FAQ: Questions That We Get Asked Often
Can you scrape my popcorn ceilings smooth?

Small jobs can usually be scheduled within a week. Larger jobs may take up to two weeks before we can fit them in.

How long have you been in business?
Jason, the owner, has been doing drywall since 2001.
I started doing drywall in July 2001. For the first 10 years I only did drywall of new homes and commercial.building. I saw a shortage of skilled tradesman willing to do drywall work in occupied homes and the ones that did were more painters than drywall finishers. When the housing market collapsed in 2008 I began to do more and more work for homeowners and less new buildings. My talent at marketing and skill at the trade allowed me to excel in this area of drywall. Today we have a 5 star rating on google are licenced and insured and have years of happy references.
