Peña Drywall

Jim and his his crew were an amazing company to work with from start to finish. Let me start out by saying that Jim took the time to come out on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend to come and give us an estimate to remove roughly 800 square feet of popcorn ceiling and retexture our ceiling to match the existing surrounding walls. We really appreciated Jim accommodating our busy schedule at home to come take a look at our job, versus most companies who would be too lazy to take the time to come to the job site and look at the work that needed to be done and instead email you a rough bid of the job. His crew banged out the job in 1 day and were meticulous as to ensure that all areas were covered to ensure they did not leave behind a mess. When I arrived at home from work his crew were just finishing cleaning off our pathway to the front door, leaving no trace of debris behind. The reviews on here speak for themselves as the crew did a spectacular job of retexturing the ceiling as well as repairing some other areas that needed drywall work, Jim even went to a local store himself to get a few supplies he needed to repair a hole in our garage ceiling, which looked great I might add. Best of all the quoted price he gave me was the price that we paid. I would hire his crew again without hesitation. Simply put this company is amazing and they deserve every single raving review they have on here! Thank You Jim it was a pleasure working with you!

Jim and his team are amazing. They are responsive, fair and do a great job at matching existing work. We had to remove the wall between the garage and our living room because of a mold issue. The process of remediation took almost 2 weeks. Jim and his team found a way to get our wall back up as soon as possible, despite a holiday weekend, so that we could get back into our house.

Another great job from Pena drywall. This time for our downstairs bathroom and family room.

Jim and his crew are a great group of guys to work with. I took it upon myself to remodel 2 bathrooms and a kitchens the end of last year before my wife gave birth to our daughter in January. Jim and crew did all the drywall work and 7 months later it still looks great. They did a great job of matching textures and blending new drywall where it met pre existing drywall. Jim is a hands on owner who always personally checks on all his jobs and customers, and was very good at communicating with me with regards to scheduling and always made sure I was satisfied at every step of the process. His crew was great with cleanup (drywall is a unavoidably messy job) and took great care to keep any dust contained to the area of work. I would recommend Jim and crew every day of the week and twice on Sunday! Thanks Jim and crew

Jim and his crew did a great job putting on new drywall and texture (old world) in my 2500 square foot house. They completed the whole project within the promised time frame (which is very rare in today’s construction business). Jim was responsive to all questions I had during the entire process. I will certainly do business with Jim if I have any drywall needs in the future.

I am so pleased with the work that Jim and his company did on our house. They removed the hideous popcorn ceiling and retextured the ceiling to match our walls. It looks great! You always hear about nightmare contractor experiences but working with Pena Drywall was like a dream. Jim is extremely responsive and easy to work with. You can call, email or text him and he will always respond right away. The price was extremely fair (2 were much higher and 1 was quite a bit lower but they seemed way less professional and frankly a little creepy). The real icing on the cake though, is all the extra little things that Jim’s crew did at no additional charge. We thought it would do less damage to the walls to use super strong earthquake tape rather than making holes in the walls to hang picture frames — wrong! Pulling the frames down pulled off layers of the walls leaving marks all over the walls in nearly every room. Jim asked if we wanted him to patch the holes so of course we said yes! They basically detailed the walls of our entire house at no extra charge! Then during the job, they found some mold on the drywall from an old leak in the roof. They replaced the drywall in that area at no extra charge. You always hear about contractors that raise the price during the job and you have no option but to pay more but this was not the case. I very highly recommend Pena Drywall. If we ever have any future drywall needs, we will definitely be calling them without any hesitation.

Jim and his team were amazing!
Friendly and easy to deal with. The work they did was expeditious and very professional.
I was particularly impressed with the care they took in regards to not being invasive in my home. Every thing was taped off, plastic put up, and paper runners put down to minimize mess during the project.
The actual worked matched our existing textures exactly which can be tricky when dealing with drywall.
Initially while the mud was drying I was concerned with some extra material around trims and outlets, but when they came back to texture all of my concerns were addressed without me having to bring it to their attention.
Professional outfit!
Use them

Pena Drywall is as good and as professional as any company can be. Because he has done so many kitchen conversions to recessed lighting, Jim was able to give me what turned out to be an accurate estimate over the phone. He made himself available within a week to have the job completed to perfection. When the painter came in to look at the work he had to do, he said this was perfect drywall work done by a skilled worker. They also did some patching down a long hallway that blends so precisely, you can’t tell anything was done. You can’t do better than Jim Pena.

Jim and Pedro came by to fix my kitchen ceiling where I removed fluorescent lights and put in can lights, and also to put 10 other patches in the house where I had other lights installed. Awesome, fast work, very smooth and clean. Jim worked with me via text prior to starting on my job which I completely preferred, gave me a quote and showed up on time to do the work. I’d recommend this company to anyone that has new or repair work to do on drywall, excellent work!

