"Our 30+ year old drop ceilings needed to be replaced throughout the first floor. Of the 3 contractors who bid the job, Brain Yocum?s <br /> estimate came right in at the middle of the range. My husband and I are delighted with the finished work, and feel we certainly got what we paid for. <br /> Brian and his crew removed 525 sq ft of drop ceilings and installed drywall over the old ceiling. The new ceilings were taped and spackled <br /> a couple of times before they were painted. New drop tiles were installed in our off-kilter kitchen grid. Additionally, our stairwell ceiling was painted. <br /> If The Wallologist ever needs a slogan, I would suggest ?Committed to Quality?. That quality extends to customer service as well as the actual physical work. On those rare days when we were told someone would be here to do work and it had to be delayed, Brian always called to let us know that the schedule changed, and told us when it would resume. <br /> No doubt?I recommend you hire this guy! <br />"

"Called Koren Plumbing at 7:30 AM and told them that my Well pump seemed to have quit. Chris called back within minutes, was here within an hour. After diagnosing the problem, a team was here by 10AM to install a new well pump. Water was flowing by Noon. It doesn't get any better than that!"

"We were very apprehensive about needing extensive work done to waterproof our finished basement after experiencing massive flooding. From the moment we met Mike from A+ waterproofing, our minds were put at ease. He was very knowledgeable and presented us with many options to meet our needs. We were concerned how the process would affect our living space, since the basement was already finished. As soon as the A+ team arrived, they went above and beyond to ensure that their work was top notch. They went out of their way to clean up after themselves. From laying down floor mats, to vacuuming, and leaf blowing the yard of debris, these guys did it all. We are very satisfied with their work, customer service, and company as a whole. The finished result far exceeded our expectations and gave us peace of mind that the job was done correctly."

"I found Gene Lakin on Angie's List and he replied to my inquiry about a price quote on the same day. When he came to our home to do the estimate, it turned out that my father in law was Gene's football coach in elementary and middle school! Upon doing the assessment of the damage, we determined that we had a and quot;double ceilingand quot; in our bedroom -- meaning that the original construction had a plaster ceiling which had drywall hung over it. Gene expressed concern about repairing the drywall without having the area tested for mold since there was probably standing water in between the two ceilings. He advocated for mold remediation with our insurance company and they agreed. He truly went to bat for us! He attended the initial inspection with the mold company as well, removed a small piece of the drywalled ceiling and, in fact, there was mold. Gene visited two days after the mold issue was addressed and gave a final estimate. We scheduled him to begin working the next day. He and a helper did the bulk of the work on Wednesday and finished the job on Thursday and Friday. The ceiling is seamless, the drywall was done without a flaw, the other room he worked on is in great shape as well. I would highly recommend him. <br /> <br /> In addition, Gene goes above and beyond his craft. He offered to bring back lunch from a local eatery when he went to eat, always answered my calls and emails promptly, and was very friendly. He was a pleasure to work with, and we paid for his expertise with no reservations."

"Dave is a AMAZING. I had a flood in my home and didn't know the first thing about submitting a claim to my homeowner's insurance. I hired Dave to serve as my public adjuster and he dealt with my insurance company and their adjuster. From the moment I contacted him, Dave was responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. He came out asap, assessed the damage in my home, and arranged for remediation services to dry the water damaged areas. He then worked with the claims inspector from my homeowner's insurance, cataloguing the damage and negotiating prices for replacements and repairs. When Dave came out to meet with the inspector, he noticed that one of the walls that had been remediated wasn't completely dry so he immediately arranged to have the remediation company come back out and dry it out completely. Dave is extremely knowledgeable and he walked me through every step of the process. He negotiated an excellent payout from my insurance company that was more than sufficient to repair the damage to my home. Even after the claim was negotiated and his job was technically done, Dave was always available to answer any questions I had. The process of hiring a contractor for these repairs took longer than expected and Dave checked in periodically and offered helpful advice and guidance. At one point, when I was having difficulty navigating the process of dealing with my homeowner's insurance, Dave even offered to step in and serve as my representative to make sure that things were okay. Dave made a daunting process much, much easier and far less stressful. He is an absolute treasure."

Scheduled to start on 20th but was delayed one day due to truck problems.The paint job was completed on schedule in 2 days with the owner and another worker. Missed the space behind the refridgerator but came back and completed the job. The job was completed on time and I was very satisfied with the results. I will use them again for other paint jobs as neded."
