******* Kaufmann's Drywall By Design *******

The pros: Mike was able to start the next day. He and his helper, Leon, appeared to be doing a very good job taping and mudding over two days. The cons: Unfortunately, when it came to the end product (sanding, ensuring that patched areas blended well, doing touchups, etc) Mike's performance and professionalism dried up and disappeared. Two of the patched ceilings were left with glaringly obvious outlines of the patched areas. A 3' long run of tape in the hallway was separating from the ceiling. Multiple areas were left completly unsanded where it badly needed it. I began pointing these areas out to Mike in person, but all he would say was that it "looked great" and that I got a great deal. I asked Mike if he could come out to fix the issues at hand. He responded that he was very busy and that he would have to charge me to fix the areas in question. In the end, I had to complete the job myself. This included: Re-mudding the patched areas (each around 3'L x 1'W) so they would blend in with the ceiling. These took two further coats of mudd each. Fixing the failed tape job in the hallway Finding and sanding all the areas Mike missed, which were many.
