Joel does amazing drywall work!! We first asked him to do the drywall to fill a large hole in the ceiling and wall left by a non load bearing wall we had removed. It turned out great! You could not tell where the wall was at.
We were so impressed we then had him do the drywall in the backsplash area of our kitchen. Then he dry walled our remodeled bathroom, as well as our office. You will not be disappointed when you hire Joel to do your drywall work.
Joel is an expert at his craft! We had a large amount of drywall that needed to be repaired and he was able to get it all knocked out in one day. He was very responsive and very respectful of our space. Would highly recommend him for any drywall needs you may have! Thank you!

Joel is a drywall expert! He was quick to reply, available the same week for repair work, and was extremely thorough. Joel made the section of wall he replaced look seamless! You would never know there was prior damage.

Joel and his team couldn't have been better to work with. He was responsive to all my drywall needs and even noted some other home improvement projects that he could lend a hand on. We'd readily turn to Joel again.

I started out as a helper when I was a teenager during the summertime. After graduating, I began working full time and eventually branched out on my own.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
A homeowner added popcorn texture removal to their project list while replacing flooring in the main bedroom. Short on time, they contacted me to do the ceiling work and I was able come out the next day to complete the project in one work day. The homeowners were excited to move back into their room after the work was completed.
