John and his helper showed up on time, and were very professional. I asked them to make one of the holes bigger so that I could put some insulation that I had bought behind the drywall, which they did for me. They repaired the holes in the walls and matched the texture on the wall perfectly. They cleaned up after themselves, and were done in less time than I expected.

Very well. After I contacted him, John came out the same day to bid the job and completed the work the next day, on schedule and on budget. Although it is possible on close scrutiny to see that a repair job was done (which John told me in advance would be the case, unless I repainted the whole area), they did a good of fixing the crack, retexturing the wall, and cleaning up. The cost was not dirt cheap but seemed reasonable considering the amount of time they spent and the quality of the work.
Description of Work: I tried to repair a large section of interior wall that had significant cracking. Hernandez finished off what I started and also repaired a vertical crack in a hard-to-access corner of a stairwell.

We are very satisfied with their work. They did their part and they did it very well. The ceiling looks like it?s new. I was very happy with their work. I chose them because they had an excellent rating on Angies list. He has been in business for over 30 years. He lives close by to my place. I trusted him. There was good vibes about him.
Description of Work: Hernandez drywall replaced some sheetrock that had to be taken out for various different repairs. They installed 3 pieces of sheetrock and then they taped it. It was done for the whole living room ceiling. They came back the next day and textured it.

John stepped in after we lost another drywall contractor we were counting on who could not perform the job. His price was a little lower than our other bid, and I liked how he communicated the different types of textures and techniques they would use. While we were waiting for a plumbing depenedency to be completed, his team was flexible, coming in later and working later in order to complete the job within the agreed upon schedule. They went above and beyond what they said to do, texturing walls in the utility room and patching some places we had not even discussed. They cleaned up thoroughly and the end result looks great.
Description of Work: Scraped ceiling popcorn. Re-skinned walls. Patches. Enclosed utility room. Dry walled for where soffets and drop ceiling was removed.

Excellent. I called John and asked if he could come out and give me an estimate. He met me on my day off, gave me a bid to patch holes and cracks in my ceiling where I had torn out some old outdated light fixtures and installed recessed lighting and pendant lights. Also some sheetrock had come loose at the seams while electrician, A/C guy and security system people had worked up there over the years. I also have a long livingroom with high ceiling with the 45 degree angle along two sides. Those had started to split at the joint. John and his crew arrived, we discussed expected outcome, he gave his crew marching orders. They brought in scaffolds and other equipment and went straight to work. They patched, primed and textured the necessary areas. They cleaned up after themselves, came back the next day and finished up. Although I like doing projects around the house, it would have taken me forever. John had all the right equipment and a great crew so they were able to cut time to a minimum. I appreciate that.
Description of Work: Sheetrock repair: Patched holes in ceiling, taped and floated cracks and seams, textured area where old flourescent light box was torn out to make way for recessed & pendant lighting.

I called John and within 16 hours of talking with him, he and one worker were here on time getting this work done. He estimated the work over the phone and gave me a start time. He called a little later to let me know he'd be a little later to go get supplies. He was exactly on time, very respectful, extremely fair priced and very professional. They had the work done in just 1 hour! And he stayed with the original estimate (of course this depends on being very detailed in what you expect from him). This was the first contract work I've ever had done and this was a great experience. Subsequent contractors may have a difficult time living up to this expectation. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND John for your drywall work!!!!!!
Description of Work: After 8 years of house settling, the angled ceiling corner joint above the tub in our master bath had cracks throughout (about 2-3 feet worth). We had also installed all new fixtures (towel holders, toilet paper holder and lights). In doing so we moved some of these for better access, which left behind spots that were missing wall texturing.

John returned my initial call within an hour. He came out a few hours after returning my call to give an estimate. His estimate was 1/2 that of other companies and he was able to start the work the next day. John and his crew (2 other guys) arrived the next morning on time and had all the work done within 5 hours. They were careful to cover my floors and left the work area spotless when finished. All in all, I would highly recommend Hernandez Drywall.

He was a great person to come in and do the job. Anytime I had a problem, I just called him and he came out to fix it. He was very punctual, always arrived when he was scheduled to. He was very professional and respectful of my home. If I ever need anything else done, I will call them.
Description of Work: They removed the popcorn acoustic from the ceiling and put up some texture with mud. He also did some miscellaneous wall repair work in my 2600 square foot home.
