J did an amazing job. He was super professional, unlike previous contractors in the past. Realistically I wish I could select all the categories because the work quality was great, even though something came up during the original date he was scheduled to work, but he did come through and was responsive and kept in touch. He was the cheapest out of all the contractors I called. We had to cut a hole in my ceiling because of a drain that leaked and he came and repaired the drywall all in one day and matched the texture. Truly deserves more than 5 stars.

I had a great experience with this drywall restoration service! He was very responsive, showed up right on time, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout. The pricing was very fair, with no surprise charges. Not only did he do excellent patchwork, but he also went above and beyond by fixing a small issue on my wall at no extra cost. The quality of work was outstanding. I’m very satisfied and would definitely hire him again. A great professional all around!
