D S Patterson Co Inc

Work was perfect and price was great.

Went with another contractor. Was prompt in estimate and timeframe.

The owner was quick to get back to me and schedule a visit for the estimate. I was impressed with his knowledge and expertise in repairing my swirled plaster ceiling. His estimate was very reasonable so I scheduled the work. We had one delay caused by a necessary shower repair to prevent more ceiling damage so had to reschedule. The work was completed and I am very happy with the results. The owner is prompt, pleasant and more than willing to give advice on how to do some repairs yourself to save money. I would certainly use him again.

David Patterson did a fantastic job - everything was completed on time and on budget. David is extremely thorough and takes the time to explain exactly what is needed and why. He did work for us a couple of years prior -- repairing a wall crack and my son's bedroom ceiling -- and we have been very pleased with that as well. In fact, when he first came to look at our son's ceiling, he was so concerned that he came back the next day (a Sunday) to buttress the ceiling until he could come back to start the job. We can't recommend him highly enough.

I can't say enough good things about this company! Mr. Patterson took a careful look at the job and gave me an estimate, in writing, within a day's time. He laid out a schedule for the work and showed up promptly every day. He took great pains to protect my property, covering everything (even the walls!) with plastic sheeting. When he sanded, he briefly turned off my furnace and the system's fan, to avoid getting dust in other areas of the house. He was courteous and professional at all times and his work was excellent. My ceiling is smooth as glass, even under a bright light! I couldn't be more pleased. I have spent almost four months making repairs to my home from the water damage and also having some previously scheduled work done. I've had a dozen workers in and out of the house. D. S. Patterson came, did the job, and left without damaging something else. Unfortunately, in my experience now and during renovations over the past ten years, this is the exception, rather than the rule. I feel very fortunate to have found him to restore my ceiling. I would absolutely recommend him for any drywall or plaster job. My confidence in this company is such that, if I need future repairs or do more remodeling, I would hire them for other types of work, too.

Johnny was very precise and thorough and a real expert when it comes to drywall. Julie at the DS Patterson office was pleasant to deal with. Johnny was very knowledgable about electrical issues as well. I would use Johnny/DS Patterson again in a heartbeat. Happy customer!

I highly recommend David Patterson for all drywall, plastering, custom designs, tile repair, and painting. Patterson has worked for me twice now. The first time I called 3 companies for estimates for a ceiling repair and textured swirl design. Patterson was the only person who actually explained the entire scope of the project; how he would repair the ceiling; how he would duplicate the texture with swirl design and the paint to match the rest of the ceiling. When he finished, everything was just perfect and exactly the way I had expected after listening to his detailed explanation. In addition, his cost for the job was the most reasonable quoted. So the second time I had a drywall issue, there was absolutely no question who I would call. Again, Patterson explained the entire scope of the project, which turned out to more than either of us expected, and in his true professional manner, he followed the project right through to completion with perfect results again. He even saved a ceramic tile baseboard when he removed the drywall and later reattached it to the new drywall. Not only is the high quality of his work meticulous with excellent results, he is punctual; his prices are more than reasonable; he treats my house like his own and it is just as clean when he leaves as it was when he arrived. An added plus, is the timely direct communication with his office. All questions are promptly answered, comments and suggestions carefully considered and addressed to complete satisfaction. Due to my experience with Patterson, my neighbors have also called him for their drywall and plaster repairs and been extremely pleased with the final product.

Mr. Patterson repaired numerous plaster cracks in three rooms of our prewar, Arlington house. We?ve been here a long time, so one concern was finding someone who could do quality work while working around a lifetime of accumulated possessions. Mr. Patterson inspected the plaster and determined that durable repairs were possible. He gave us a contract describing the work. He explained what we needed to move so he could do his work. He arrived on time and completed the job in three days. We understand that some cracks could recur because of the age of our house, but feel confident that Mr. Patterson gave us a high probability of a lasting fix. We think price and quality work make D.S. Patterson Company an outstanding value.

Turned out to be a tricky repair, as the new plumbing protruded out a few millimeters. The repairman was quite experienced and skilled, and performed this work over a required 2 visits. You can't even tell where the repair was made now! This guy is by the book, has all the credentials, insurance, and know-how. This repair was actually the 2nd time I used them, and was also quite happy with their first repair last year by another tradesman.

When we replaced our shower the plumber needed to cut a large hole into a corner of our closet. The drywall repair company recommended by the plumber never responded, so we looked up alternatives on Angie's List. D S Patterson not only called us right back, but came by that day to assess the damage. Over the next two days Dave Patterson himself installed a new backing frame (the plumber had to remove a stud), new drywall, and plastered, taped and finished the job so smoothly that we are in no hurry to paint it. Service was quick, efficient, and very friendly both over the phone and in person. One of the other companies we called had a minimum that would have more than doubled the cost. We would definitely call D S Patterson for any future drywall or plaster work.

