John arrived on time, a little early even. He and the gentleman working with him were both very polite and left the work areas spotless when they left. We are very happy with our decision to use Hernandez Drywall.
Description of Work: John replaced insulation and patched two large holes that had been cut in our drywall to allow for a dry out after a pipe in our wall burst. He also repaired a spot on our ceiling that was damaged by a leaking hot water tank. We have textured walls but the repairs are flawless and blend in perfectly. He even patched up a small crack he happened to notice near one of the repairs he was making at no charge.

John showed up twice to give quotes (once by himself to look at the drywall, and another time with his painter to look at the size/scope of the job). He and his crew were very polite and thorough. I was given a quote which is exactly what I ended up paying. The job took 3 days total. The crew showed up when they said they would. I thought I would have to clean up and move furniture around since they were painting the ceiling, but they covered everything with plastic, and left it just as clean as when they started. I had a small area where I asked the painter to touch-up on the 3rd day, and he did it no problem. The drywall repairs only took 1 day: there were two holes in the walls made by a plumber for a repair, and we had removed wainscoting from a bedroom which completely tore up the drywall (didn't know previous owners had glued it). Both were "easy" fixes according to John, and I'm very pleased with the results. They also left us the leftover ceiling paint when they were finished. I highly recommend John and his team! I will say if you don't get a hold of him the first try, please give him a day or two to respond. He and his crew are busy because they do good work. I think it is worth the wait!
John showed up prepped the area and came back the next morning to texture. Matches perfectly.

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Hernandez Drywall! There’s a reason John’s business is rated an A here on Angie’s list. We are doing a condo remodel and I found Hernandez Drywall here because we needed to float some ceilings and walls. Here’s how he made the experience great: - John came by shortly after I called him and was on time. - He gave some great suggestions on what to do - After getting a couple of other quotes, I found his prices to be the best - His team started the next day after I hired them to do the job - They were polished professionals who took care and pride in the work they did - There were never any delays or false promises - They went the extra mile to make the work look exceptional I couldn’t be happier with the work he did and I look forward to calling him again when I need more work done. I wish this review section allowed me to post photos of his work. Thank you John for everything!
Description of Work: Floated several ceilings and walls, painted where we couldn't reach.

Do yourself a favor and just stop looking for anyone else to do your work. You found the best guy around. John came in, looked over the job, had some great suggestions that actually saved me money, noticed a few areas that needed some minor repairs, and knocked it out matching other textures perfectly. He says what time he'll start, and when he says 8:00 on the dot, it's on the dot. Great crew, all friendly and very skilled.

John performed the work just as he explained for the price we had agreed upon.
Description of Work: I contacted John on Sunday to get an estimate repairing several spots of drywall. He asked that I text him pictures so he can evaluate the scope of the work. He quoted me a price and said that he could be here between 8a -9a the following day. He arrived around 7:45a!

John was able to immediately diagnose the problem when he came to give us a quote. He was able to fit us in the following week and got the job done in half a day. He and his partner were very thorough, polite and kept the areas they worked in very clean. I would definitely recommend John to anyone needing drywall work done.

John was one of three drywall specialists I contacted two address walls and ceilings in two bedrooms, and I'm satisfied with the choice I made in selecting him for the job. I felt he explained his process for repairing, skim coating, texturing drywall, and mitigating issues that could arise with detail and confidence. John and his partner arrived on-time, prepped all their supplies, and began right away. They spent a full day repairing and skim coating walls and ceilings. On the second day, they repeated their on-time arrival and spent a few hours spraying texture. The finished work looks great and am excited to begin painting. I have asked John to return in a few weeks for the next phase of my house project.

I used to be a super for a national home builder, so I know my way around construction issues. My brothers house had several leaks at the slab, so we decided the best option was to completely re plumb the house. This left 26 holes in the sheetrock thru out the house. John and his partner, came in with an estimate of 3 days. This is what I was expecting. The first day, they got much further along than I thought they would, and ended up finishing at the end of the second day. When I went to inspect the job, not only was the patch work done to an unexpected level of quality, but they had cleaned up not only the mess they had made but most of the dust left after the plumbers were finished. I have been in charge of the building of several hundred homes being built in my career, and I have got to say the patches John did were the best I have ever seen. You will not be sorry if you need sheet rock repairs and hire John.

After the work was performed, I noticed a spot in the ceiling that looks like it could possibly be water. I contacted the provider and asked him to come out and take a look at the ceiling. I made an appointment with him to come out and he did not show up. I texted him and called him several times and he has not responded.

I am very pleased with the result. It looks just like it did before the hole. They matched the texture perfectly. It took them about an hour. They were very professional. John did exactly what he said he would do. They put down a cover and cleaned up everything. The work was excellent. Also, he charged me the minimum amount of the quote (He quoted me $175 to $225 after I sent him pictures). I would definitely recommend John to my friends and family.

John and his crew did an outstanding job. He fixed and re-plastered several ceiling seams and wall cracks in my ten year old home. He was prompt at returning my calls, showed up exactly on time, cleaned up after himself and the resulting work was of outstanding quality. After we re-painted the areas that were repaired, you cannot tell anything had ever been done. It looks exactly original. I highly recommend John.

They fixed all the holes so they are now completely invisible and textured the walls to EXACTLY match the existing ceiling and wall textures. When I say exactly, I mean it's perfect...you cannot tell AT ALL where the repairs were done. They arrived on time, began work immediately, were easy to communicate with and presented solution options. In order to meet my deadline because I had other contractors scheduled, they stayed until 8:30PM to finish the work that night. I am very pleased with their service, especially the quality of their work and workmanship. I can highly recommend them without any reservations whatsoever.
Description of Work: John was very helpful in meeting my deadline. I had them finish coat the existing drywall on my garage ceiling and walls, plus they made several repairs in my home where I had moved wall switches, removed moldings around windows, installed speakers in one ceiling area, and around the new kitchen backsplashes I'd had installed.
