I absolutely recommend Wes Means. He did a phenomenal job repairing drywall and painting trim, walls, ceiling and doors; and then painting a shiplap accent wall for a bedroom I was remodeling. In addition to being very professional, personable, and on-time, Wes was very meticulous with a very high attention to detail, . I will most definitely use him again.

drywall repair and painting
Description of Work: From a handful of reviews on NextDoor I asked Wes to submit a bid on repairs for a water damage project - 3 holes in walls/ceiling had been cut out to dry out subfloor and walls in living room and upstairs linen closet - needed drywall to replace holes and repainting. Wes came by on time to do walk-thru and was pleasant enough. Though he had a mask hanging off his ears he did not put it on during his visit, so first minus there. Then, he proceeded to get sidetracked on a 15 minute political rant which I politely endured but finally had to interrupt to get him focused again. He informed me that he would do absolutely NO moving of furniture in order to paint room because he's 50 yrs old and works alone. (OK I'm 60 yrs old and have rheumatoid arthritis, but sure um that's ok right? Never had a contractor of ANY kind ever tell me that!) We discussed paint at length and he offered to use some paint he already had to repaint the inside of a linen closet which had one of the holes cut out. I thought that was nice. Then after more chatting and exchange of emails to send me estimate, he calls me 15 minutes later to tell me he's decided he's not interested in the painting part of the project; only the drywall, without explanation. He quotes me a price and demands an immediate decision or offer is rescinded!! I told him that, as I do market research for a LIVING, that I had already requested 3 contractors to take a look and submit bids, so that I could make an informed decision, but that I thought his price was very reasonable if I decided to divide up the work between more than one company. He became very indignant and stated "I think we are done doing business, ma'am" and hung up. I have no idea if this guy does good work or not, but I was astounded at his lack of professionalism since he markets himself as "drywall and paint", and then calls to turn down the painting and demand immediate decision on the drywall work. I'm sorry but I can not recommend Wes Means for any contracting work. Just a bizarre interaction overall.

Response from Wes Means Drywall Repair and Painting
Ms. [Member Name Removed], I apologize for entering in your home with my mask down and talking about COVID-19. This whole issue has been stressful for everyone. I am certainly not trying to make excuses, but I had just completed my 3rd job in about 6 days after being without work for about 4 ½ weeks. I was mentally and physically tired and should have called to reschedule, as you did the day before when you weren’t feeling well. That was unprofessional of me and for that I am sorry. I wish you would have met the professional that everyone else meets as evidenced by the many kind reviews that I have here on Angie’s List. I hope that you find a good company that will meet your drywall and painting needs and we can just both put this behind us as an unfortunate incident that occurred during a stressful and trying time. Regards, Wes Means

Wes gave me a price and work schedule. Showed up on time and did a very professional job patching the crack and matching the texture on the ceiling. Spent the time to make sure to protect all the furniture and floors and cleaned up as if he had never been there. Does not use and subcontractors and takes pride in his work.

Wes was very responsive and he came to our house quickly to provide an estimate. Several days later he promptly arrived and did a great job fixing the nail pops and settlement cracks and repainted over them.

I was looking for a hands-on drywall man who also did interior painting, rather than the other way around. I found an absolute jewel in Wes Means! Wes went above-and-beyond in repairing so many things, not noticeable until pointed out. Wes tackled a really tough job in repairing drywall cracks on a 11 foot ceiling, right above the counter top, very poor access. Wes did a first class job on drywall repair, and hand matched the texture, avoiding to having to re-texture the entire ceiling. The ceiling repair took two days, clean up was very neat. Wes also did drywall repair on 2 small bedrooms, and then painted both the ceiling and walls. Wes always on time at 8:30, worked fast and neatly, plenty of paper on floors, and poly protection on furniture where needed. All painting was done by hand, no spray. Wes is a true craftsman! I would look forward to having Wes back on other projects.
Description of Work: Repaired drywall ceiling cracks, painted 2 bedrooms & 1 hallway, also repaired & repainted wall in living room

Wes did an excellent job, taking a total of two days. First day he spent on prep work that included papering the floors for protection and covering the entire kitchen in plastic drop protection. On the second day, he painted. I strongly recommend Wes for any painting and dry wall work you want to have done.
Description of Work: I replaced florescent lighting with recessed lighting installed in my kitchen by another contractor. This left holes in the ceiling from electrical boxes, attachment points, untextured and unpainted areas. Wes did an excellent job repairing the drywall, texturing, filling cracks due to foundation settling and matching paint to the existing paint color in the house.

Wes is a jovial gentleman, and was at my home ready to work every day at exactly 0830. He worked hard and fast, even doing little extras, such as caulking my windows (and quot;he took it as a professional pride, sort of a and quot;this is how it *should* be doneand quot; attitude; I was impressed by this). Will hire again.
Description of Work: Wes repainted 2 rooms, removed a chair rail in one, and painted 8 more walls in various areas.

I am beyond pleased with Wes's work. He was punctual, provided valuable help and assistance in picking the right types of paints/stains, and completed the work quickly and efficiently without comprosing attention to detail. I painted a portion of my cabinets white and stained another portion a dark, espresso-like color. Wes was able to match the white paint with my trim perfectly. He also suggested using a solid exterior stain for the dark cabinetry - initially I hesitated fearing it would look like an outdoor deck, but the finished product looks incredible. His work freshened up the entire look of the house. Very grateful for his diligent work.
Description of Work: Wes painted my front door and a portion of my kitchen cabinets white and also dark-stained another portion of the cabinetry.

Fantastic. Mr. Means Sr. sent Wes (his son) out to do the work. He was professional, prompt and did a fantastic job. I enjoyed having him in my home and will certainly use and recommend him to others. I used a "Angie's list coupon" for this work. Wow.. Love this contracter. Thanks Angie's list!
Description of Work: Painted new interior doors and new base mold.
