Rock N Tape Drywall

Rock N Tape Drywall did a wonderful job restoring several sections of water-​damaged wall in my house. I was incredibly pleased that Art was willing and able to take on all aspects of the job: replacement of insulation, drywall, wall texture, trim replacement, and paint. He made the walls pretty again!
Other places charged much more, yet offered less service.
To agree with another reviewer, Art IS indeed a rarity – he gives quick responses to all emails and gives reasonable quotes. Bonus: He arrived on-​time to the arranged appointment and finished the work within the day. Very happy with the work from Rock N Tape Drywall!

Art is very professional, on time and did quality work on our texturing. He was in and out in a couple of days. Very easy to work with and I highly recommend him. Thank you Art!

Art is a rarity in the Silicon Valley… he’s a licensed contractor that does PHENOMENAL work at AMAZING rates. I received 4 bids and Art was by far the lowest, 25−80% less than his competition!
Art arrived exactly on time, as promised, for both the bid and the work. He gave a detailed quote within 24 hours and was very easy to communicate with. He also had no problems working around other contractors I had in the house. Art’s work ethic is awesome and the quality of work is superb, which obviously stems from his sincere business philosophy.
Avoid wasting your time shopping around with his competition and just hire RnT. Art is a solid and respectful guy with a talent for what he does. I will definitely use him again for all our drywall needs.

Art and his crew are top notch. They started the work on short notice, completed the work quickly, and the end result was absolutely perfect. Art even let me borrow some of his tools to help me get the wall painted. Would recommend his work to anyone looking for a perfect job to be done.

Art did a great job texturing my kitchen. He was quick to respond, accommodated my schedule and did the job quickly and professionally. I would hire him again.

Don’t waste your time calling this guy.
Doesn’t show up to appointments.
I had a confirmed appointment with Art. The day of the the appointment (about 2 hours prior to the scheduled time) I received a text stating that he started another job and wouldn’t be able to make it. No «Sorry» or «Can we reschedule». SERIOUSLY!!! If you have committed to a meeting, you keep your word.
The only silver lining was that I found out that I couldn’t depend on Art before hiring him.

I had some water damage in the ceiling of the master bedroom from a leak in the roof. I called several contractors for bids. Only half of them called back or answered my call. They were quoting some pretty high rates and offered a 2 day turnaround. Art gave me the most competitive rate and completed the job in one day. Now that’s customer service and a job well done! I highly recommend Art and will use him again.

Art Martinez just finished drywalling and texturing my kitchen remodel and also removed popcorn from my living room ceiling and re-​textured. Art did a fantastic job and we couldn’t be more pleased. If you are looking for an honest conscientious professional to work for you, you can’t go wrong with this company. The price was extremely fair and I would definitely use them again.

we called Art twice to repair the ceiling in the family room. the first around we had a good exp so we called him again. this guy is so rude and does mediocre work. he is very unprofessional! would not work with him again. nor would I recommend him to anyone!

I made a call to Art and he come by the same day. Fast service and very reasonable price. He is on-​time, polite, and easy going. The only minor complaint is that he forget to remove the dust /​drywall shred. But not a big deal. But overall, for those who provide the same day service with an affordable price, they deserve five star. I’ll definitely hire him again.
Also, he is licensed and bound. And his quote is about 20−25% lower than handyman without a license. Thanks Unilocal

After an initial discussion and sending my building plans to Art, I didn’t hear back. I followed up about a month later and still no response.

I needed to repair two mid-​size (about 17″ x 16″) damages on textured drywall, and Art did a pretty good job for me. Here are things I liked about Art:
1. Excellent Quote/​Price
I got several quotes from different contractors/​handymen and Art’s was by far the best (about 40−60% less than others).
2. Communicative & Supportive
I emailed RFQs (requests for quote) to several contractors/​handymen and Art responded most quickly and diligently. Also, on the day after his job, I asked a few questions about painting (which I did myself later) via email and he responded with the answer pretty quickly.
3. Punctual
He came in about half an hour late, but he sent me an email to notify me of the delay in advance.
4. Quality of Work
The job was a bit more challenging than usual because one of the damaged drywall was textured and located at the corner of the ceiling in a small bathroom. But he did a good job and the results (quality) was satisfying.
We chatted a lot (about work, hobby, family, religion, etc) during the work and I enjoyed it !
Thanks Art !

We bought our house 4 months ago. Everything needed repair and remodelling. Art did a wonderful job and it was a lot of work! We had popcorn ceiling removed by the asbestos company and they damaged the ceiling badly, the walls had a horrible texture and wallpaper, we also built a new wall and needed to cover it with drywall. We have high, two story ceiling so the scaffolding was necessary to do all this.
I contacted almost a dozen contractors. One did not show up, another said it was too much work, another yet gave me an appointment and arrived 3 hours later without saying sorry. The others — ALL the others — gave me an estimate for lightly textured walls — they said it was impossible to get a smooth finish with our old imperfect walls. Art was the only one who actually said he could do it AND his estimate for super smooth was lower — way lower than others’ for textured walls.
Art showed up on time, gave us en estimate right away (I waited for somebody else’s for a week) we were able to reach him when we needed and he kept the deadline which was very important as we were to move in a few days after the drywall job and any delay would force us to move in a lot of dust… We were lucky, everything went smoothly, the guy who works with Art is a very hardworking (and nice) person and he did a quality job!
Our smooth walls and ceiling are beautiful, they give the house a modern look, we get compliments. I hate textured walls and am very happy to have perfectly smooth walls in the entire house except for the kitchen and the bathrooms which are waiting their turn for being remodelled :-)
We will soon remodel our kitchen and will certainly contact Art!

