Drywaller needed

[inactive]

I’m interested to know if anyone has a Rec for a drywaller who is reliable and flexible and does good work.

I’ve got a lot of electrical work holes – some small some huge, as well as some areas newly furred. A wee bit of hardi-back too around washer and utility dink.

Thx

A neighbor used these folks. I saw the finished work later and was impressed with their workmanship.

Thanks so much Kevin –

Since I posted, I’ve decided I’m going to try to do this myself, with a bit of help for the heavy lifting. It’s not as though I always wanted to try drywalling, but it is definitely cost effective. I will be putting wall covering on sections of it anyway, so even if I really screw it up I can hide some of it. THAT I know how to do. ;)

Dood,

There is an art to it for sure. I try and use either hot mud or mix plaster of paris into my mix. It lets it set up faster as opposed to laying it on and waiting a day to sand it, and trying another layer. The plaster will also help reduce the shrinking on larger holes.

Yikes Carson – just the words “set up faster” scare me.

B&D Drywall (from Angies list) a West Seattle Co. did our entire kitchen. Money well spent, smooth surface, straight lines, beautiful work. The finishing part especially is an art, and can make all the difference in the results.Can’t paint out a bad drywall job.

Dood, “set up faster” when you are doing repairs is a good thing. I am not good enough to tape and mudd a room with hot mudd, but for small repairs its the only way to go since you can put it on, sand it, do it again all in the same day. Again, this is for repairs, not doing an entire room. I have never heard about B&D but have seen the work Drywall Wizards have done and it looked great!

Oh, I wish I saw this post earlier! I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan Ashley from Ashley Construction and Remodeling (206-422-9344). Before he started his own company, he used to do a lot of drywall work for UW. What’s more, the drywall repairs and installation he completed around my house are impeccable — there isn’t a line or seam to be found anywhere.

Originally, Ryan came to me as a recommendation from my amazing realtor Scott Monroe (I love that man — see my review of Scott here: https://westseattleblog.com/forum/topic/the-real-deal-best-real-estate-agent-in-ws).

Over the course of my project Ryan:

1) Repaired at least 50+ holes that were made by my plumber, electrician, and the spray insulation installation. It should be noted that some of the holes he repaired were on 80 year old lath and plaster walls.

2) Installed new sheetrock in a number of closets, ceilings, walls, and stairways. He even installed sheetrock over some exposed AC heating vents in the basement.

2) Completed the carpentry work as well as sheetrocked and mudded a custom arch between my kitchen and dining room (it looks amazing btw — I’ll be happy to send pictures upon request).

On each, Ryan did impeccable work. I can’t see a line or seam anywhere and he even managed to match the texture that was on the walls nearby. Pricewise, Ryan is very reasonable and will likely come in lower than the bigger companies on this page. More importantly (in my opinion at least) he is a great communicator and very easy to work with. I honestly can’t recommend him enough.

He owns a general contracting company and can complete other projects around your house as well. All in all, highly recommended!
