I found Bulldawg online & phoned the owner Greg. Told him I needed new drywall installed over my textured ceilings and he could start anytime. He had a crew over the next week.
We didn't discuss price on our initial call, forgot to ask, so I sent him a text a few days later. He told me it would be around $1800 and that he would charge an hourly rate with no mark up on materials. I was a little nervous, but I've been in the business for over 25 yrs and I just knew he would be fine from speaking to him.
The Bulldawg crew delivered my drywall on Monday, boarding crew arrived and completed on Tuesday morning, taper arrived in the afternoon. Mudders worked Wednesday and Thursday & sanded on Friday.
The crews were fast & professional. They left a bit of clean up for us, but this is construction, and to be expected. In my opinion, let the Bulldawg crews board & mud because that's what they do well.
If you're looking for a cleaning service, call one.
If you don't want your stuff to get dirty, then cover everything.
When it came for the bill, Greg said he would honour the $1800 he told me over the phone, even though the total for time & materials was just over $2000.
Greg is straight up an honourable man and gained my respect.
I would recommend Bulldawg to anyone. I went with my gut on Bulldawg because I didn't have anyone available who would do a small job with short notice. I am very glad that I did & will definitely use Bulldawg for future work.
Thank you Greg for your help, you're a man of your word which is tough to find these days :)
