    This was the work in progress, needed to dry overnight before doing a few coats of paint and putting the lamp and fan back in!

    Dan is the man! If you need quality work done quickly, call him. The leak from my toilet had caused water damage in my downstairs neighbors ceiling. I was responsible for finding someone to repair it...I was worried I wouldn't find someone since it was the week before Thanksgiving. I saw Dan's website on Google and the glowing reviews so I decided to give him a call. From the moment he answered the phone he was friendly, personable, helpful and very responsive. Within a couple minutes we had already set up a time he could come do an onsite inspection. He was at the site the next day giving me a quote and starting the work. I was so grateful. My neighbors were absolutely thrilled at how great he and his son were and thanked me for finding such a delightful team to fix their ceiling. I would give Dan 10/10 and highly recommend anyone who needs fair rates and quality work to give him a call!

    Paint should not come off like a piece of paper.

    I initially thought I was getting a good value with Dan Pena Drywall as their bid for a popcorn ceiling removal, smoothing of the walls, and repainting the entire interior was by far the most competitive. However it has proven to be a major disaster that would cost far more to fix. Not only were there major delays and cost overruns, the drywall is now easily damaged by a mere bump. Worse of all, the paint has started to come off like paper. This is completely unacceptable. They are promised to address these issues, but have never shown up. Be aware! Update: The owner is now harassing me saying that I was never a customer and have the wrong business. This is downright dishonest and shows how desperate they are to remove the review. Check out the contract if you want proof.

    Finished area looks indistinguishable from the rest of the place.

    I reached out to have our ceiling taken care of after a plumber tore a rather large hole out and spent the night compiling quotes. I was worried since many others only did drywall installation and called it a day (low-quality work) -- Dan Pena did it all from end to end. They were able to match the texture and find the right mix of paint to get it properly done. They wore masks the whole time, put down a large protective area around the whole thing, and handled all the clean-up. They were quick to respond to text messages after we agreed on a price and always let me know when they would be coming and what the next steps were. Here's hoping we don't have to deal with another plumbing issue again, but if we need a true professional and licensed expert, I know exactly who to call.

    Hired Dan to drywall a tough shed to convert it into a home office. Dan was able to also insulate, paint, and frame a wall for me. Dan is responsive, skilled, competent, quick, complete, and approachable. He communicates in a timely manner and makes great suggestions. I found him to personable and easy to work with as well. But here's the awesome part... His work was flawless! The ceiling was incredible. He got the job done quickly - he was on the job everyday except when the drywall was curing... and did an exceptional job. The walls, framed room, added pocket door, paint, and trim were completed with care and precision. The insulation has kept the office nice and cozy through all the recent storms. I could not be happier. Dan went above and beyond in fixing a few things about the tough shed that he didn't like - adding more framing and reattaching the front door and weather stripping. We were so happy with his work that we hired him to put in the hardwood floors as well! They're beautiful and perfectly set. We're hiring Dan for a bunch of future projects which is saying a lot... we've been through some terrible craftsmen and contractors. Dan is awesome. Attaching photos of the excellent job.

    Prior to repair. The patch is invisible!

    My plumber had to open the drywall on a ceiling to fix a leak. Dan then came in and did a great job from start to finish with the repair of the 2'x3' hole. A perfectionist, he and his son insisted in doing the job in three days (so that each layer could dry). The result was a perfect "invisible" patch. All elements of the process were A+: responsiveness, price, and execution. Highly recommended!

    Our finished hallway with new WiFi access point and wall-mounted tablet. Before repairs, there was a large opening on the ceiling.