Pena Drywall was a five star team. They were super fast and responsive with all communications (email, text, phone), in coming out for the quote, sending me an estimate, finishing the job in one day, and going the extra mile for customer sat. I contacted them after reading excellent Unilocal reviews and can vouch for the quality of their work and their characters! I selected them over the CSAA (AAA) provided drywall company for my homeowners claim and very happy I did. Thank you Jim and Scott, you guys are great to work with, and would highly recommend you to my friends and family any day.

Jim and his crew did a great job! We are remodeling an old home, they installed new drywall, repaired existing drywall and skim-​coated everything. It looks beautiful. I can highly recommend them (and I’ve remodeled 9 houses!) Jim was very responsive to any issues that came up, patient with the whole process (it took a while for everything to dry because of the weather) and a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely use him again

Called Jim and scheduled an in home estimate. He gave us some explaining about what his team would do and how they would do it. Took a little longer then we wanted for the written estimate, but it was during the holidays. Was able to schedule him and his crew to come on out to remove our popcorn ceilings. Even with our vaulted ceiling, his crew did a nice job of removal and re-​texturing of the ceilings along with some wall repairs. Was prompt to answer any concerns I had once the work was done. Would consider using them again for any drywall needs.

We worked with Jim and his team to remove the popcorn ceiling. The home we recently purchased had popcorn ceiling in most rooms and some room ceilings were in a big mess due to past cheap renovations. Jim and his team did a great job in clearing everything for us and matched the ceiling with the walls. They handled the job with a short notice and were quick — finished in 2 days. Our first phone call to Jim was on a Friday morning and all work was complete the following Tuesday evening. To match our timings they worked on Sunday as well. Price was very reasonable and they cleaned up the place after all the work. we are glad we hired this team. We will definitely recommend Pena Drywall.

I contacted Peña Drywall because I couldn’t get ahold of a trusted drywall contractor I had used earlier. We needed a moderate-​sized drywall patch with a «light old world» finish, and Jim Peña said no problem, they could match it exactly. Work started very quickly, and they took their time to ensure that the sheetrock, taping, mudding, sanding steps were all done with care and enough drying time between steps. What came out was a very smooth, even finish and the pattern is indeed just like the existing pattern. We haven’t painted it yet, but painters have looked at it and they’ve said it shouldn’t need any additional sanding or smoothing before they start.
Their price was a fair bit higher than I had expected, comparing to some earlier work we had gotten done, but I have no complaints about the quality.
All the crew were kind, clean, and were gracious when our two small children occasionally got in their way.

This review is long overdue but I feel obligated to post it since Jim and his team did such a great job.
He installed drywall in a small room with complex profile and patched wall in bathroom. Before beginning of the job Jim gave few great suggestions to make sure that drywall will be properly installed.
Crew was always on time, professional and friendly. Follow up was great, rooms clean.
Result was fantastic and I’m really happy that hired Peña Drywall for this project.

Jim came out and gave me a proposal. He said it would take 2 days. I have seen and done texture before, his guys did a great job! Great company! I highly recommend them!

Jim and his crew just finished removing the acoustic ceiling (or «popcorn») from a property we have purchased. Aside from being available on such a short notice, we also got quoted on a very great price (comparing to 2 other companies). Jim was very responsive to any questions I had throughout the process. He never asked me to go and test my ceiling for asbestos (which another company did) But took all the appropriate reproductions incase the house did contain it. They did the job with 3 – 4 days and left it very clean. I will definitely recommend his work and would be using his services and expertise in the future.
Thanks Jim!

Jim drywalled and textured our entire 1100 sq ft house and a 300 sq ft converted garage. He is straight to business and does a great job. He is not the type who disappears. He actually inspects the work and performs the most difficult bits himself. Jim insists on high quality and will do the job right. He was even able to complete some challenging work involving patching and texture blending in our hallway. Overall we are very happy with the quality of work that Jim and his team performed for us.

I hired Pena drywall to repair some cracks on the wall in my condo. Jim is a complete professional and on point with the length and steps for the repairs. The repairs were done quickly and the room looks BRAND NEW! I will be having Pena drywall complete a few more renovations around my place. They really are the best. I met with several contractors and picked Pena because they were friendly, professional and completely reliable. You will be very happy with the results.

Jim and his crew are just now finishing up our kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with them. Everything has gone like clockwork, and they have gone the extra mile to make sure it looks great. They show up on time, work hard, do quality work, and clean up after themselves. What more could you ask for? Great people to work with. Hire them.

I hired Jim and his team to re texture several rooms in my house. From the beginning he was a straight shooter and seemed like a nice guy. His assessment of my project was insightful and thoughtful. He presented me with different options and cost savings ideas to help with the decision making. In the end he lived up to my first impressions and did a real good job. His team were very skilled, paid attention to detail, and cleaned up great. I would definitely recommend Jim and team!

Needed some new drywall in a spot that never had any in the house and needed it to match the finish of the rest of the wall. Also needed it in a big hurry as new floors were going in. On both accounts Jim and his crew were 5 stars. I called on Tuesday and in a couple trips to install and then sand, it was done by Friday, plenty of time for painting on the weekend and floor install. Dare someone to figure out where the new pieces start!

