After reading all of the other reviews, I have to agree with all of them, Sebastian's work is great, his standard of work is amazing and his demeaner has been surprisingly professional and warm. We have all gotten to know him especially my 5 year old daughter who thinks he is her best friend at home. I would definitely recommend Taping Excellence to anyone looking for excellent quality work for a reasonable price.
After spending countless hours of my own labor framing and putting up drywall, I wanted to hire a professional to do the drywall finishing. The finishing to me is one of the most important parts of the entire project and would "make or break" the basement. Fortunately a friend of mine had previously used Sebastian and gave him 5 stars on his work. This led me to call him for my own basement. Sebastian was extremely courteous and friendly from the first meeting. He displayed a high degree of knowledge around drywall finishing and basement finishing. I hired him for the job and was highly impressed at the end result. The walls are 100% smooth without any faults. My wife and I were amazed at the appearance of the walls and fully appreciated the skills needed to do this type of finishing. I would definitely use Sebastian if I had any future work to do and recommend him to anybody I know. You will not be disappointed with his work.
Sebastian is a modern contractor - professional, well spoken, courteous, open to client suggestion and accommodating. He was very upfront with his timelines to ensure it worked with our schedule and he delivered an excellent finished drywall product � �it should look like glass� as he put it.
It was a welcome pleasure to deal with Sebastian vs. an old school contractor that may have a �my way or the highway� approach.
We have been under extensive renovations for two years and have dealt with dozens of contractors. Without question, or hesitation, Sebastian was the best trade that we worked with by far. His professional approach, from the first meeting right through to the follow up phone call after the job was done, blew us away. He was organized, delivered the job on time, kept an exceptionally clean work area and the end result was beyond amazing....down to the detailed rounded corners he did for our young daughter. He was courtenous, friendly and truly practiced the motto of the "customer is always right". It was such a pleasure having Sebastian in our home it was actually sad to see him go at the end of the job.
Every person who has come through to see our basement has commented on how amazing it looks (and absolutely love the rounded corners). Our only regret is that we did not meet Sebastian earlier to do the other floors in our house (we had another contractor do those earlier in the year). We will have Sebastian back to fix some of the shortfalls of that work now that we know what it is "supposed to look like".
There are not enough words to express how highly we recommend Sebastian....he is truly a diamond in the contractor world rough.
Sebastian did a fantastic job. He was meticulous, clean, prompt, and highly professional. His quality of work was outstanding, and every detail was tended to with the highest level of attention.
I will absolutely hire Taping Excellence again for our next project. I highly recommend Sebastian, and am certain that he will continue to exceed the expectations of all his future customers. A JOB WELL DONE!
The drywall, taping, and mudding requirement Sebastian provided to me was above par. From the time of our inital contact Sebastian provided constant updates and communication along the way. He came across some tricky situations and instead of looking for me solve the issue he provided a recommendation; which helped me in the decision making process.The end product is fantastic and I would highly recommend him for future jobs.
My wife and I were very impressed with the work Sebastian completed in our basement taping, mudding and finishing drywall. Sebastian has excellent communication and customer relation skills and it was a pleasure having him in our home. His work and price were great value. I would recommend Taping Excellence to any of my friends.
If I could give Sebastian six stars for courtesy and customer service, I would do it! His work was more than competent, though not exceptional, and will improve with experience. He charged a fair price, offered good value for money, and stuck by his estimate. He also brought in a good drywall board installation subcontractor and managed him well. He could do a better job of dust control. All in all, I would strongly recommend him!
Areas for improvement: dust control!
