Great people to deal with!

I had a very small drywall repair and paint job that was beyond my skill level, but still not a ton of work. I wasn't sure about getting quotes because the size of the job was so small.

I contacted Call Jamie and he responded within 10 minutes saying that would be happy to give me a quote. I should add the Jamie responded at about 10 p.m. on a Saturday night - so I could tell right away he was committed to earning my business.

Pam came out to do the estimate the following Monday, and she was quick and answered all my questions. She was in and out in about 10 minutes, and I had a written estimate emailed to me within 24 hours. The price was very reasonable, so I asked when they could start. When they said the following Monday, I was surprised because it was so soon.

Sure enough, first thing Monday morning Brooke showed up ready to get started. She was great to work with and answered all my questions. I could tell by the way she talked about her work that she really enjoyed it and was committed to doing a great job, which she most definitely did.

The quote said it would take 5 days to complete the work, but they had the job done in four. Four straight days Brooke came on time, and kept me up to speed on how the project was progressing. She even walked me through the process, explaining what she was doing at each step.

Payment was easy to make via email transfer, and the amount quoted was the amount I paid. Im very happy with the quality of work done and how well and efficiently the business end of the company is run.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Call Jamie, and will definitely use them again for future projects.

Removal of popcorn ceiling and lacquer spray

I called Jamie for a quote to remove the popcorn off the ceiling of our newly purchased 1860 sq ft home and convert it to flat which came in around $7500. Jamie and his team did a great job. They arrived when they said they would, they kept to my strict timeline and they hired cleaners after to get rid of every speck of drywall dust. He then convinced us to pay him an additional $3,500 to lacquer our upstairs bannister, downstairs railing and hutch. The lacquer sprayed much further that initially indicated and we were forced to sand walls and repaint the entire house to get rid of it.
But the real trouble came about three months later when our skylight drywall started to crack, screws started to pop out of the ceiling in various places upstairs and the upstairs bannister cracked. When I contacted Jamie to ask if he warrantied his work his excellent customer service was no longer present and he said that it was a mistake the builder made (my house was built in 1997) but just happened to show up months after my ceilings were skimmed, which is a very convenient coincidence.
Within a month of completing the lacquer my bannister started to crack and once again, Jamie said that it should have been one piece as he knew that overtime this would happen. Had I known that overtime meant 30 days I would have saved my $300+.
Jamie's work was initially very good and he was very accommodating but if you're looking for something to last, perhaps look elsewhere.

I do stand by my work. In this case this home has screw/nail pops (installation of drywall issue). It is normal as all homeowners know to have nail pops in the ceiling as your house ages. Especially at this time of year when it is getting colder. This customer would not listen to my professional opinion and insisted this was my problem when it was 100 percent irrelevant to my workmanship. We removed the popcorn ceiling and smoothed out for flat and painted the ceiling. We did not install any drywall. Why would I warranty the drywall install work when I did not do it? As for the hairline crack in the skylight. This is once again from whoever taped the home back when. That upstairs has its own issues. It's not hard to put that together? Had a client approached me with kindness not insults and ignorance. Knowing the type of business person I am, I would have helped them out at a reduced rate. But feeling insulted and this customer holding leverage of altering her review (which she did immediately) and hurting my reputation, I choose to stand up for myself. And this is the outcome. Unfortunately when someone thinks they are right or entitled to something. There is not much more that I can do. My reviews speak for them myself and you can see this customer previous review on the page.

Removed popcorn from ceiling and flattened. Also painted oak banister and built in cabinet with lacquer.

Would like to thank Jamie and Brook for an amazing job. Not only did they do great work but were a pleasure to deal with.

We hired Jamie to remove the popcorn ceiling from our house and finish them flat. The transformation was incredible. It took our house from a 90's stereotype to a new build look.

We were so impressed with the work done that we also got Jamie to spray our oak banister and built in cabinets white. It was a huge upgrade in the appearance of our house.

Ten out of ten, would hire again!

Basement Rec Room ceiling and wall.

Jamie takes great pride in his work, and did a great job for us. Everything looks great again after our mini flood, I would highly recommend Jamie for any drywall painting work. His Festool Dustless sanding system does a wonderful job, which eliminates a lot of the dust and keeps the site clean. Jamie and Pam both communicated well with us and responded in quick fashion with our estimate. Our ceiling was stripped, then primed and re-done with popcorn texture...awesome job done !!

Thanks for the great review. We pride ourselves in quality work, and always try to deliver what our customers are expecting. Just like your place , if I feel I need extra time to make the job 100 percent to my liking, I take it. Nothing bugs me more than trades trying to work as fast as they can just to make a buck. I look forward to your stairwell project!

Kitchen ceiling renovation

Folks, use Call Jamie, he is professional and an expert, he is respectful and works to complete the job in an excellent manner and within timing proposed. He did not leave the job until we were totally satisfied, and he was too.
The renovation turned out perfect, was completed quickly and within the budget he proposed.
The people he has contracted to do the job are expert also.
It was interesting working with him and we'll hire him again.

Spare bedroom drywall tape repair and paint.

Drywall tape came away from wall and ceiling. Jamie repaired this issue and went above by leveling out all seams in the room. Brooke did an amazing job painting the walls and ceiling. I would highly recommend them.

Basement Renovation

I am so happy with Call Jamie Drywall Services. Jamie and Pam provided quick responses when I had questions, the work was completed quickly, the quality of the work is excellent, and their whole team from the drywall installers, mud and taping, knockdown and even the cleaners were very professional and took pride in their work. The initial quote they provided was exactly what I paid, there were no surprise costs. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Ceiling repair, drywall repair, knockdown texture

Outstanding customer service and workmanship! This company is by far the best we have ever dealt with. We have had our fair share of renovations gone wrong in the past so we carefully selected Jamie to do our drywall and ceiling repair. Jamie, Pam and Brook were all a pleasure to deal with. They are a very professional, genuine and caring team. We could not be happier with the services and suggestions offered. The added bonus is Jamie sends his cleaners to clean up after the job so we arrived home to a sparkly clean house. I wish we would have used Jamie for our previous renovation. Thanks Jamie and team, we will definitely use your company again!

Bathroom drywall

We had Jamie do the drywall in our bathroom renovation. We have had a few different drywall contractors in the past and Call Jamie was by far the best. Quality work, arrived when they said they would, cleaned the space after the work was done, pleasure to work with - and not at an unreal price. I am very happy with the work and would hire Call Jamie again.
