Working with Monty's Finishing Touch was a great experience. Lamont was very communicative and helpful. He was reasonably priced and did a great job patching a hole that was left in my living room after a pipe repair. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent customer service and quality of work. I had an incredibly messy and difficult plaster ceiling that needed removal and replacement with drywall and paint. Had a gab between ceiling walls due to the layers of plaster placed on ceiling. Lamont and his team filled in these gaps seamlessly with the drywall. Impressive work and beautiful outcome. Highly recommend Monty Finishing, particularly for older homes needing plaster ceilings replaced with drywall.

Lamont and his technicians were extremely professional, communicative and provided excellent work quality. This was an entire room addition as well as patch work from construction. We were very happy with the work Monty’s Finishing Touch provided and would absolutely work with them again.

Lamont is a total professional. He was extremely responsive to my initial outreach, communicated clearly throughout the project and always listened to and addressed the questions/comments I had. With drywall it’s hard to see the bigger picture sometimes at the beginning of the project, but Lamont assured me that the drywall would end up looking perfect and it did. I would highly recommend hiring Lamont for your next drywall project. His prices are reasonable and his work is excellent.

Update review: It went well at first. Drywall looks nice. Some cons: they didn’t put plastic on the floor to protect my rugs even though I asked twice. And they didn’t clean up. They were suppose to come back and pick up the left over drywall and never did. And the city does not pick up so I have to figure out how to dispose of it. Will make sure to hire someone more professional next time.

Response from Monty Finishing Touch
This isn’t true, I have screenshot that shows that I came and picked up the garbage that was outside. You told me it was some still upstairs. The day I was suppose to come you said “Hi I had to leave the house so can you pick up the rest of the drywall Next week.” The following week came you said “ Hey Lamont. You can come by tomorrow or Friday if you can. In the late afternoon.” That was on a Wednesday. I then text you Friday for a time to come, you then said “ Actually I’ve been home all day sick. Anytime this weekend is good.” But yet you don’t see how this is something you started to stir up as I told you I was very busy. Ok no problem. Now let’s speak about the carpet I asked you in person would you like me to vacuum, you said no because we was leaving and coming back the next day so we can just do it when it’s all done, yes I forgot to ask before our finale day but let’s not make it seem as if your carpet was damaged, it had some light spots from sanding, I repeat light. When you write a review please be as honest as possible as other customers look at this before hiring me. Lastly you gave me a three when it came to responsiveness when I have never made you wait for a call back from me. Text may be a little different and that’s because I work early morning and I communicated that with you I can’t believe you would do something like that and even then I’ve messaged you back within the same day at least within 5 hours of the text you sent. But thanks anyway.

Job went very well. Lamont was very responsive and kept me informed of progress. He also had great ideas for other projects I want to do. The workers always showed up on time. I will hire them again for a paint job in near future. My attic walls came out better than expected!

He arrived on time and was professional. He answered all questions that I asked and cleaned up afterwards. He did a great job and will return to complete another drywall installation. I would hire him again and recommend him for others. Monique

Horrible! Took my money upfront and didn't do the job. Started the work and didn't finish the work. He said he would come back to finish but never did. I called and text and no response back. How do i get a refund?? If i could rate below a 1 I would rate ZERO. DO NOT do business with this person ever again. Stole my money!

You are a liar I have proof that I will be posting that I completed the job you wanted me to put your baseboard back and the truth of the matter is I’m a drywall specialist not a carpenter. You didn’t even want to pay me my full price you wanted a discount for no reason. I still gave you the discount and you want me to do more and more stuff. Your garage is find, every time you text me I text back I have proof. You showed me one side in your garage and I did all the work in one day you didn’t tell me about the other side until I was done and once again you didn’t even pay full price, stop spreading lies. You could have at least offered more money for the other side but you didn’t you already had a discount and want me to do the other side and that wasn’t apart of the official plan.

We hired Monty to patch some dry wall on our ceiling after a leak. He maintained great communication throughout the process, was detail oriented, and knowledgeable. His rates were fair and the job was done well.

i am so grateful to lamont for all of his amazing work covering the holes in my bedroom wall. when i first got them i was so nervous thinking they'd never be able to get fixed but lamont answered me so quickly, showed up the next day just to inspect but was able to begin the project that same day. he was so nice and accommodating. it can be hard sometimes when you need to call a stranger into your house for something but he was extremely considerate of my house and time. i can tell he holds himself to a high standard for his work and did an excellent job on this project. I am ready to begin painting and it took no time at all. thank you soooo much!

My toilet was leaking relentlessly for weeks to the point where it was completely out of commission. When Monty arrived, he fixed it within minutes and didn’t even want to be paid! 10/10 would recommend. I haven’t had any issues since
