If you're looking for someone responsive, honest, great at what he does, and is a pleasure to work with, Gilbert is your man. I found him through a Google search and, based on the positive reviews, texted him that day and he immediately got back to me. I was desperate to have someone that could work on my baby's nursery asap after someone botched the job and made the nursery smell terrible and full of chemicals. Gilbert swiftly swept in, replaced the ceiling and wall drywall and insulation, painted the room in low VOC paint, and saved the day! All that and he's a great guy to boot. Highly recommend! read more

Gilberts Drywall Service - Baby's nursery - Drywall Installation & Repair Near Me

Gilbert helped us with a drywall repair to the ceiling of the unit below ours, that had a leak from our shower down the their ceiling. Our unit is a rental property so we don't even live there. As the owners of the unit above, we needed to repair our leak, but also the drywall of the ceiling and some wall area of the unit below. We really appreciated Gilbert's flexibility when it came time to communicate with me and the property owner below. He was timely, very reasonable, sent photos, and the tenant below us, who's ceiling we had to repair, was very happy with his work. I would definitely recommend him, and use him again for both of my San Diego area properties. read more

Gilbert did an excellent job putting drywall for practically our entire house. In one day he knocked out 3 bedrooms with huge patch work needed, a bathroom, and our hallway. He did quality work on our walls. The walls look brand new and the patch work blended nicely with the pre-existing drywall. He took no short cuts in finishing our walls. He lastly came in and did our kitchen just in time for cabinet install. Gilbert your work ethic is phenomenal and I appreciate your services. Definitely calling you again for future projects! read more

This is the only drywall service in San Diego I use. This service sets the bar high. Quality, service, price.. can't be beat!

Gilbert's Drywall Service exemplifies some of the jewels of Yelp. My family needed to have dry wall repaired due to a recent remodel inspection. I called around a dozen or so dry wall repair folks, and Gilbert was the easiest to work with and schedule, and his prices were also extremely fair and reasonable. Gilbert came out despite being slammed with work, and spent a good 3-4 hours patching up two dry wall sections on the ceiling. The work was done amazingly well, where the results were actually better than even before they were even cut open. It looked great and no one could tell that there had been any repair. Gilbert is such a great treasure to Yelp, and we are grateful to have him in our contacts database for future reference!!! read more

Gilbert provides excellent service and top notch work! From scheduling, estimate, confirmation and showing up on time - which first impressions matter - Gilbert delivers. Once we did a walk through he promptly started by placing down plastic and taping off. No trace of dust or dirt after he left. We had a kitchen ceiling refinished and it looks like a million dollars now. Super happy with his work and look forward to doing additional projects with Gilbert soon. read more

Gilbert was awesome, prompt, and most afforable compared to other 5 star rated drywall repair places. The repair job was impeccable. I could not have asked for more. read more

I researched for different people who would be able to do the drywall forthright ceiling in my kitchen. After reviews I saw that Gilbert, although at the time only had 8 reviews, was highly recommended and decide to give him a shot. After the work he did I am glad that I went his route. Gilbert was very honest from the beginning and arrived at the time he stated. When it comes to any business involving service punctuality is key. Gilbert went above and beyond in the explanation of the work he was going to conduct and by sending him pictures of the work needed he was able to give me a great estimate that he stuck to. With the work he has done, I have no qualms in recommending him to not only the Yelp Community, but to my family and friends. Thanks for your work Gilbert. read more

Gilbert showed up an hour early which I really appreciated. He was efficient and the job was done neatly. He did just what I needed! I would highly recommend his services. read more

I have hired Gilbert twice, once for a total removal of ceiling popcorn and new texture, and once for light patch work with re-texture of wall. Both jobs were excellent. The popcorn removal, I needed it done as quick as possible as I was selling my condo. There were 4 other condos in my complex for sale at the same time, and all were listed before mine. My condo sold first, the agent said the new texture was a great idea and was the main reason why it sold first. read more

Gilbert was recommended by Plumber Bob who did a copper pipe rerouting in my home for a slab leak in the center of the home Gilbert came and gave an estimate to repair the sheet rock on eight openings, which seemed higher than I expected, but with the amount of work that the job entailed I realized it was a fair price. Gilbert could not do the job for a week and I decided to wait rather than research and call around for someone else. We reconfirmed the night before and agreed upon a time early the next morning. Gilbert was there early and waiting. He was careful to work in a clean fashion, taping protective "walls" of plastic around the work areas. He did a great job with the sheet rock, with matching the color, the walls' different types of finishes, and with matching the acoustic for the ceiling. He even suggested that the job may not require painting once it was dry, which turned out to be the case. His estimate of time and cost were right on target. I was very satisfied. I will call on him when I need related jobs, such as acoustic removal, painting, bull nosing, etc. He is experienced, professional, and did not leave any mess. read more

Can't give a ZERO so Gilbert get's one star. He simply didn't show up. No call, no nothing. I suppose I had a warning when he asked me to call him a few days before our appointment and remind him of it! What's going on with these guys? So many want to do all their business via text, want you to take responsibility for their showing up, want to make a quote from texted photos? How often do you hear: "Hey I can't really take a message right now - will you text me your name, address, our appointment time, and what we discussed?" What, so now I have to do his admin work AND pay for the job? Maybe I should pick up any tools and materials he needs too? How about if I agree to do all the clean up and provide lunch? Shall I arrange for his other needs to be met too? It would, frankly, be easier for me just to learn the particular skill he provides and keep my money! PLEASE DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH GUYS WHO WANT TO WORK THIS WAY. It makes it possible for them guys to make a living doing business in this shoddy way. Then, it takes several tries to find someone who's serious about doing business. As someone who was in business for years I know that so many customers who think the only criteria is price that it makes impossible for a guy who does business professionally to survive. Be willing to pay just a little bit more to do business with someone who take it seriously. These low end guys underprice someone who actually takes commitments seriously and hurt us all. Don't do it! Thanks! read more

