I had a great experience with Chris Halverson and his associates at Mudslinger's. He responds best to phone calls rather than email. So, if you are trying to contact him I would telephone him. Chris came when he said he would, gave us a prompt quote and performed the work in a timely manner. If there was a change to a schedule or a question, he would text me immediately. I really appreciated this. I had him replaster a ceiling and wall in our guest bedroom and then paint the entire room. He did an excellent job in a challenging older home. He also repainted our den and repaired and painted the ceiling. His crew was very respectful and worked efficiently. They paid attention to cleaning up after they finished working each day and covered our floors etc. Based on my experience, I have more projects that I am engaging Chris and his crew to do right after the holidays. Anytime you have contractors in your home it can be a nightmare experience, but Chris made sure it was as quick and easy as possible.

Never did any work and never called back to get a quote started. *** UPDATE*** He did contact me 3 days after I had called him stating that he had some issues with his cell phone voice mail. My wife and I had called him 3 times over this period. I scheduled an appointment and Chris was 45min late. He did call, at the scheduled time, to let me know that he was running late but said that he would be at our house in 30min. After the appointment he contacted me with the quote over the phone. I specifically asked ,and gave him my email, for the quote to be emailed to me as I was gathering other quotes for the job. When I asked for a written quote he would not provide one but indicated that if we went with him that he could put something down on paper for us. His quote was also double then the other quotes that I had gotten. He also told me that he would also attempt to match some of the other quotes that we had gotten. Thats great but why not have a reasonable quote in the beginning.
Description of Work: I have attempted to call them several times to have them come and give me a quote. I did make contact with Chris who was driving at the time and asked to call back with my contact information. I did so and never received a follow up call from him. I called 3 different times and as of 9/17/12 I have yet to get a call back from them to follow up and provide a meeting date to get a quote. ***UPDATE**** We did get a call back and have set up an appointment and I am currently waiting for a quote.

I'm sorry if i don't answer calls right away,Ican't take time away from a paying custmer and drop what I'm doing.I try to respond within 48 hours.I tell every customer I don't write a contract up unless I'm told we have the job. I take time out to look at the job and gas ,that alone cost me about $125,and then to not get the job.thats money out of my pocket. I'm sorry I'm not a big company like most places to were i can write contracts up . I'm on the jobs most of the time and don'thave time to write up quotes for every job. people need to understand we are in bussiness to make money . Oh and yes I've been having phone issues! So I apologise for that

We contracted for them to paint our entire interior. As they were working, they discovered that the joint above the fireplace had not been properly cornered when the condo was built back in 1975, and also that when the drywall was originally nailed in some areas instead of screwed in. As a consequence of poor initial construction, the ceiling line above the fireplace was separating and the nails that were used in the drywall were starting to pop out. They were so picky that they repaired the .ceiling joint above the fireplace so that it was not showing a big crack, and they dug out all the nails, replaced them with the proper drywall screws, and patched the wall. before they painted those areas. We have cathedral ceilings, so your eye is always drawn upward. They did such a perfect job of cutting in! All the employees were a pleasure to work with, and not only did they do a great job on the painting, but they did a few other miscellaneous items as well, and cleaned up after themselves when they were finished.A little pricey, but a good experience overall. I would highly recommend them.

I recently purchased a new house and in the course of remodeling needed to have some walls textured. I called a couple of companies for quotes. I spoke to Chris at Mud Slingers and he was able to come to the house the next day for a quote. After showing him the area I wanted textured and the type I was thinking, he had some really good ideas about how different textures could create different looks and hide some imperfections in the walls. I took his advice and hired him for the job. I spoke to him for the first time on a Tuesday, he gave me the quote on Wednesday, and started work on Friday. By Saturday he and the team finished and it looks amazing. Very flexible on scheduling and punctual on timing. Spraying is typically very messy / dusty but they did a great job of keeping the areas sealed off. Very happy with the result.

We hired Chris and his crewto perform a variety of drywall repairs on our 23-year old home. We are very happy with the results. Communication was excellent throughout. Before we agreed to any work commitment, we were provided with a thorough and detailed estimate of the work to be performed. While the estimate was not broken down into a specific cost per item, we were OK with this due to the nature of the work to be performed. The work itself was performed with a high level of attention to keeping the work areas well masked and clean. The crew had to work around existing furniture, and everything was well-covered and protected throughout. A few repair surprises were encountered along the way and were corrected. We had agreed to perform a certain amount of preparation ahead of the job, including wallpaper stripping and surface preparation. Chris provided great advice on all that, including a loan of tools that helped that process go so much faster. The end results were just what we wanted. New drywall sections were installed, taped and sanded seamlessly. The new surface coatings were expertly applied. All other problem areas were addressed. In some cases, Chris went above and beyond to make sure it was "done right". We had also planned on doing our own priming and painting after the completion of the work, and Chris provided us with additional guidance to assist us with that. We will definitely work with Chris and Mud Slingers again for future drywall work, and possibly for tile work as well.
Description of Work: Repaired and rebuilt a water damaged ceiling section of drywall. Removed and replaced a wall section of drywall to discover, clean out and remedy rodent damage. New insulation, vapor barrier and drywall was installed and rebuilt. Repaired moisture damage on bathroom ceilings. Repaired a variety of drywall cracks and defects, some requiring extra reconstruction. Applied spray texture (sand coat) in several rooms that were formerly wallpapered. Provided guidance on surface preparation prior to job. Provided additional tools on loan.

