Buddy was attentive, thorough and communicated well outside of work hours when I had a couple pressing questions. He treated us first-time homeowners with respect and walked us through his process. He made sure to protect our furniture during his work. He quoted us well within our price range and gave us a realistic expectation for his workâ our walls were peeling and riddled with cracks and for what we were able to pay he exceeded our expectations..

Kelleyâ s was priced right about the same as others and did a fantastic job. We had two rooms and our hallway that just needed textured to match as the next step in our remodel. He touched up a few spots of the mud work and got the new texture to blend beautifully with the existing walls and ceiling. In and out in one day and was very careful with things and didnâ t leave a mess.

Good work for a good price, but when I requested more work on another project, he indicated he would do it, but kept putting me off until I gave up. I would rather he just tell me he didn't want the second job, than keep me waiting for weeks that I could have used working with someone else.

Buddy and his brother were fantastic! He kept in touch with me as my counter top install date was changed so that he could be ready to go when they were finally installed. They helped me pick a paint to blend the existing tile with the new counter top. And best of all, their perfectionist ways resulted in absolutely beautiful walls and paint job!!!! You would never have known that this was a repair job in the bathrooms where large mirrors previously hung. They patched not only a sizable hole where I did not want to keep a medicine cabinet, but they repaired someone else's previous drywall mistake. They helped me brainstorm a solution to a towel hook problem and then fixed it on their own!! All of this with minimal mess during a couple days worth of drywall and painting. Definitely recommend! Makes me want to repaint the rest of my house!

Kelley Drywall repaired several walls in our home, including plaster walls in our living room and kitchen, a very beat-up stairwell, and drywall in the basement. We are very impressed with the quality of the finished project. The walls, some of which had water damage, look brand new. They took their time and showed attention to detail in the finish work. Given how messy projects like this can be, they did a good job of cleaning up each day. They were also friendly, courteous, and professional. Not only that, but their estimate came in at under half of what another local contractor wanted. I recommend Kelley Drywall very highly and will definitely use them again for any future projects.

Buddy, and his crew are awesome! Their work is quick, and high quality. We have an older home that had a few problem areas, but the guys came up with options on how to fix them. They are very friendly, always returned phone calls, followed up with us when our project was delayed a week due to another trade, and cleaned up after they were finished. I will be calling Kelley Drywall for all of my drywall projects in the future!

Kelley Drywall did a great job repairing a 12" X 12" damaged area of drywall in our house. After the work was done it was impossible to tell the repaired area from the original wall. Highly recommend them.

This project was riddled with delays and Kelley Drywall work with us on the delays. When a framing problem was found they found us a contractor to make repairs within a workable time frame. This was a long process but when all was said and done, the ceiling and walls are great. I would recommend Kelley and Brian will hire again when needed.

This is my second project done by Kelley Drywall. The plumber had to cut holes in my dining rm. wall & ceiling to find a leak. Buddy repaired it to perfection. Large or small projects they do it right. Very, very happy!

Kelley Drywell did a great job of leveling the ceiling and matching the existing texture. We had another contractor remove a partial wall. They did a horrible job of repairing the ceiling. Kelley did a great job of repairing another's mess. Excellent job at a fair price. I would highly recommend them.