David was great, on time, knowledgeable, neat, responsive, and friendly. He completed all work on time and it remains excellent.

Excellent in all regards. The work was done on time, in a craftsman-like manner, and at a fair price. Patterson is a complete professional.

The work went smoothly and quickly. Jorge was very professional and took great care. It's been almost a year since the repairs were made and it still looks great.

Excellent work. Done on time and on cost.

Hugo at D.S. Patterson was great. He came on time, took a look and said it wouldn't be a problem, we got a price we really liked and got the work done the next week or so and it was finished in 2 days. Drying time really is the only thing that kept it from being done in 1 day. 100% satisfied with this guys and will definitely use them again.

John from D.S. Patterson was amazing. My wife and I are looking for excuses to bring him back into our home for drywall work all the time. The work that he did was top notch. My brother and I thought we knew how to properly finish the drywall (mudding and taping) in a large media room. Our end result was less than acceptable. John came in, was blunt in telling us it would have been cheaper to have him mud and tape the whole room rather than have him fix it after a botched attempt. We paid the price and have never looked back. The job John did was detailed and thorough and completely promptly.

Absolute professionalism by a true master of his trade. The work was impeccable and the entire process, from the estimate to billing went flawlessly. My highest recommendation for anybody considering his services. Mr. Patterson personally did the work (no sub-contractor) while we were out of town and took care of everything with the utmost attention to detail.

David did a GREAT job. His price was very reasonable and he was very pleasant. I would hire this company again without hesitation. I recommend this company to anyone needing drywall work done.

Incredible artistry! Dave is a master and does all of the work himself. His walls are the centerpiece of my newly refurbished living room/dining room. Very careful, very methodical, very precise. Protected all floors with a full treatment of thick paper which we kept down until the painting contractor finished. If you want an outstanding product, go with Dave.

In a word, it went fantastic. We first contacted DS Patterson in June for an estimate on the work. This was to be one step in a large project of having the texture removed and having recessed lights installed in our basement, much of which still looked like the 70s it was built in. David came out on Saturday June 28 (which was great, so my wife and I wouldn't have to take time off work like other estimates we received) to look at the spaces and provide an estimate. We were happy to hire him for the work, even though his estimate wasn't the cheapest - It was quickly apparent that he took a lot of pride in his work and was a true professional, having completed an actual apprenticeship. One important note (and one reason we loved him) is that he doesn't paint, he only does the drywall/plaster work - with the explanation that since he can't do it as well as other professionals, he won't try and I have an unbelievable amount of respect for that stance. (On the topic of painters, if he recommends Carlos Gutierrez don't hesitate to follow that recommendation. Carlos did a quick, fantastic job priming and painting after David finished with the scrape.) Coordinating with David and our electrician, we had the lights installed in August and that resulted in some unpatched holes where electrical wires had to be run. We did have to remove furniture and other items from the rooms, which was a painful process - but it was better than having everything covered in nasty ceiling dust and plaster. Due to various scheduling conflicts (he was busy, we were busy, we were on vacation, etc), the work didn't get completed until the week of September 22 and fell over into his 'Murphy' day of the 29th as well. The process was a little slow going due in large part to rain and humidity we had that week, causing his patches to dry slowly. He took extreme care of our property in this time, covering the walls, floors and the rest of our property with thick tarps and plastic sheeting - by the time he was done there was no evidence on the floor of what had occurred. But boy, did the ceiling look absolutely fantastic. We are truly ecstatic with the spaces now. Where before we hated to spend time in them due to the dim light and dirty ugly ceiling that felt a foot lower than it actually was, the work done by David has made us love the space (and yes, down the road the potential resale value). I highly, highly recommend contacting DS Patterson for all of your potential drywall and plaster work. Again, he may not be the cheapest - but I'll bet you he does the best job with the most care and consideration,.

2nd time we used Patterson. The work is perfect (cannot see the repair). Consumat professional.

Hugo, the project manager and my primary contact, and his team were awesome. The project was completed on time and exceeded my expectations. The existing plaster was as old as the house (75 years) and Hugo took great care in his work and completely eliminated the many imperfections of the original work. The paint job he and his team did was top notch and I would definitely use Hugo and DS Patterson company again.

Mr Patterson told us ahead of time when & how long the job would take. He maintained that schedule precisely. He taped plastic on all walls & floors to prevent dust. We returned the day after he finished and the condo was dust free! The job was perfect.

Setting up the contract and date of the repairs could not have been easier. Julie was great. She was very pleasant and professional. Hugo, who was the person who completed the repairs came as scheduled for both the estimate and the repairs, and we couldn't be happier with the results of his handiwork. Drywall repairs has always seemed to me to be sort of an art, and Hugo does wonders with his "brush strokes." Great job at a good price..., would hire D.S. Patterson Co. again, and highly recommend them to others in need of drywall repair.

Excellent! Note, they preferred us to buy tub, tile, shower diverter. An older person without access to a van may not want to do this. They do more than just drywall!
