Chris was very responsive in getting me scheduled for the drywall repairs. Dan spent nine hours total, four one day and five the next, in repairing four large cracks in the ceiling and wall of my garage. He also touched up some other holes and dings as well that he found too. The finished work looks great and I would definitely hire them again.

Chris did a wonderful job. Very neat and clean. Most of all the work he does is perfect. We had him caulk, repair crack in a wall and replace smoke detectors. When he went to replace the batteries in our smoke detectors, he noticed that they were old and not going to be effective because of their age. He went to Lowes to purchase us new ones but said they wanted too much money for them and suggested that we order them through Amazon. We got on Amazon together and he pointed out the ones we needed. They were one third of the cost of Lowes! Our neighbors have also used Chris and had nothing but kudos for all the jobs he's done for them. I highly recommend him!

Chris is AWESOME - He looks at the entire project including any Non-visible issues that could affect the end result and advises you of his findings in real time, prior to starting or continuing work. He does not hide issues. We own a condo and had another HVAC vendor put in a new dryer ducting run between the first and second floors. We knew they did not do drywall nor stucco/finishing so I engaged Chris, who I had never used before, for that job. When Chris started to work to trim the ceiling opening to put the new drywall patch in place, he found that the dryer ducting had been 'squished' ontop of our existing flexible AC ducting. He found that our air flow from our HVAC system to the vents adjacent to this ducting were being severely compromised. Also there was condensation collecting around the new dryer ducting as well as on the hvac ducting due to "heat from the dryer" converging with "Cool air from the hvac". And this was days after the HVAC folks did their work. He engaged a specialist to advise us on what we needed to do and then he reran portions of the new dryer ducting away from the hvac so that the hvac flow was no longer compromised. The finished product was amazing... you can not tell we had any work done on the ceiling at all unless you knew there was work done there! I highly recommend Chris for all paint, drywall and stucco jobs and will only use Chris for all future work on any of our properties.

Done even beyond my highest expectations
Description of Work: Over the years, I have worked with Chris Golden on many, many projects and I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else. We started small. Chris did a drywall repair and assembled several sets of metal shelves for my garage. When I realized what a gem Chris was, we moved on to other kinds of projects. Chris has worked in my home, my son’s home and several of my rental properties. He has replaced that awful 1960’s panelling with drywall in a family room; hung interior and exterior doors; created a closet in an under-utilized area under my staircase; enclosed a staircase; removed a half wall to open-up a kitchen; repaired and replaced hardwood flooring where it was damaged or missing; painstakingly removed that dreaded “popcorn ceiling” and managed to control what might have been a terrible mess; created beautiful casement trim for bookcases, windows and doors; retextured and painted interior walls, including some amazing ‘faux’ finishes; replaced plumbing fixtures and light fixtures; installed window shades and blinds; and checked out potential properties I was considering buying - to name a few of the smaller projects. He has also done total gut and remodel of bathrooms that, to this day, I still use as examples of how a remodel should be done. In short, with Chris Golden you get a no nonsense guy who is not only a highly skilled craftsman but who also brings imagination, excellent design suggestions and flawless execution. He simply is the best.

Thanks, but the name's Chris! And the job in question involved scaffolding in a 15' plus living room. Using a scaffold always doubles the price of any repair! If someone says that they will use an extension ladder to repair your drywall, be prepared for an accident - either dropped tools or a nasty fall. And that opens up a whole world of legal problems for you!

Amazing and given the circumstances way better than I could have hoped for. As soon as Chris started to prep the first of the ceiling openings he noticed multiple concerns: the new rigid dryer ducting had been run perpendicular to the HVAC ductwork and the HVAC ducting was crushed behind the new rigid dryer ducting as a result of that placement. First issue this caused - The forced air flow to the living room ceiling vent, which was beyond the impacted HVAC ducting was significantly constricted by the rigid ducting. Second - because of the cross contact of "Dryer heated air" flowing through the new rigid ducting with the "cool AC air" through the HVAC ducting, the rigid ducting was accumulating condensation. Upon closer inspection with my approval, Chris opened the crushed "kludged together with tape" HVAC ducting and found the beginnings of black mold there and also in and around the insulation. Chris advised me to contact the company who did the duct work to have them correct the ducting. In parallel, he referred us to another duct venting company who I spoke to as well. Due to time constraints and since my original Venting company who did the work did not get back to me, I went ahead and approved the ducting be corrected by Chris. I told Chris I would work it out with the other company who did the duct work later. Chris actually saved us time and money and long term our health and the health of our tenants. Thank you Thank you Chris!.. Oh BTW he does an awesome job of texturing and his prices are very reasonable for the quality of work he provides. .. and he is tidy too :)

Description of Work: Drywall cracks repaired in 2 homes we own. Some were pretty severe, , but Chrusvand Dan did an excellent job and re-textured so you don't even realize that repairs were done! Hire them, they are punctual, professional, pay attention to the small details and clean up after the work is done. Best drywall repair contractor I have found.

Description of Work: Had a step through in the ceiling from a bad decision on services from Craigs list. So I called 2 drywall company's with 1 call back. He looked at it and said too much liability in the room(TV, electronics but gave a price if he had wanted to fix it. I called Drywall Repair Specialists and Dan came the next morning, on time and completed the work at 1/2 the earlier quoted cost.

Chris came over on a Saturday and took care of quite a few projects. He and his partner patched a few significant holes due to new fixtures, a door knob and a child's temper tantrum. They also took care of a few cracks and he re-textured a portion of a wall that was done poorly by the previous owners. The four rooms they worked in each had different textures, but they now blend perfectly with the rest of the walls. He also provided some good advice and accomplished a lot in just a few hours. Highly recommended.

Excellent! Chris was able to not only patch the holes, but also painted and textured the patches, too. He remained very professional - the man even took off his shoes before coming into the house without any prompting by me! He also cleaned up very, very well. It was as if he was never here except for the walls being like new!
Description of Work: Needed two large holes in my walls patched. Plumber had to cut two good size holes in order to fix a busted pipe. Chris came in and inspected the drywall in all of the rooms and gave his professional opinion on whether the drywall needed to be replaced or patched.

First off, the reason Chris and Dan are so busy is because they are good at what they do. They are worth the wait. I mixed up Chris with another Chris and accidentally told him that I did not need his service. When I called the next day to find out why he never called me back I quickly realized that he did call me but I made a mistake. He was still able to get Dan to come out and do the work on the following Monday. Knowing how busy they are I figured I missed my chance but Chris made it happen!! Great service and quality.

This was a terrific experience. The work was completed in less than a day and looks wonderful. The workman completely tented off the work area, preventing any spread of dust or other mess from the work - that part of the house was cleaner when they left than it was when they arrived. Use this company - you will not be disappointed.
