San Diego Drywall Contractors

" and his team of subcontractors did an amazing job remodeling our kitchen. We did a ground up remodel, where we also knocked out the wall from the kitchen to the living room, separating the two rooms with a countertop. This really opened up our otherwise 'cozy' living room. The results are nothing short of spectacular and the ...more attention to detail was extraordinary. The job started with

and

drafting up a model based on our request of the remodel. The model/draft included AutoCAD type (computer drawings) pictures of what our new kitchen would look like. After feedback,

provided a written estimate detailing what he and his team would do and what we would need to provide. We preferred to pick and purchase our appliances and fixtures such as sink and faucets and have

do the installs. Other contractors we interviewed included getting appliances, etc, but with

we picked everything and saved $. The job started with demoing the complete kitchen: cabinets, ancient appliances, plumbing, ceiling including lighting, flooring, and the wall between the living room. Next, a supporting beam had to be installed because the removed wall had load bearing posts.

had the demo done in TWO DAYS and the beam in within the next week. They were so fast, my wife and I hadn't even started shopping for appliances yet, so we had to catch up. One piece of constructive criticism we gave

, was that because we'd never done a remodel of anything before, we would have liked more lead time for when he was ready for items. As I said, they were so fast with each phase, we seemed to scramble to have the next pieces for them. After the demo and beam, they worked the drywall which is textured stucco. This included matching spanish style arches on each end of the wall, then tying in a perpendicular arch. The result is a work of art and the stucco texture perfectly matches the rest of the house. The drywall included patching over an old doorway from the exterior into the kitchen as well as one window where our refrigerator would now be located. The exterior stucco also matches perfectly. This whole time

worked to move plumbing, venting, electrical outlets, switches and gas lines for our range. Next, the floor was put in. We purchased pretty cheap, but durable porcelain tile from home depot as it is not the focus of our kitchen and we were spending more elsewhere. Even so, it came out very well and

's sub contractor

did a great job. The kitchen is a galley style (now more open) so we went for diagonal/diamond pattern floor instead of standard grid/box pattern to add a little style. This made more work for

, but he was quick, the grout lines are even and smooth and there are perfect cuts around our cabinet boxes.

had the cabinet boxes ready and installed as

was finishing the floor. With the floor done and cabinet boxes in,

was ready for us to pick out our granite for the counter tops. We also opted to do a tile backsplash, which

was ready to do at this time as well. The backsplash was a bit of a challenge for us to do since neither of us are designers or decorators, so we had to delay

and his team a bit as we decided on a pattern we liked. In the end we have already received multiple complements on it, but it was a bit stressful. Some of the tile stores have designers that can work with you (ie Arizona Tile).

gave us a good list of 6+ tile companies he recommended, but if you order something not in stock, be forewarned it could take more than a few days. We also picked out the sink so it could be installed under-counter with the granite. With the granite and backsplash done, next up was plumbing and faucets. We decided to have a countertop disposal button, new disposal, new faucet and an undersink water filter and water heater that both go up to a separate faucet at the corner of the sink.

also installed our dishwasher at the same time to tie in the plumbing with the sink (note: the kitchen did not previously have a dishwasher so he had to run the separate electrical to a new circuit breaker, new plumbing, etc). After the plumbing was completed the team walked me through the fixtures to confirm there were no leaks anywhere. One challenge we had was that the water filter did not tie into the hot water tank and faucet that we chose, so we had to return it and order another one. The second time, we sent the specs to

to review before purchasing, so he could confirm it would all match up. I would highly recommend sending him the make and model of almost everything you purchase so he can be sure it will work as it will save you time spent on returns and shipping new items, etc.

was then ready to install the cabinet panels and doors. We chose stylish Plyboo brand bamboo cabinets in flat grain Amber color. When we originally picked the cabinets we originally thought it would look different, but that was based on the sample book that plyboo provided with 4x4 inch squares of samples, and their website did not have enough samples to get an accurate idea of the look.

responded with outstanding customer service offering to redo the work if we purchased new materials. In the end we decided to go with the plyboo we already bought and if we didn't like it in a year or so, redo it. Besides,

did very custom work where he matched the grain of the bamboo so that each section of cabinets looks like a single block of wood. This includes the corners, which would usually have separate grain ends but he miter the corner joints so that the grain wraps around the sides. It was so well done, Plyboo has asked to feature the cabinets on their site. Once the cabinets were done,

put in the refrigerator (we kept the previous GE Profile as it was the only new appliance in the kitchen before the remodel) and installed the our slide-in gas range. We were going to wait to install the range hood first, but it arrived broken and we waited so long for a replacement, he went ahead and installed the stovetop so that we could start using the kitchen again. With the kitchen essentially done, the can lighting was installed, with 3 pendants hanging over the countertop separating the kitchen from the living room. Lastily to tie it all together they painted all the walls. The compliments haven't stopped coming in."

"Outstanding, was on time everyday. The quality of his work is excellent, he was cheerful, very knowledgeable and provided recommendations on how best to achieve the results I was looking for. He takes pride in his work and wants to have the best results for the customer. I will definitely be using him again when I remodel my house."

"Our experience with was excellent. The price was what we expected to pay for that type of a job. was very polite and professional. Where the new drywall for the closet connected to the existing drywall on the wall adjacent to the closet, made a nearly seamless connection. You have ...more to look closely to tell that any work was done there. We were very pleased."

"1) Diagnosed need for flashing over exterior french doors. 2) Did flashing on exterior wall over garage roof. 3) Smoothed wall and painted in living room. 4) Repaired termite damage under clerestory window and re-stuccoed, also sealed window."

"Overall the work was good. Unless you are a contractor, owner's rep, or an architect, it will be a little hard to understand and get a good quote. I feel like since I have some experience it was easier for me to understand. I have worked on a lot of commercial jobs, and this was the first residential job that I have dealt with. The price was acceptable. "

"He is very good and can do just about everything! It was an incredible feat when he reinforced the banister. He comes when he says he is coming, does not overcharge, and is extremely honest. He charges for the time that he is there and works quickly. He is very adjustable in scheduling, respectful, and accommodating. Overall, he is really a great guy!"

"Better than I thought it would after watching the preparation steps. The mess was much greater than I ever expected. The clean up was much better than I thought it could be with all the mess of the removal and re-texture process. The estimate was pretty close to the actual price and quite fair. The skylights needed some extra attention not noted ...more in the estimate.

was only one of two who called me back asking if I had made a decision yet. His price was the most competitive The whole process made me vow to never have an acoustic ceiling removed with me and my things still in a house. It is a labor intensive job made more difficult with a house full of furniture/things and I'm glad I didn't have to do it."

"This time it was for 3 Bedrooms with the same work being done. and CJ arrived on time, as their crews always do, performed to job to my complete satisfaction, prepared and cleaned all areas of work. If you need any sort of or "popcorn" removal done, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE TO CALL WITHOUT HESITATION. I will ...more be using them again for a 3rd time in the near future. EXCELLENT PRICES AND WORK! CALL THEM!"
