Pasadena Drywall Contractors

"Dutch removed the ceiling, left a in the floor, and left a big tear in my screen door. I foolishly paid him for the day expecting he would return to install the . I called and left numerous voicemails to find out when he would be back to complete the job, but I never heard from him again.

"I purchased the "Big Deal" coupon for a "Week of General Contractor Expertise'". Owner, Fox ( ), reached out to me right away. In spite of some stops and starts, we were able to meet to discuss my projects and set a date to begin the work Unfortunately, before we could begin ...more on any projects, an electrician was required to check the electrical in the house, particularly where there seemed to be no power on one side of the house.

recommended Nick Haramis (separate note on him) who took care of the electrical problem.

's team of one,

, was able to begin work and did a fantastic job.

's Law intervened and a few of the projects ballooned beyond the 40-hour coupon. However,

was able to accomplish a great deal during those 40 hours. I appreciate that

's folks arrived and worked steady, cleaned up, and did not balk at presenting identification when asked. Looking forward to working with

,

and

(who perfectly handled the drywall) in the future.

"As a homeowner, I understand that repairs will be expensive at times. When I found water damage around my front door, I called several contractors to come look at it. I went with KD Sweet Construction because they seemed confident they could do the work quickly and eliminate both the damage and the source. On the day of their work, I did much of ...more the demolition work myself yet, later, the bill reflected a greater total than the initially estimated $650. I had expected to be under the estimate, if anything. I had even purchased most of the materials (pre-hung door, luan for the floor, trim). I scratched my head and called the owner,

to ask if the bill was a mistake. He explained everything to me, but I still got the feeling that his price was inflated considering my contributions to the situation.
The owner showed up on time and explained the job briefly to two of his workers. Then he left and I was left to try to communicate with them (Spanish and some broken English). This wasn't the most confidence inspiring move and I felt a bit uncomfortable with it.
The work was sufficient and looked professional. There were some minor gaps that I later filled in with compound later before I painted. Overall, the work was good but not great.
When done, the workers cleaned up fairly well and I had only minor dirt and dust to finish cleaning. That was nice.
The final price reflected $90 in materials and $680 in labor. This I found a bit high, but

seemed to justify his workers' time at my house with the work done.
I would not hire this company again. I expect more for the price I was charged and the work did not reflect what I got. Save yourself some money!

"This project was a doozie! it involved renovation, addition to an older shore home. Bringing it up to the expectations we had and wanting it to fit into an old waterfront neighborhood that is changing daily was a lot of work. The contractor had to work within the confines of the existing footprint while making the old house retain it old-time charm ...more and adding the new mostly wide open concept look so great from inside and the outside looking onto the site!
We had a lot of rain at that time which was a problem when a roof is removed! However, we all stayed dry and got thru it.

's crew saw to it that we were fine and minimized any problem situations.
A major project like this is difficult, and we knew it going in, but its always more difficult when you really go thru it. However, I was still working, my husband was retired, mostly home, and

and crew were trustworthy and we did not have any concerns with him being in the house and on the site if we had to be out of the house.
That means a lot nowadays! Not everyone is honest and trustworthy.
I was so anxious for the rooms to be done I probably drove him nuts, but he was fine and just got it done as quickly as possible.and we thank him for that."

"The fantastic way I was treated, 's extensive knowledge of the trade, sense if humor (important while in a stressful situation such as spending money), and straight forward ways - and great communication skills- I will use his services when I find the right property. "

"This was a great project. It had to be completed in a short amount of time due to a personal vacation and they stayed late until it was done, and did it right. They were very respectful of my home by laying out drop cloths throughout the house wherever they would be working/walking. They went above and beyond the scope of the project to make sure the ...more bathroom turned out correctly. Also, they were on time everyday. If any changes or questions came up I was notified which was appreciated. I will definitely be calling them again when I am ready to redo my other bathroom."

" came out to do the initial visit and was obviously very knowledgeable, and he clearly understood our goals and requirements. He and his staff provided us with the information about the choices we had to make, and once we had made them, they submitted a very detailed estimate, with every expense (including profit) as a separate ...more line item. The cost was extremely reasonable. We were in a pretty big hurry, and

worked us into his schedule as best he could. The first pleasant surprise was that they were actually able to move up the promised start date, due to circumstances with some other projects they were working on. Once underway, the project went very quickly and smoothly. They were very careful about moving the existing appliances out of the room and storing them securely, and they built a complete dustwall to protect the rest of our house. The job was overseen by

, and the craftsmen who spent the most time at our house during the project were

and

. These three gentlemen could not possibly have been

, more accommodating, or more pleasant to have around. Really, that sentence is true about everyone who participated in the work, but these were the folks we had the most contact with, and by the end of the project, we felt like they were friends. The kitchen came out beautifully. All the work--ceramic tile, drywall, painting, cabinet installation, counter tops, everything was done skillfully and with real professional pride. After reading the Angie's list reviews for this company, we expected this--and we feel that we completely got it. A great company to do business with, and terrific people to trust your home to."

"Called and got a prompt response with a written cost estimate. Agreed to the contract and the work was scheduled. The crew showed up promptly on the scheduled day and for the next 4 days it took to get the job finished. It was usually a 2 or 3 man crew each day. When the ceiling came down we had to make adjustments to the work which was taken in ...more stride and the cost was re-assessed and lowered to reflect the final job. The crew was friendly, courteous and took good care of my furniture which had to stay in the room. It was a messy job but they cleaned up well and put all my heavy pieces of furniture back in place before they left. I was very pleased with their work and would use them again next time I need work done. "

"He was very punctual and professional. He got work done in a timely manner. While uncovering drywall, he found a major problem with my house. He let me know all the bad news. He didn't just cover it up. We had some wood rot coming in. He told me how to proceed from there, including who to call. I'm planning to have some major work done ...more in the future, and I'll call him back."

"The work was phenomenal! When he was gone and finished, there were some spots that had to be reopened for another purpose so he sent out two guys who patched those areas for nothing. I will absolutely hire him again, hands down."
