahead and said she would set the toilet. We instructed her what to do with the bolts. Joe as he always does asks, "Do you have any questions, are you happy with everything ?" They answered yes and we left paid and every one appeared happy. Lastly, when we worked on here drain line which was early on in the job, we had the husband [Member Name Removed], run all the water and flush over and again. We inspected all the pipes and surrounding areas saw that all was well with NO leaks and moved forward and closed the sheet rock. We were on the job EVERY DAY for about two weeks after that and there was NO problems. Yes they are a very nice family but we were just as nice, prompt, professional and clean. We didn't hide anything, we shared our experience, ideas and know how with them every step of the way. Anyone who knows us knows that is the truth. We know some folks will be unsatisfied yet they were awful nice while they paid us and went through all the projects top to bottom. Again, if I need criticism I will accept it and build on it becoming better than the rest. That is what sets us apart. We didn't take any money up front, we didn't scam them in any way we shared our all with this family and yet for them, this was not good enough. Our last attempt to contact the owner was on this day 7/30/2016 with no response. Our goal is to make sure folks are happy with what we do. For our future clients, call us,feel us out,see how we show up, listen to how all will be done and then you decide if we are the right choice. It will be our pleasure to help you out.

It is refreshing to deal with a company who responds promptly and does exactly what they say they will do. If he says he will call, be there or send information at a certain time, you can bet he will do it. I would recommend Dave to anyone who needs this type of work performed. We are very happy with the experience.
Description of Work: Dave came in and finished up the drywall on a bathroom & kitchen remodeling project that we had started. We took it as far as we felt comfortable, then he came in and did the "mud" and finish work to make it "paint-ready".

My dishwasher had flooded the kitchen and water came through the ceiling in the living room below. It could have been worse--the drywall didn't come down but it was soggy and starting to discolor. I called David, and found that he answers the phone himself. He listened to the problem, and told me he can take care of it. Great! He came out that day and looked at it, and we set a date for repairs the next Saturday. David arrived promptly at the time arranged and got to work. First he assessed the condition of the drywall and added many new screws to hold it up. Then he removed old taping and replaced it, and filled all the gaps and nail indentations. A huge positive factor is that David does not need to sand his work. If you have ever experienced drywall sanding, you know how the dust gets into everything and you will be cleaning it up for months to come. David applied three layers of patching compound, the last one so think that it smooths into the surface perfectly. When he finished, I couldn't see any unevenness. Amazing! We have scheduled a return visit for David to paint the ceiling with Kilz (to prevent stains working through paint), and then ceiling paint. David explained everything he was doing and reasons for it, and he takes obvious pride in doing superb work, as he should. I have seen a lot of drywall work, and this is better than any of it. He's a craftsman.

After popcorn ceiling was removed previous repair work and drywall seams were obvious. David was able to smooth everything out. Can't tell where the patchwork was or where the seams are anymore. David arrived on time, explained the process and cleaned up before he left. Takes pride in his work and it shows. Would definitely use him again.
