Hutter-Drywall

Doesn’t return calls. What’s up with this? Out of business?

We just had Ed do a smooth tape job in our bathroom. I called and left a message for an estimate. He got back to me within 1 ½ hours and came right out to see the job. We agreed on a price and he started the next day. He did an excellent job on the taping and was very diligent about keeping his work area as clean as possible. We were amazed at how little dust was left after the clean up. He made sure to protect the areas around the job site to ensure nothing was damaged. He arrived on time each day and finished the job on schedule. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs drywall taping and would use him again if needed.

Ed did an excellent job removing plaster from our front hallway and replacing it with dry wall. His bid was fair and he stuck to the schedule he laid out at the beginning of the job. He was also able to take on the job in a short notice. He also was really great about working with our dog in the house.
We are currently using him again to do some patchwork on our ceiling after installing recessed lights and lighting fixtures in the living/​dining area.

Ed was fantastic. Very responsive and professional. I had Ed repair the drywall in my bathroom ceiling after replacing a bathroom fan/​heater/​light. I received a timely proposal from him with that was very reasonable. He was well prepared and worked quickly and efficiently. I would use him again in the future for drywall work.

Ed did a great job putting dry wall up in our bathroom. He’s a professional at what he does and pays close attention to detail. During my bathroom demolition I chipped a tile on the wall. He showed me an approach to getting it fixed and he also cut a piece of tile for me. I would definitely recommend Ed for your next dry wall job.

Ed did a great job dry walling our bathroom. He gave us a very fair quote and was a reliable, friendly, trustworthy worker. He is very thorough in his work and made several visits to our home to allow for appropriate drying time and to ensure everything looked good. He is very knowledgable about dry wall and also offered excellent advice when we had questions regarding other construction issues. He was happy to offer advice and make recommendations when asked. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great job. We will be using him again if we have future dry wall projects. He also left his work space cleaner than he found it after a days work!

Ed did a very nice job on a room addition for me in Alamo Square. He seemed like an old school kind of guy, working his one man show. Working alone, he ironed out some new wall seems and a rather large ceiling patch. He used all the right tools and equipment for the job to come out clean and smooth.

Ed did a great job repairing cracks in my ceiling caused by the house settling. He was thorough and he cleaned up well after each of the three visits the process required. I felt comfortable leaving him the key to my house so he could work when I wasn’t there.

Last week Ed helped us repair the ceilings in our new Bernal Heights home after we had the popcorn ceilings scraped. Not only did he do great work, but he completed the job quickly. Ed was by far the most reasonable quote for the job. We will for sure call him again for future work!

Ed is an artist of his craft. He came into my place and fixed several cracks and shifts in my drywall so seamlessly you’d never know there’d been a problem. On top of that, his rate was so reasonable it’s almost dangerous for me: I’m now freewheeling thoughts about drilling holes willy-​nilly into my walls, thinking, «Well if it turns out I don’t want that there, Ed could fix it for me.»

Ed repaired the drywall in a common entrance hallway and in the bathroom above. The damage was due to a leak from the toilet. Ed gave us a competitive bid and was prompt, thorough, professional and trustworthy. We will use Ed again for all of our drywall work.

I called Ed after a flood ruined some hardwood floor and drywall in my place and an adjoining garage. The insurance company expected my whole place to have to be repainted to make sure of an exact color match, but Ed agreed with me that we should try using my leftover paint first to see if it was really necessary. I didn’t want to disrupt my living space more than the flood itself already had.
And indeed the color matched perfectly after two coats over the new drywall, and Ed did beautiful work. Compare that to the flooring contractor from a bigger, slicker operation, who pushed to have the insurance company replace ALL my flooring in a two-​bedroom condo for the sake of 50 square feet of boards, and who has been extremely pokey and unresponsive since I pushed back.
Ed is a pro and an honest guy who won’t inflate either the job or the estimate. Any further drywall work I need will go straight to him.

My wife and I have a top floor condo in SF that had some ceiling damage after a rainstorm. The condo handyman had patched it but it was not a professional job. Found Ed on Unilocal and he came over right away and gave us an estimate for ‘floating’ (redoing it smooth, with no texture) our ceiling in the living room/​dining room area. His quote was very reasonable and it became apparent when he showed up that he is a specialist in doing drywall. He had all of the equipment and materials at the ready-​drop cloths, plastic, fans. and special machinery to do a great job. He explained each step along the way.
Ed’s work was really outstanding. He even delayed finishing by two days when he found a small hairline crack that had to be redone, dried and sanded so it would «look right» when the job was completed. Ed painted the ceiling and cleaned up with a high powered vacuum.
I will call Ed for any drywall or painting job from now on. He’s a real pro and very easy to work with!

I decided to raise the ceiling height in my bathroom. Ed installed the new drywall, taped and mudded the seams. His work is outstanding! No one would ever know that it was not the original height. Ed is a true professional who knows his trade. I will definetly have him do more work in my home. As a real estate agent I would certainly recommend him to my clients.

Ed did some drywalling work for us recently and did an excellent job. He is easy to work with and does very fine work, paying close attention to details. We felt comfortable giving Ed a key to our house. And, even though he worked alone, Ed completed the job in a timely manner.
Thank you, Ed. We plan on calling you again when the need arises.

We added a closet to our master bedroom («we» meaning: me, my husband, and my dad). I *very* wrongly assumed I could do the mudding and taping of the drywall myself. I’d completely underestimated how hard it is! And we had the added bonus of trying to join the space between the new drywall and the original plaster – NOT an easy task.
After the totally botched effort on my part, I decided to call a professional to fix my work, and make it look like the closet had always been there. Ed was very prompt in responding to my call for help/​an estimate and was at our house the next day, and done with the work within the week (you have to give lots of drying time between the thick coats our walls required). AND he didn’t even laugh or give me too hard of a time about my attempt at mudding/​taping myself.
I’d highly recommend Ed for any drywalling projects you have. In fact, we’ll probably call him again for some more work later this month.

I have been using Ed Hutter to do the drywall work for my company for a long time. (25 years and counting) Drywall hanging and finishing is always a messy proposition and Ed does a great job of minimizing its impact on a job site. He has always done quality work and keeps on schedule. I would highly recommend him for any drywall work you may have.

Ed Hutter does great drywall work as well as other home improvement/​handman work. He rebuilt my front porch in such a beautiful way that it was really a renovation rather than a repair. I highly recommend him for his good work and his honesty.