Great and Quick work.

I recently had insulation blown into my walls. The insulation contractors patched the holes with a rough patch but they would have shown through after painting. I called Art to feather the patches into the rest of the wall. He provided an estimate over the phone and showed up the same day to do the work.

We hired Art to repair our drywall in the garage that got water damage. He replaced the insulation, added sheet rock, tape, and mud. He did an excellent job. The communication was great and his quality was excellent. His prices were one of the best. Art not only did what we agreed on but also was very courteous. He cleaned up when the job was complete. I would highly recommend him for drywall and insulation needs.

I had Art and his guys do the sheet rock, tape and texture on a new addition that I have been working on. The end result was excellent. The job went quickly and with no problems. I would recommend Art to others. I went out for quotes and his prices were very good.

Boom… boom… boom… just like that! They say when things come together it was meant to be and this experience calls for a 5 star rating!

My lighting project began with an impromptu phone call last week to an electrician that was recommended by a fellow colleague. I’m a retired designer, and have worked with a number of contractors in my past life so I speak from experience. Andy Starr, the electrician hired to install 7 cans in my kitchen started on a Monday, he referred me to Balt’s Custom Painting who came out the very same day to give me a bid on the project. Since this was out of his scope of work, he recommended Art Martinez Rock N’ Tape. Within minutes, we had Art on the phone and he came that afternoon to look at the job.
Art quoted $ 400.00, the price was fair and reasonable and best of all… he could start on Wednesday morning and wrap up Thursday noon. I paid him $ 200.00 after the initial work and the balance at completion. The scope of the project required removing the existing trim, drywall/​tape a small opening/​enclosure, replacing the corner edge, floating the ceiling to blend with the new, and texture spray of knockdown. BTW, he delivered what he promised… there were no delays, no additional costs and he was a pleasure to work with at every step. What Art does for a living is more than your typical drywaller, he’s literally an ARTIST and credit to his trade. I wouldn’t have believed it if I had not seen the work for myself but he matched the «knockdown» texture identical with the preexisting walls to perfection.
I am a neat freak so I was impressed with Art’s care and attention to detail to insure the area he was working in was totally enclosed/​encased and protected from the other areas of the house. He sectioned off the room with plastic floor to ceiling, he cleaned and removed all the debris, hauled out the trash, vacuumed and wipe down the floors and all surfaces impacted. IMPRESSIVE considering my kitchen cabinets are painted black galaxy so every speck of dust is visible yet you would never know that he was even there! Balt’s painter, Pal, came in the following day and painted the ceiling. My kitchen ceiling was done in 4 days (actually 3, the extra day was to allow for adequate drying) thanks to these phenomenal professionals! My kitchen now looks like a model showroom; you would never know that any work or any crew had been there.

Great is as great does… the energy you give is what you attract in return. On every level, personally and professionally, you won’t go wrong using Art ’cause he’s da man for the job!

I help manage a small plumbing service company and we have many jobs that require an expert’s touch up to the walls and or the ceiling. Rock ‘N’ Tape drywall is the best!
You cannot even tell where the repair was done.
Our customers are very concerned that the repair will always be an eyesore, and it could very well be if done by an amateur.
We have always had excellent service at competitive rates with Rock ‘N’ Tape drywall. I recommend them without hesitation!

Comcast installed cable in my mom’s house and ended up going in the attic and making a huge crack in the ceiling. (Thanks a lot Comcast, I’m gonna write a review bout that later…) Anyway, my mom’s all pissed so my awesome bf looked up someone to fix it and found Rock N Tape!
The day after Comcast broke the ceiling, Art came out and took a look and instead of sealing it, he thought it was best to replace the piece of the ceiling. So he measured, determined the paint color and left. The very next day, he came back with a new piece, with matching paint and he even popcorned it cause my mom is old school like that and her ceiling is all popcorned. He put plastic down the hallway, dumped the old piece and even vacuumed up the hallway to make sure it was clean even though he put the plastic down. I am a difficult woman to please, I’m like my mother, but I was very happy with the service and the quality of work. All it cost was $ 100 and it was $ 100 well spent. I love the service, the quality and most important for me, the efficiency cause I am quite the busy woman and hate dealing with that stuff. On top of that, it looks like nothing happened to the ceiling in the first place. Art really impressed me, even gave us tips to unpopcorn as it can worsen allergies. ‘Ppreciate the tip! My mom’s house needs some attn so I’ll def use Art in the future as needed as he has definitely proven himself. If he gives this kinda of service to everyone, then I would recommend him!
BTW I was debating whether to give a 4 or 5 star because I don’t want to be over generous with my 5 star ratings, but I ended up giving 5 stars cause I really can’t think of what could have been done better (Besides doing it for FREE lol). It was a smooth process =)
