King Of Sheet-rock

I was very excited to have Elvis remodel a small outside office for a home I just moved into recently. With all the excellent ratings on Unilocal I was very very confident I would have a good outcome. And I must say that the office is really nice. He does excellent sheet rock work. The project consisted of tearing off wood paneling from walls, installing new insulation in walls and ceiling, pulling up old carpet, installing plywood foundation for floor, installing 6 ceiling recessed lights, sheet rocking walls and ceiling, installing new hardwood floors, removing 3 single pane windows and installing 3 new double pane windows, painting and trim work.
Why only 3 stars?
1. I asked for really nice crown molding baseboard and trim around windows. Unfortunately Elvis felt he new better for my office and installed 5 inch plain flat trim. Disappointed.
2. They used my garage to cut plywood and sheet rock. I had just moved into the house the first of Dec and 3 days later had knee replacement surgery. It was very difficult for me to get outside and do anything. They took no consideration of my belongings. Now that I can actually walk around there is sheet rock dust and wood dust on all my belongings. Electronic equipment, clothing, etc. I have spent 3 days trying to clean my belongings and still there is more.
3. They used one of my 5 gallon buckets that I had teaching equipment in by taking out the equipment and throwing it in a box. The bucket now has paint all over it and I can’t use it to take to work.
4. The door to my office doesn’t fit in the frame. There is a gap at the bottom and top. And he got paint on the back of the door too. When Elvis was still finishing painting he asked for his final payment and said he would be back over the weekend to fix the door. I haven’t heard from him since. I now have to find someone to repair the door so it can lock securely and debris doesn’t come underneath on my new floors.
I think Elvis is a really nice guy and the office is nice except for the trim but he doesn’t have a good sense of other people’s space. If you use him I would be very clear on what you want and ensure you see it and approve as well as ensuring your belongings are protected.
Unfortunately, it was a challenge for me just having surgery.

Elvis did a quote for wall texturing for me and was extremely thorough — he explained the benefits and limitations of each price level. Thank you Elvis!

elvis and his brother did a flawless job on our drywall. they started the job right away and completed it in less than a week. five stars.

I saw these guys on Unilocal and they were fast and did a great job. They cleaned up after themselves and made sure everything was to my liking.

So thankful to have found Elvis for more reasons than one. Not only did he perform the job we originally hired him for well, he also helped make sure that many other jobs around the house turned out okay.
We originally called Elvis to drywall a closet that we had to blow out to expand our master bathroom and he was extremely responsive and came out right away to give us a quote which was more than reasonable. We ended up going with someone else purely because we didn’t want to deal with the headache of coordinating the plumber, electrician, etc. and ended up hiring a general contractor who would take care of the whole project instead. However, we had a bunch of other things we needed done in the house and decided to ask him for quotes since he said they can do pretty much anything. We decided to start with matching the bedroom floors to the floors in the rest of the house and his quote was significantly less than a few other quotes we got so we decided to go with him.
The day the job started, Elvis and his crew arrived on time and started walking me through all of the options. Since we had purchased floating bamboo floors and we currently had the original hardwood in the bedrooms, there were many different ways to do it and they patiently walked me through all of the options. They even walked me through the options that would have been less expensive and make them less money but I really got the sense that they just wanted to be honest and provide me with the highest quality of work. In the end, they recommended that I not rip out the original floors as it would cost significantly more and reassured me that floating the floors on top of the original flooring would still look okay. His workers were so kind and respectful and went the extra mile to fix a few squeaky areas in the floors as well as a few other things that the last contractor screwed up. In the end, they were right and the floors match perfectly with the flooring throughout the rest of the house and the quality was superb.
While Elvis and his crew were here working on the floors, our bathroom was also being worked on by the general contractors we had hired. Without getting into a long story, let’s just say Elvis saved us from ending up with a bathroom of poor quality by notifying us that certain things were not being done properly (which we never would have known otherwise). He even came by late at night after I had finished work to help point out to me what was wrong so that I could contact the company-​not for money, not for his benefit, not for any other reason than to help because it was the right thing to do. It turns out the company was in fact poorly managing the project and things are now back on track.
It is nice to know that there are still honest people out there but it is just plain shocking to know that there are honest, good contractors out there-​Elvis and his crew are definitely one of them. Now we know we have someone we can trust to not try to screw us and to provide us with quality work so we plan on having him install our windows and flooring in the bathroom-​I will update the review once those projects are finished but I have no doubt that they will provide us with the same quality work that they have so far.

Five stars for Elvis. He was quick to show up and give a fair bid. He started working right away and I was very impressed with his Sheetrock skills and communication. He’s amazing and all the other contractors loved working with him.
There were a few carpentry/​design issues that he brought to my attention and he made some suggestions. I followed Elvis’ advice on the changes and the floor plan and skylight look infinitely better. All along the project we had to make cost effective decisions because of our old Victorian vs my budget. Elvis helped with that too.
My crew was sad to see him go when he finished. I can’t say enough great things about him.
Thanks Elvis!

