We needed the drywall finished in our basement renovation project. There were some areas where the drywall was hung and others that still needed drywall. We also wanted the mudding and taping completed.
We had asked a few companies for quotes. One of them was Ralph From Calgary Systems Interiors. He came out and measured everything, looked at the existing work and estimated the material required and interviewed us to see if we would be a good fit for his services. We passed, and his very thorough estimation and explanations of how his services would work was exactly what we were looking for. It was way above the other semi-quotes of 5 minutes of looking and then giving us a cost that we had with the other vendors.
At all times Ralph was very good at keeping us updated as to what the schedule was, who would be coming when and what we needed to to to prepare. For example: have a supply of hot water for the taping, etc.
As the job progressed, we were very impressed with Ralph's crews that came out to do the work. The remaining drywall was hung in about 1/2 a day including a stairwell. ( I would have taken months to complete the stairs and probably would have fallen to my death at least a couple of times ;o)
Once the drywall was up the taper, Barry was out to do the next steps. Barry made everything look easy, he was very fast and his work was immaculate. We have a number of odd angles and bulkheads that needed extra effort and care and Barry made them look perfect. There was an area where the new drywall joined in the old (from 20+ years ago) drywall at the bottom of stairwell that Barry made look perfect.
Overall we are very pleased with the work and highly recommend Ralph and his crews.
We waited until the painting was done and the lights were hooked up to take pictures. The raw drywall didn't show the quality of work as well.
Thanks to Ralph, Barry and his crew of craftsmen.

Thank you Murray for such a detailed review of Calgary Interior Systems. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope we are able to work with you again in the future.
