Response from Golden Home Improvement
I have no record of talking with this customer. I can only assume that he has us confused with another company. After all, I'm not in business to NOT call potential customers back. I always tell people who are waiting for our services to feel free to call and ask where they are on our schedule. I have no control over whether they do call again. Some do, others just feel slighted and break out the ol' "F" grading pen like a teacher assigning grades for citizenship. And about cell phones - I am not responsible for your bad cell phone connection. I receive any number of calls/messages that sound like the Voyager probe transmitting its data back to Earth from Jupiter! Please don't get mad at me if I have trouble deciphering these calls. Just try again!

Did not use this company.
Description of Work: I called during the weekend and a man named Chris returned my call by leaving a message. When I called back and explained what I needed he was very rude and seemed like he did not want any new business. He said he charges about $30 an hour. When I asked if he would like to come out and look at the damage he simply said "no." He then asked where I live and after I said Corinth he said, "I'll pass." He was rude for no reason and there is no way he's getting my $25k insurance money. It will go to someone else that thinks customer service is still part of the business.

I'm sorry that you didn't get the answer that you wanted yesterday, but how does that translate into my being "rude"? If you had bothered to read our company profile, you probably would have seen the part about us working strictly on a time and materials basis. You might have also stumbled upon the the line reading "free estimates = no". I'm sorry if that's a hard concept for you to grasp. If you ask me " Don't you want to come up to Corinth for free and bid on my job which you may or may not get," and I answer honestly with " No.", that is not being rude. I do apologize for not saying, "I politely decline" if that would have eased your suffering. I'll be happy to provide you with a recording of our conversation if it would help refresh your memory. At no time was I rude with you, just honest.

Description of Work: They stated that they would be a couple of weeks to a least look at the damage and make an estimate. There are plenty of companies in the Dallas area who were at least able to come to my house and make an estimate. I would recommend someone else.

Response from Golden Home Improvement
First of all, Dummy, it's "provide an estimate" or "give an estimate". I can "make" estimates all day long without looking at anything. Second, why am I required to drop everything and give you an estimate when we can't take on any new jobs for a while? Do I really need to explain the concept of supply and demand to you? Yes, there are many other companies that will drop everything and run right over. Know why? Because they're not as good as we are and are therefore not as in demand. See how that works? If you are reading our reviews here on Angie's Lists, I ask you to pay little attention to negative reviews by these internet "tough-guys" For some reason, Angie's List allows these disgruntled people to post negative reviews even if we don't do any work for them! Please note that the customers we actually work for have nothing but praise for us! That says more about us than a few disgruntled crybabies who think the universe revolves around them alone.

I'm sorry that our busy schedule caused you such discomfort, you sniveling Crybaby. If you had actually asked how you could get a quote, I would've happily put you on our waiting list. Or you could have chosen to call somebody else. Most people can easily figure that out for themselves. And I'm not in the habit of recommending my competitors. Let them get their own business. You're already on a referral site, you moron! You're just a few clicks away from all the referrals you need. Feel free to call again and I'll happily tell you what I think of your (lack of ) masculinity. Jerk.

Description of Work: I called Drywall Repair Specialist (Chris Golden) and aranged for him to do work in a bathroom that needed preparing the walls for texturizing and painting the walls and woodwork after the texture was done. The walls were previously wallpapered (with 50 year old wallpaper) and some of it was still on the walls. I called Chris Golden because he had previously done some drywall repair for me and he had done a good job. To complete the bathroom work, he was at the house on October 12, 13, 14 and 17th. I'm very pleased with the finished work. Chris is very hardworking and doesn't waste time. I would definitely recommend his work.

See above comments.
Description of Work: After checking Angie's List, I contacted Chris Golden (Drywall Repair Specialists) by phone to see if he could repair a 3 X 3 hole in a wall. Chris arrived promptly on the date and time we agree on. He was very professional, polite, and a hard worker. He looked at the wall problem and got his equipment from his truck and immediately went to work. Since I also had a ceiling problem in the garage, I asked Chris if he had time to take a look at it to see if he could fix it. He said yes and started work on it after finishing the first project. I was very impressed with his work ethic and professionalism. I definitely recommend Drywall Repair Specialists and have asked Chris to put me on his future schedule to retexture a bathroom wall.

great
Description of Work: We hired Chris in the past to repair drywall and retexture our kitchen which was done perfectly so we called Chris when we needed more texturing completed. Chris quoted us a higher price originally over the phone but when he actually saw the work to be done at our house he lowered the price and said he could do it for less. Chris gets right in and gets the job done. He leaves everything nice and clean when he is done. He even helped me fix a problem light switch plate that wouldn't sit properly for no extra charge. He also was great with the kids asking him tons of questions! Great work, nice guy- definately recommend to anyone needing drywall work!

It never happened.
Description of Work: The company came out to review our request to take the popcorn texture off our ceiling. The guy stated they had perform these services many times and our ceiling would not be a problem. He walked around and looked at the ceiling in each but never took any measurements. He seemed to be in a rush and said he would email us his estimate. We have not had a response from the company. . .
