COOLEY DRYWALL PAINTING & REPAIR

Very personably & friendly, called me by my first name, I have 2 toddlers that were very curious as to what he was doing & he talked to them showing what he was doing. The patch looks good price was reasonable, will be calling him again for some indoor painting later this winter.

<strong>I would not recommend Mark Cooley for any future work!  <br /> </strong>I created a general scope of work and even had a drawing with dimensions for the work to ensure <br /> he and I were on the same page when he bid out the work.  Initially, <br /> everything was going well and Mark was very responsive (showing up <br /> around 9-10 am everyday) to stud up the walls.  He mentioned he was out <br /> of work, so he was more than happy to work on my project, but he <br /> couldn't give me a quote on drywall until the stud work was nearly <br /> complete.  I waited on his quote for drywall while he continued his stud <br /> work.  Finally, he was able to give me a quote of $3,100 for drywalling (with materials) <br /> when I got two additional quotes (1) $2,750 (with materials) 2) $2,600 (with materials)) that were well <br /> under his quote.  Mark's response was he couldn't go lower and he didn't <br /> know how they were that low, so based on his workmanship errors and his <br /> price, I chose to go with another drywall contractor.  The questionable <br /> workmanship errors were:  studs were bowing out about 1/2-1", crooked <br /> walls, no ceiling support every 16" (more like 30-60" which would have <br /> had the drywall sag) and no over hangs for drywall to fasten.  I <br /> confronted him and he immediately said he would be correcting all of <br /> these issues.  He said he would be back Monday (2/25/13) to finish up <br /> and correct the errors.  Instead, I received a text message "I will not <br /> be returning!  I fell u have taken adxantage of my experience and <br /> generosity!  Good luck with ur project!"  Now I am left getting the <br /> drywaller that bid lower than he to fix Mark's mistakes for an <br /> additional cost.  I would take Mark to small claims court, but the fees <br /> ($90) and time wasted is not worth re-couping the couple hundred of <br /> dollars from him. <br />

He gave us a quote, Did the job,and did extra things we wanted done. Such as Primed,And painted drywall,did the crown molding <br />  and painted molding upstairs. <br />

They are very  professional, courteous, prompt and I would recommend them.

Cleaned up spills and drips left behind. Will need to repaint some of the kitchen. Nice job on the sheet rock repair.

Good.  He was timely and he does quality work.  The only thing was when I went to check over everything, he had missed one of the insides of the bedroom closets. <br /> <br /> Again the only issues I had were with contacting him and having him follow-up (which was NOT timely) and the fact that he brought the smell of smoke into my home. <br />

The builder of our home did not put tiles high enough around the shower heads. Mark came and fixed the drywall in 2 bathrooms. He noticed a hole in my son's bedroom door and fixed it also. He was on time, cleaned up before he left and the work looks great.

Job went very smoothly from start to finish.

Mark did an excellent job on our house we are preparing to sell.  I went with him due to his expertise, reputation, and extremely fair price.  Mr. Cooley did some drywall repair and painted the interior of our house, and was able to do the work within a very reasonable time period.  We were very satisfied, and plan to use Mark again in the near future! 

We found Mark on Angie's list, had him do some drywall repair work and are extremely pleased. We will call him to have any work done in the future.

Was trying to sell my house and noticed Drywall damage near the staircase leading to basement.  Was really desparate as people were coming to see the house and needed to get the same fixed ASAP.  Got these guys from Angie's list and explained the situation.  They had other jobs scheduled but talked to one of their other jobs and were able to get the people and machinery to my house and get it done immediately into the wee hours of the night.  They came back the next day and painted the area and we sold the house subsequently without problem.  Great Job!! They did the drywall, then smoothed it out with the machine and came back the next day and painted it to match the other parts of the walls. They also were very reasonable and did not try to take advantage of our desperate need to get the house fixed.

Very punctual, very accommodating. I had a few changes, and he was very patient with me. The price was right, and if I ever had more drywall work to be done, I would hire him again. Very knowledgable and has plenty of experience.

Mark did an excellent job of drywall finishing. He had to match the "orange peel" finish of the wall and ceiling and it was perfect.

Mark replaced the wall, removed all waste materials, and cleaned up completely. After he did the "mudding," he came back a couple of days later to sand and "re-mud." The wall looks brand new!

We had an urgency to get this done due to a closing and Mark and team came the same day did the work at night and also came back next day to paint it. Awesome Job.

Repaired drywall in my Cedar Rapids Home. From 4 feet down to the floor due to flood water damage. Was on time and efficiently worked, cleaned up after themselves!!!! And made everything new again He is a great professional company! Thanks Mark
