Thomas Howell Drywall

Tom was very responsive, came out within 48 hours, and his technicians, especially Ruben, the taper, did a great job. It was a pleasure working with him and I would certainly hire again.

Thomas was prompt and worked very quickly and efficiently. He did the work with a minimum of mess/dust and cleaned up the mess from the project each day. The project took 3 days and he communicated when he as coming each day since the mud had to be allowed to dry. The ceilings looked great after he was done and the walls showed no sign that work had been done on the ceilings. He is not the least expensive, but is well worth the money since he did excellent work with the least disruption to our schedule. Recommend calling him directly as he did not seem to check Angie's List messages. He did accept the Angie's List coupon though.

Mr. Howell was on time, diligent, neat and meticulous. He cleaned up each day and frequently asked if I was happy at each stage of the build. He stated at the outset that payment for the job would be when he was finished and I was completely satisfied. A rare find in many workmen today.

Thomas did a wonderful job. He responded quickly and was able to complete the repairs within one day of the request. He was punctual, friendly, and very professional. I would highly recommend!

Thomas Howell was extremely professional and his work was of top quality. Also, I thought his pricing was fair and competitive. He did the work alone which I like instead of having several contractors in and out of our house. He came in, assess the damage, provided the estimates and he did the work. The work was contained to my living room ceiling which is pretty medium-to-larger living room and 2 guest bedrooms (including smaller job on the front porch). With the size of the work he was able to contain over a couple of days. He said he does bring in another individual sometimes for larger jobs as fyi. I would recommend and I would use him again. I'm late in my review but was back on Angie's list looking for another contractor and feel it's important to do the good reviews as well as the cautionary ones.

Tom helped to transform our unfinished Bonus Room into a beautiful media room! He had great ideas on how to maximize storage and he worked diligently to get everything done in time for a big party that we had planned! I would definitely recommend Tom to anyone

Great . . . Thomas was very knowledgeable and thorough. The ceiling looked fantastic after he was done. Very impressed with his work and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

Did an incredible job and we are very pleased with outcome. Would highly recommend and would use again. Completed on time and everything left clean. Top-Notch! *note on pic - spot was from my camera, not his work.

Went well. Took exactly the amount of time he said it would. When he was done, it looked great. Drywall hung, mudded, painted. Finished. Very professional, and responsive to all questions.

Tom did an awesome job - he took a look at the job, made recommendations on how to do the work and gave us a very competitive and well thought-out bid. He completed the job as described in 2 days - cleaned up 100% of the mess. Flawless work.

Words do not describe the exceptional experience Thomas provided. Work ethic and quality far exceeded expectations. Having him come back to remove all popcorn and fix other parts.

Thomas is a very detail oriented drywall specialist who definitely enjoys working with drywall. Apart from the hanging of the drywall sheets, he did the rest of the job himself. He worked quickly and expertly to finish the job in just a short time. When he was done the walls and ceilings were very smooth, even and ready for painting. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

It was a genuine pleasure to have Tom take care of a drywall fix to our kitchen ceiling. Tom was on time for both his free estimation visit as well as the scheduled work appointment. The explained the fix he recommended for our situation - removing a 4 foot x 4 foot square of ceiling and replacing it with fresh drywall. The work proceeded exactly as he predicted, and took the time he predicted it would. He took time out of his work to point things out to me about the structure of the framing above the ceiling (the kitchen addition was done in a quirky but acceptable way by a previous owner). I was worried about the look of the ceiling, but I shouldn't have been. Tom has 40+ years of drywall experience and it shows. When his drywall, mud work, and sanding were done, the seams were completely invisible! This man is a real craftsman. Per agreement beforehand, I was responsible for painting once the drywall work was complete. I took my time and to be honest it's the nicest looking repair we've had done in a long time. Standing at the innermost wall of the kitchen and looking at the ceiling in the direction of the windows is probably the best test, since natural daylight really reveals any warping or lack of evenness in the drywall work. It's completely invisible! While I hope I never need drywall repair again, Tom will be the first person I call if I do.