    Danny, Sal, and Davin were all amazing to work with. Don't risk it with other drywall repair guys on Yelp, most of them here don't even have contractor licenses! I found these guys through the CSLB after calling nearly a dozen others and rejecting them because they did not have C-9 license. In the end, I received 3 quotes from licensed drywall contractors and and went with Dan Peña because they were very communicative, flexible with timing, and seemed to care about minimizing debris. We had a fairly large project, costing about $6,000 in drywall repairs alone after having in-wall speakers and network cable installed throughout our townhouse. These guys were very flexible, communicative, and transparent about the work that needed to be done. They were also thoughtful in execution to minimize collateral damage to furniture and flooring. The repairs were finished to the point where we can't even tell that the walls were ever opened up, which is amazing given our orange peel wall texture. The one point of semi-negative feedback I'd have is around billing and quote generation, and even then, part of that is my fault for adding things halfway through. Still, I'd prefer to have everything detailed in writing, as the original quote as written was pretty broad in scope.

    Three skylights removed and drywall patched and painted
    Dave B.

    Everything went smoothly from estimate to cleanup. We had a difficult skylight patch job in a high ceiling over stairwell and several contractors couldn't figure out how to do it. Danny and his team were great, worked with us on a solution and got the job done quickly and results exceeded expectations. Communication was good also with daily status reports. We will definitely use them again.

    Project #2 -After (Inside Closet View)

    Dan took care of two projects: 1) Drywall in the kitchen after some water damage we had 2) Extending our Master Bedroom closet by removing built-in furniture and remove drywalls inside the closet. For both projects, the quality of the work was amazing. My kitchen wall is looking great, does even feel like we never had any water damage. The new design for our closet is also really good. I really encourage you to hire Dan if you want high quality work. You can tell that there is many year of experience and knowledge. You won't be disappointed.

    Dan's team did a professional job. Also looked around the house and recommended a few more fix ups. All for a reasonable price.

    I cannot recommend Roberto and the team at AQ Finish Carpenter enough. I've attached several before…read moreand after photos, but honestly, it looks even better in person. As a person, Roberto is a very friendly guy and a great communicator who made sure to text and/or call me regularly with updates. He was highly communicative the whole project, which I personally prefer, and it went to show how much he wanted to ensure things are done right and to my expectations. This was evident even during the initial onsite inspection, where he patiently spent a full hour with me onsite walking through the details. He was very open and transparent about what he can do, what solutions he offered, what materials are optimal, and what I could expect. It was always very clear what I needed to provide and at what schedule. His quote was very fair, and while I initially thought of using separate contractors, I gave him the bid to manage the whole project. His price was competitive for managing the schedule and the back and forth needed to ensure the work was done at the right cadence. The work schedule was managed tight and completed exactly to our quoted timeline. All of the folks he brought onsite were experienced, organized, and friendly, with different teams scheduled to exchange work days much better than if I had tried to manage the sequence myself. It's clear that Roberto takes great pride in his work from his attention to detail and wanting to do things the right way. Over our ~2-week project, he went above and beyond to make minor repairs and fixes to ensure the end result was stunning. During work, everything was covered neatly and taped neatly. As you can see from the before photos, the house was a bit run down. The oil-finished floors needed both a refinishing and spot repairs of gaps, holes, and water damage, and the final refinish was perfect. The original ceilings had a rolled-on, inconsistent texture with cracks, and Roberto communicated the effort needed to make them smooth. The cost was fair and the ceiling is now essentially perfect. As the house is from the 1920s, some walls still have the original plaster and old world texture which I decided to keep, while rooms with wallpaper were removed, sealed, primed, repaired, and painted. The end result looks fantastic, and as mentioned he went above and beyond doing patching and wall sanding to make it extra perfect, which was greatly appreciated. The trim work was also incredible: all baseboards were installed with care and with sharp corner work, and he flawlessly repaired the crown moulding in the kitchen and office. Overall, I was incredibly impressed. Roberto is a super nice guy who cares to do great work, and he is the first person I'll call for future work on my home.

    Roberto and the AQ Finish Carpenter team transformed our primary bedroom, and we couldn't be…read morehappier with the results! From the beautiful custom millwork to the flawless attention to every detail, Roberto went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He's truly a craftsman who cares about his work and his clients. Highly recommend them for any finish carpentry project -- we'll definitely be calling them again! Thank you, Roberto!