I like to get 4 estimates on big jobs like this. I've never had this bad experience before. My other 3 estimates were very detailed, and they did not charge for them.
Description of Work: After coming to the house,Chris provided a total price over the phone, for performing a basement remodeling project. When we asked for a written estimate, and breakdown of costs, Chris replied that he only "wrote something up " after the customer agreed to the job. We insisted ,and he eventually provided an invoice form,(no name or number of his company or number) with a paragraph description of work, and a lump sum price ,with still no breakdown. The lump sum price was 875.00 more than the price given over the phone.We decided to use another contractor who was less expensive,could do all the work we needed done on this project, and gave a detailed line item estimate. When we informed Chris of our decision, he was quite upset,and informed us he was going to be charging us 75.00 for his "estimate". Later, he left a voice message that there may be a judgement or a lien on our house if we did not pay the $75.00 in 30 days.We made the right decision.

I was told by customer that we had the job and that see want do a contract siging ,when I got there all they wanted was the written estimate not to sign contract. Thats why there was a $75 charge! I explain to every potental customer that my free estimate includes me coming and looking at job and calling back with prices. i try to keep everyone happy but it alaway dont workout!

We contacted Chris to have a repair done to our garage ceiling. We were closing on our home and needed the repair done in order to complete the sale. Christ stopped by one evening, gave us the estimate and was able to fit us into his schedule the very next week. They were there at the promised time, cleaned up all the mess, and were gone in no time. It was a very nice experience.

This is my third time using Mudslingers. Chris is very punctual and responsive. He gives a free estimate, shows up on time, finishes the work on schedule and at the budget, and does high quality work. They are a bit more expensive than other painters, but worth it.
Description of Work: Paint walls and ceiling in study and repair minor water damage on ceiling.
We needed to have some cracks in our cement basement floor filled and the floor and interior walls painted. We also wanted to have some exterior walls waterproofed. On the original walk-thru with Chris, we decided to have a wall sheet-rocked. He gave us a great price and we decided on a date. Chris called two days before the start to make sure everything was still a go. On the day, Chris and his crew, Alex and Max arrived on time and ready to go. They explained each step and kept us well informed every day. As the week went on, we discovered that there were exterior walls that needed more extensive waterproofing. Chris also suggested sheet-rocking another wall because the original finish on the wall wasn't allowing the paint to "stick". These were added to the project and Chris "threw in" painting the trim gratis. We were told the job would take a week and true to their word it was done in a week. They were great, very professional, and very considerate. The end result was terrific! We couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Mudslingers.

This was a very good experience. (see above)
Description of Work: We had extensive water damage to a bedroom ceiling that had been patched by another handyman but poorly done. As we are selling this condo we felt we needed to have a better repair job done. Chris came and took a look and convinced us we needed a whole new ceiling. He was right. They ran into problems due to the previous work and that upped the price but was worth it. The ceilng looks better than the original. The work men were on time and my ex-neighbors tell me they really worked hard and no "goofing off" took place. Kris also did some extra caulking and even went in and checked on the job a cleaning crew did because we are to far away to just stop by. He even went to the store and replaced a light bulb that had been broken by the cleaning crew.

Chris and his crew did an excellent job. The painting inside and out was excellent. They started exactly when they said they would and finished in a week--exactly as they said they would. Chris is very professional and took care to call us each evening to ask if we had any questions and to get feedback. The final price was very fair. We highly recommend Mud Slingers.

Chris & his crew are absolutely great to work with. They are professional, helpful, & respectful. If I had concerns or questions they were dealt with. Chris and his crew were always approachable. The job was tricky with many angles. I am very happy with the results and will certainly recommend Mudd Slingers.
Description of Work: Chris bid on a job that was partially complete, because of a change in my plans. The job was located on the third floor (attic) of a 90 + year old structure and not your run of the mill project. I asked Chris to match the new work with old. His scope included hanging (including shaving drywall to appropriate angle to meet existing work), taping, mudding, blending, and texturing the unfinished new construction 4' kneewalls with a recently finished but original rafters/ ceiling. The job also included a swinging kneewall, semi-walkin closet, 3 built-in cabinets, stairway from second floor to third, a tricky pocket door and two large windows. Approximately 19 sheets of drywall which had to be cut into 1/2 in order to get them up the 3 flights of stairs. Chris also scraped, mudded, sanded, & textured the front entry. The entry is basically 2 stories from front door to Flat entry. I cut 3" holes between joists in both stairwells to blow insulation in walls these also were patched.

We chose Mud Slinger's because they were flexible and could get our interior painting done earlier than others we had contacted. We had 3 holes to be patched and numerous shift cracks to be smoothed out. Chris came in the evening to keep the job on target and he locked the door behind him when we were not home. The patching and crack smoothing were perfect and our old home has smooth walls just like a new one! Chris is professional and conscientious. The only caveat is to be absolutely sure that what you want painted or the work you want done is included in your contract and estimate; this goes for any contractor. We would definitely hire Mud Slinger's again.

Chris and his crew did an outstanding job! I called him for an estimate and he returned my call within 3 hours and was out later that day to write up the estimate. Since I was working with a contractor on the new construction, I had a rough idea what week he would be able to get in to do his work, but I did know that it was going to be short notice, and he assured me that would not be a problem. I put him in contact with our contractor and they worked it out (Chris was very flexible, which was verty appreciated!). In fact my contractor commented on how easy it was to work with Chris and asked for some of his business cards. Mudslingers started on a Monday with laying down 2 coats of primer; Tuesday painting; Wednesday after putting down second coat noticed that a third coat was need on certain areas and came in on Thursday to finish. Chris and his crew cleaned up after themselves every day, the quality of the work was outstanding, and Chris was an easy guy to work with, very customer orientated! I highly recommend Mudslingers to anyone.
