I decided to hire a professional to do the drywall finishing on my DIY basement remodelling because after much deliberation I came to the conclusion that I didn`t want to take the chance that I would mess it up at the finishing stage. I arranged for 3 quotes. The first guy failed to keep two appointments and didn’t call to let me know! The second was professional and reasonable and indicated that the job would take about eighty man hours. Based on my research this seemed like a long time for this job! Rob Rosati of
RA Rosati Drywall was next up. Rob`s quote was very competitive. He indicated that the job would take about forty man hours with 2 guys, approximately 4, 5 hour visits. This was exactly what I had expected. The clincher was the fact that he would be doing all the work himself.
The following week Rob and his associate started and within the specified number of visits and hours, completed the job to a standard that met and exceeded my expectations. All corners both inside and out were clean and uniform. All the seams both tapered and butt were invisible. All the screws were invisible. The drywall dust was minimal and manageable. I was particularly impressed with the inside corners where two walls and the ceiling meet. Bear in mind that Rob achieved this working on my DIY framing and boarding job which was far from flawless!
Over the last few months I have been examining drywall finish in different places at every opportunity to identify the common flaws in anticipation of this job and I can say that my now almost complete basement regarding drywall finish is as good as any I have seen and far better than most.
One final note, Rob and his associate are presentable, were courteous and respectful of us and our home and we were comfortable leaving them alone in our home. Highly recommended.
