Bone Drywall

I recently purchased a new home out in West Haven and was looking to have a professional drywall company come hang Sheetrock, mud and tape. I took the time to get 4 different bids on the project. My basement is roughly 1500 sqft. I wanted to match the textured ceiling but prefer the look of smooth walls vs the textured that most builders do. I also wanted a solution for the amount of sound coming through the floor upstairs. Boyd, Todd and their crew came out and gave me a very clear plan on what they would do and how they would do it. They explained everything very well and listened to exactly what I wanted. Their estimate was about $1000 more than the cheapest guy and about $1000 less than the most expansive. The 4th bid was from a company my neighbor used. They were roughly the same price as Bone but when I went and inspected the work at my neighbors house it wasn’t really up to my standard. Corners weren’t very clean, lots of extra mud down low that was noticeable in hallways and the rounded corners were coated too heavy and bare drywall paper was over sanded and showed through the paint. I decided to go with Bone and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results!! Joints are perfect, all windows are perfectly even, they hung some product on the ceiling Boyd explained well to me but I don’t remember what it’s called, but it helps dampen sound travel, corners are as clean as they get and the ceiling is perfect. They even left the soffit verticals smooth and textured the rest. I seriously can’t tell you how relieved I am to find a contractor worth recommending! I’ll upload some photos for reference. Thank you Boyd!

I’m leaving this review mostly as feedback for the company. I had an estimator come to my house this morning. I had let him know I had a meeting at 9, so we scheduled the estimate at 8. He ended up being at my house until almost 9:30, not out of necessity because the job wasn’t done, but because he kept talking for a spare 30-40 minutes complaining about different jobs they had going on, talking about how terrible some drywall hangers can be if he doesn’t keep an eye on them, weird choices people make that makes drywalling difficult, covid conspiracy theories about big Pharma and vaccinations, about how once he saw “some chick with pink hair” come in as a designer on a home project he knew she was going to be difficult to work with. It all felt very disrespectful, and unprofessional to me. 

My 3 year old son gets excited whenever we have a contractor come in for our basement because he likes to see what they are going to do. Every other person I’ve worked with has been incredibly kind to him and has brought a positive energy to our home, this morning he just talked over my son and myself when he needed to ask a question and overall it felt tense and uncomfortable. I should have spoken up that I needed to wrap things up but with my 3 year old in tow I just kept nodding my head and inching closer to the door in an effort to not spark any unnecessary conflict around the topics he kept pulling up left and right. My bad on that one. We won’t be booking a job with this company because this first interaction was so starkly different than what we have had with anyone else over the last several months.

Absolutely legit. Russ was meticulous with the bid, and right on the money. Hangers and tapers were clean (as clean as drywall can be). I especially loved how the hanger went above and beyond to add extra backing for the drywall, even when I said it was probably ok.. He made sure the Sheetrock was hung properly, and had support. Scott did a final walk through, noticed a spot he didn't like (which I didn't notice), and sent the hanger back to fix. Overall, I'd use them again in a second. True professionals. This is experienced crew. Scott, Russ, and the entire staff have hung, taped, and been in the business forever. Drywall is dirty work, but these guys know their stuff, and will give you a professional job at a good price.

I have worked with Bone Drywall for over 10 years. They have done work in two of my houses and have always exceeded my expectations. The quality of work is off the charts. Their finish work is top notch. Every employee is respectful of me and my home at every level. The staff in the office are kind and accommodating. The guys that come to my home are kind, clean, and polite. They clean up after they are done and arrive on time. Communication is great throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Bone Drywall to everyone I know because I know they will "rock" every job. From repairs to new construction, be sure to give them a call.

I used Scott Bone Drywall to finish a basement and a very tricky attic/bonus room. They did a fantastic job start to finish with no surprises. They began with a very thorough walk through and bid which was very competitive. During that process they pointed out a number of items that would need to be completed before sheetrock (which I otherwise would have missed). They had good communication and the work was performed as expected with a final followup visit from Boyd to make sure it all looked good. Thanks! I don't hesitate to recommend (and can't do that with all the subs that I've worked with on this project).