Good price for awesome job, I had to remove my pop corn ceiling and Jim did amazing job. He even fixed one of my wall and re-​textured it for free. He checks with you many times after the work to make sure you are happy with the job work. I would definitely recommend him.

I’m very pleased with the service and the professionalism from Jim and his crew. They did a great job and in record time, I might add. I will definitely call them again for any future drywall needs. Yay my popcorn ceiling is gone, and I sure wished I had done it years ago. I highly recommend this company. Great job guys :)

Jim came to my house the same day I call him to repair my dry wall. He finished job on time with reasonable price and high quality. I will definitely use his service again in the future, also recommend to my friends.

Jim refinished my ceiling few weeks ago.
He even made samples of ceiling /​wall textures so we could visually look at his work close up.
Did a great job, showed up, cleaned up and finished on time.
Jim follow up and return calls promptly.

We’ve been rebuilding our house over the last three years doing most of the work ourselves — as I’m very particular about getting everything right. I can do just about everything from framing to electrical to paint/​trim, but NOT drywall — you need to have talent and be a real artist for that — and this is where Jim and his team come in.
I first used Pena Drywall about 3 years ago on the first phase (about half) of our house. We had a number of tricky, non-​standard challenges in that drywall job including curved arches, dealing with uneven walls, working around very delicate 1940s plaster crown moulding (irreplaceable), etc. — Jim priced the job just right and delivered an exceptional result — and he and his team were professional at every step of the way.
Roll forward to this summer, where we were ready for drywall on the second half of our house and I knew exactly where to go: Pena Drywall. Once again, Jim gave us a great price and he and his crew did another exceptional job. And once again we had some tricky spots due to our old 1940s house — that Jim and team handled perfectly.
Beyond the talent/​skill of Jim and his team, I really appreciated how quickly things were done, how effectively Jim communicated with us about status, and that frankly, Jim’s just a really nice, down-​to-​earth guy that is completely straight-​forward and easy to work with. If any issues come up, Jim takes care of it — no questions asked. I happily recommend Pena Drywall to anyone that wants the best quality work at a great price with ultra-​professional service.

Jim is a professional by all definitions of the word! We are moving into a new home and have a 2 year old and a 2 week old baby. The home inspection showed that there were popcorn ceilings which we knew we didn’t want around our kids. I called Jim for a quote for work to start the day we got the keys. He showed up before we even got there and then lo and behold there were no popcorn ceilings. Jim was so kind about our error and even tried to make me feel better by saying he lived nearby (not sure if this was true but it did make me feel better for calling him out for no work). I would highly recommend Jim if you want someone responsive, courteous and professional to work on your home.

Wow! Jim Pena and his team did a popcorn ceiling removal in my home and certainly exceeded my expectations. They showed up on time, did an amazing job on the removal of the popcorn ceiling and the finished work of patching and texturing was done with perfection. They cleaned up everything after the job was completed and even came back to do some touch up work after the painter had completed his job. Jim Pena and his team definitely went over and above and their pricing was very competitive. I would highly recommend this business!

Jim’s knowledge and talent were obvious from the start. He came out personally to assess and bid the job. He described in detail what would have to be done, the phases of the job, how long the job would take, and how he would protect the rest of the house (floors, cabinets, banister) while the work was being done. He was able to provide very competitive pricing on the spot. We booked the job the next day and they came out the following week.
We required several different kinds of repairs. Many of the repairs were just dents from normal wear and tear and holes from hanging of curtains and pictures. Another was a 4 foot long seam in our wall where the drywall had begun to «pucker» due to the house settling. The largest repair was on a wall where we had replaced a sliding door and removed the drywall around a fireplace. Rather than just fix those 2 areas on the wall and blend everything together, Jim said it would be no more work or cost to just re-​texture the entire wall and avoid blending all together. In total, there were around 25 different areas (small and large) that needed work.
Jim and his crew did the job in phases. The first day they patched, taped, and applied the joint compound and finishing mud. The next day they sanded, sprayed on the texture, and knocked it down. The final day they sanded again and blended the new texture into the old. Every time they entered the house they protected the floors with paper. And every time they left the house they cleaned up.
My wife and I are particular. We ask a lot of questions, we watch the entire time the work is being done, and we aren’t afraid to speak up if something isn’t perfect. So, after the 3 days, there were a couple of areas where we didn’t feel the new texture blending quite perfectly with the old. BTW, this whole texturing and blending of textures is truly and art-​form (not a science). Jim came out, assessed those areas, agreed that it wasn’t up to his standards. After he re-​textured those areas he took it upon himself to go around the entire house and re-​blend everything just to make sure everything was perfect!
And now that everything is done… it looks perfect. Jim and his crew did an amazing job! He didn’t declare the job complete until all three of us (Jim, my wife, and I) were all completely satisfied. And we are.
I highly recommend Jim for all of your drywall needs and would not hesitate to use him again.

Jim and his team did an excellent job!
We had a new sheet rock we had installed and we needed it taped and finished to a smooth finish. They came out gave us an estimate and started the job the next day. They did an excellent job and all at a reasonable price.
I would highly recommend Jim Pena for drywall
