Customers say: Quick response

Work is not what i do it's my passion i enjoy what i do drywall taping and painting. I have worked in the trade for more than 15 years I have done Commercial and residential work. I am employed at another company yet i also find time to do side jobs. I have worked for them 10 Years. I do Speak Spanish and English send me a text or an email I do like to take a look at the jobs to give an estimate Or just give me a call.

"Alberto came only on Sundays for a few hours , took him around 2 months to finish ,every time he left the basement was dirty, when he left he said it was ready to paint but the walls and ceiling had to be dusted so the paint would adhere to the drywall, there are cracks in the ceiling joints and humps on the walls which probably need to be sanded again, and when I call him he doesn't respond. He finally came by and told me something totally different than what he said to get the job. He told me he wasn't going to repair his shoddy work. DO NOT USE HIM (I believe he gives his wife's name and number as a reference)"

"For the 20 years we have been in our house, we used The Kitchen Master for our kitchen, our master bathroom, our hall bathroom and the best **** mud room you will ever see. Jennifer is an extraordinary designer and Ted is a perfectionist who will make sure his team delivers top notch work. For our first project, the kitchen, we ordered the cabinets through The Kitchen Master but had our own contractor install them. Big mistake! A few years later when Ted came to the house for the next project, he was so disappointed with how my contractor hung the kitchen cabinets that he fixed them for me. I’ve never used anyone else since. We haven’t had a major project in about 5 years but when I decided to sell my house, I needed a few things fixed to make everything look great. Some water damage below the sink had warped that cabinet, a toe kick was beyond a simple touch-up, and then I broke a glass pane in one of the kitchen cabinets 2 weeks before showings were to start. Ted and his team hopped right on it when I called. They didn’t have to do that. My work wasn’t going to be a big money maker and I’m moving out of state so there isn’t the promise of a lot of work in my next house. But none of that mattered. Ted and his team made me feel like they always make me feel - like my project was the most important one in the world."

Drywall installations FAQs

Professional installation in an average-sized room (approximately 150 square feet) typically requires one to two full workdays. Larger spaces or projects involving texture removal may extend to three or four days. Additional time may be needed for painting or staining if not included in the initial installation. Weather conditions can affect drying times for adhesives and finishes, potentially extending the overall project timeline.

Beadboard features narrow vertical planks with rounded ridges ("beads") running between grooves, creating a traditional, detailed appearance. Shiplap consists of wider horizontal boards with overlapping edges that create distinctive shadow lines between panels. Beadboard offers a more formal, classic aesthetic often associated with cottage or Victorian styles, while shiplap provides a more contemporary or rustic look popular in farmhouse and coastal designs.

Beadboard can work well in humid environments when appropriate materials are selected. Vinyl or PVC beadboard offers superior moisture resistance for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other high-humidity spaces. Traditional wood beadboard requires thorough sealing with moisture-resistant paint or clear finishes to prevent warping or mold growth. MDF beadboard generally performs poorly in damp locations and should be avoided in these applications.

Beadboard can be installed directly over popcorn ceilings provided the existing texture is firmly attached and the ceiling structure is sound. However, testing for asbestos is essential for popcorn ceilings installed before the 1980s. Professional texture removal costs $1.30 to $2.50 per square foot, while asbestos remediation runs significantly higher at $3 to $7 per square foot. Direct installation over popcorn texture may affect the final appearance and requires careful planning for fixture integration.

Regular maintenance involves gentle dusting with a soft brush attachment on your vacuum or a microfiber duster to prevent dirt accumulation in grooves. For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen a soft cloth with a mild cleaning solution appropriate for your beadboard material. Avoid excessive moisture, particularly with wood or MDF installations. Painted beadboard may require occasional touch-ups or repainting every 5-7 years, while stained wood might need resealing periodically to maintain its protective finish.