I called Elvis on Thursday and he had my entire garage drywalled by Friday night. The quality of the work was superb. His price was very fair and for the quality of work, a bargain. I highly recommend the «King of Sheet-​Rock.»

I am so grateful I found Elvis to do the job at my place. He does quality work, is very reliable and is extremely easy to communicate with. He won’t leave you in the dust when you need the work done and is a skilled craftsman and leaves your house spotless. I will not look for anyone else. Highly recommended!!!

We remodeled a 1927 house in Sea Cliff which involved ripping up almost every lathe and plaster wall in our home. After firing our expensive general contractor halfway through the job, we decided to finish the remodel ourselves. We interviewed eight drywall guys from Angie’s List before looking on Unilocal and finding Elvis. I called him on a Saturday and he was at the house within an hour of calling him. He was easy to work with, reliable, had a good sense of humor, and most importantly, he took great pride in his work. It was a no-​brainer, particularly compared to the other guys we met. After a few weeks (it was a big job), Elvis put a level 5 finish on almost every wall in our house at a very reasonable price considering the high level of quality. We’re very happy and will be calling him again when we remodel the kitchen and bathrooms next year.
One thing to keep in mind … I didn’t realize that Elvis is also a painter. We had already committed to another painter, but I would have used him otherwise. However, because he was so easy to work with, we asked him to install some crown molding in three bedrooms. He did it in a day and it was great. The bottom line is that I would highly recommend Elvis for any drywall/​plaster work but don’t be shy to use him for other jobs as well. You won’t regret it.

You know how everyone always says, don’t hire family, and you say, no, this is different and we would never fall out over business: well it won’t be, and it wasn’t. So there I stood, looking at a half done sheetrock job, a stack of sheetrock, exposed wires and gutted kitchen, and I wondered to myself how I was going to get out of this mess. Turns out that two competing quotes later I had Elvis to the rescue. One man, accomplished in one day, what three could not do in a month. Elvis is not just the King of Sheet-​rock, he is an able carpenter, can GC, and is nothing but flexible, able and professional. Thank you Elvis for saving me from my own terrible mistakes.

I used Elvis, King of Sheetrock, to remove a large living room lath and plaster ceiling. Elvis reframed the ceiling, added some additional support that the ceiling needed, then sheetrocked and textured the new ceiling. He was very easy to work with and did a great job. I would use him again for future sheetrock work.

We moved some interior walls at home, enlarged one window, and also exposed some horizontal support beams, as they had to be made longer.
I hired Elvis to restore all interior drywall (install drywall, patch, smooth, spray knockdown texture).
I found him on Unilocal.I always look for «individual contributors» vs companies, since their prices are lower.
And I was right again: Elvis gave me a bid that was lower than the other two, so I hired him.
Even though I was not in a hurry, Elvis started work on the next day, and completed it in a day and a half, working overnight, to free up his weekend.
I was impressed when I showed up on a Sunday morning (we don’t live in this house): the job was finished, the texture on the wall was still freshly wet, the floor was clean, and 3 plastic bags were waiting outside, filled with construction debris and cover up materials.
He was able to match the texture nicely; the transition was not smooth in one location, but I sanded it once it dried up, and now its good.
Thank you Elvis for the stress-​free experience!

He was a no-​show twice.

Elvis came out and did some locksmithing at the place where I work. You will find him personable, competent and honest. I know who I’ll hire for the next sheet rocking I need done!

This Business really ROCKS!
Elvis and his crew did s fabulous job in our house, changing our kitchen in to fully functioning attraction!!! He also changed my garage in to a recording studio that now looks like a million bucks! And guess what? He came under budget and worked extra hard to finish before our House Warming Party!!!
Hire them, believe me!!!
P. s. Our neighbor is jelous so you guys might have another job in our neighborhood

I have to say I am impressed. Elvis is the king. This guy actually has the real skills (20 years experience). He tells you like it is, gives a very fair price and then does the job. No mess, no fuss, done!
He did a great job of putting a nice two layer skim coat on some old lath and plaster walls. No sanding needed because he was able to get it super smooth while wet on the second coat. Awesome job!
I would highly recommend him and my only regret is that I did not tip him more.

I called Elvis for a sheet rock job around the light switch that an electrician had left behind. He came over that same day and was very friendly. He started the job just after the weekend and did a really nice job. I left the keys along with a check for him in the morning. He called me on my cell phone when he was done… that’s it! He even was kind enough to notice another small patch job that I had on a completely seperate wall and painted that patch too. That’s really going above and beyond. I will def call him again for other jobs around the house. Thanks Elvis!

Elvis really is the King of (sheet) rock! Really good, he stepped into a project for me and in a very timely and reasonably priced way sheet rocked my kitchen, and bathroom.
I would highly recommend him. He also does plaster walls, tiles and painting. Actually I think he can do most carpentry too, including stucco.