We've used Gilbert twice in the past & he's always done a great job. The first one was in 2008 to patch up holes in our ceiling & walls left by the electricians when they re-routed some wires in order to install our fans. We were so happy with the work he's done that when we had another drywall repair that needed to be done a couple years ago, we went straight to Gilbert. His price is very reasonable, he shows up on time, makes sure to tape up everything to protect our things & cleans up when he is done. We will definitely use Gilbert again when the need arise. read more

Gilbert is awesome. He is very honest, respectful, and no doubt an expert in his field. He's like the Apple of drywall at Walmart prices! A couple years ago we remodeled several bathrooms and removed a fireplace. I had big holes and sections of drywall that needed to be fixed, replaced, and re-entered. Gilbert made it like you couldn't even tell any work was done. He also taped off non work areas so we didn't have a big mess. Gilbert goes above and beyond and we will definitely use him again. In fact, we just had a plumbing leak where I had to tear out a large section of drywall and I'm getting ready to call him to come back out for more work. One other thing.... I watched him mentor his helper too, and I have to say, Gilbert has some really good management and leadership skills. He knows how to treat people right and get the best out of them! All around great guy and business. read more

Gilbert dry walled the remainder of my unfinished garage. He was prompt, timely and professional.

Gilbert was awesome! I needed a repair done ASAP and luckily for me, not only did he have great reviews, but he answered his phone. I needed some patch work done. Gilbert was prompt, didn't make a huge mess, was courteous, and most important, did a great job. Highly recommend Gilbert! read more

Gilbert's Drywall Service put up drywall in our 2-car garage and did a phenomenal job! The job was done quickly (about a day); he even showed up 15 minutes before the scheduled arrival time. Gilbert pays attention to detail and really listens to what your concerns are. The area was left cleaner than when he started (he hand mopped my epoxy floors with a sponge, leaving the place spotless). I referred him to my neighbor to patch some outside stucco and it was completed on the same day. When we get ready to remodel our hallway bath, I will certainly call him. The kind of quality work and service he provides is simply amazing. Thanks Gilbert! read more

Gilbert was awesome, super professional and did great work! I called him the morning I needed the work done and got back to me quickly and came that day. Very happy with the results. I will use him for any future drywall work. Highly recommend Gilbert Drywall Service read more

Gilbert is fantastic! I had to rip out several sections of drywall, ceiling, baseboards and door frames in my house due to a major water leak. His price is very reasonable and his work is impeccable....after he was done it was like nothing ever happened...in fact it was better than before all the damage! He is the best contractor I've worked with bar none! I can't recommend Gilbert enough! He says what he'll do and does it on time, on budget and with uncompromising professionalism. read more

Gilbert did an amazing job repairing my ceiling after a water leak. He was very professional and very willing to work with my schedule. I am completely happy with the work he did in my home. There wasn't a trace of dust left behind and the ceiling looks like it was never damaged!! I would absolutely recommend him to family and friends. He was very honest and his price was extremely reasonable. read more

Gilbert removed a wall for us and did a great job. Gave us a fair quote, arrived on time, and worked neatly and professionally. Will have him come back to drywall after we have some light fixtures installed. You won't go wrong using Gilbert's drywall!!! read more

I was very pleased with the fantastic job that Gilbert did repairing my stucco and drywall. He worked diligently from the moment he showed up (on time) until the job was complete. Since his work was exceptional and his prices were more than fair, I highly recommend anyone in the market for stucco or drywall repair to contact Gilbert. I only wish I knew about the services he provided a few years ago because he did a much better job at a more competitive rate than my previous drywall contractor. For your drywall and stucco needs be sure to give Gilbert a call, I'm certainly glad I did. read more

Gilbert answered my call and offered to come the next day. I have been renovating my kitchen and my drywall guy disappeared halfway thru the job. Gilbert came, gave me an estimate and finished the work in a couple of hours. He gave me some options and fair prices. Four hours later he was done and the walls and celing looked great. Thanks Gilbert!!! read more

awesome awesome awesome i cant say more good things about Gilbert!!! If i could give more stars i would. He is at my house now and it is phenomenal. He does wonderful work, we recently had a flood in the house and the bottom section of all of our drywall had to be cut out. Insurance company contracted service masters for the demo work which was a nightmare they were horrible so we opted to do our own repairs with the insurance money. My father in law found Gilbert and called him and it was the best choice ever. Does absolutely amazing work and he is such a joy to work with. I have a 3 year old and 1 1/2 year old sons and when he came in the house, instead of seeing them as an obstacle he greeted them kindly, acknowledged them even interacted with them and our dog. For a mom who is opening her home up to a stranger to be around my family, for him to be sooo kind it makes a world of difference. He has definitely left a lasting impression and i would recommend him to anyone who needs work done!! read more

Do not look any further!! Gilbert was the quickest to respond and had the best pricing. Very fair. And then the work he did was great!! We had an area above a curved fireplace and it looks flawless!! Would recommend him to anyone!! read more