Thomas fixed a very poor drywall finishing job that had been done by another company. I can't say enough about how the quality and skill of his finisher saved me from the poor quality of the other company. If you want your drywall done right, Thomas is the man you need.

Thomas repaired the first floor ceiling under a 2nd floor toilet that had plumbing issues. The plumber pocked a hole in the ceiling to let the water flow out. It was necessary for Thomas to replace a section approximately 3 ft square where the water had bowed the sheet rock. It required two trips to finish the job. Thomas had the skills to fix the problem, the right equipment (large rotary dust free sander) and the professional attitude to get the job done right the first time. The price was exceptional considering I had another service tech that came to the house to view the damage who gave me a quote of $450.

It couldn't have gone better.

We are really happy with this experience. He was flexible in scheduling, very quick to respond, meticulous, and personable. The results are great! Would definitely hire Thomas again!

Tom was extremely professional and thorough. I would highly recommend him to remove popcorn ceiling. We hired Tom to remove the popcorn ceiling before we moved into our house in N. Raleigh - we were on a very tight deadline and needed to have our floors refinished and ceiling finished before we moved in. Tom worked around the crazy schedule we had and even when the floor refinishing ran over schedule - Tom was flexible and worked around the other company. Popcorn removal is a very messy job so I highly recommend doing it before you move in. We were finding "popcorn" for weeks after the job was done, but we expected that. Tom cleaned up after the job and was very respectful of our home. I had about 1700 square feet of ceiling where popcorn needed removed, painted the ceiling, Tom patched in an "open" pass through between our kitchen and living room, and finally he patched some areas around our skylights.

He did a very good job and is a very nice man. I'd recommend him any day of the week!

Went great, he was quick and did a great job. Arrived on time and was very professional.

As soon as Thomas started I could tell he was an experienced installer using all of the proper techniques. The first day he had help from Rico who made me feel like I was half his hight as I watched him remove bulbs from the ceiling while standing flat footed on the floor! He's a great young man who pays attention to detail on the tasks he performed. The room looked great when Thomas finished the job but I was extremely pleased when I put the primer on - very smooth and clean surfaces, beautiful! Drywall work just doesn't get any better than this - this company does it right!

Mr. Howell did the work himself. He had all work done in two days and came back to fine tune and do clean-up on the third. I just finished painting and the walls and ceilings are very smooth. He left very little mess, only a little dust and minor debris in hidden corners. I plan on calling him again for more ceiling work and will recommend him to anyone I know who is doing a remodel and needs drywall work done. Very friendly and professional man who also gave some good tips on painting and priming.

It went great. We met Tom to review the work and received an estimate shortly there after. His pricing was fair and in the ballpark of what we were willing to spend. We schedule the work in two phases. Three rooms one week and the other two the following week. Each phase took two days. Tom scrapped the old popcorn off the ceilings, taped where need, mudded all imperfections (nail pops/seams) and sanded during the morning. He applied the prime coat of paint later in the afternoon. The next day, he applied two coats of ceiling paint and was done. All work was preceded by preparing the areas for work (sealing off areas, hanging plastic around bookcases, laying out drop cloths). Clean up entailed sweeping/vacuuming and moping. While his clean up was very good, it would be prudent to go behind him and do a more detail cleaning, as popcorn ceiling removal is pretty nasty. Tom was very personable and easy to work with. The work went quickly and he kept us informed at each stage. He even repaired some small sheet rock damage in another room in between the different stages. I would not hesitate using Tom again for any drywall project.

Tom was fantastic to work with. He was friendly, professional and very reasonable. He went above and beyond in helping me with tips about how and when to get things done to our new home so that we wouldn't waste money. I highly recommend!

They were great. The price was well under what he talked about.
