Celtic Finishes

Project went extremely well, with the process discussed openly and clearly along the way. Final product exactly as expected. Not first time using Celtic, very reliable.

We chose Celtic Finishes over two other drywall contractors who provided quotes that were significantly lower. We did this partially due to Celtics great reviews on HomeStars, but also because we wanted a contractor who would also do the painting. We have no regrets whatsoever for paying a premium on their work because the results have been fantastic.

The scope of work was finishing drywall in our home, which included a kitchen, dining room, living room, hallway and stairway; a total of about 700 sq ft, with 9 ft ceilings. It also included the priming and two coats of finish paint throughout.

I'm a Licensed Millwright and Carpenter with over 40 years of experience in the trades. I did all the framing, boarding and corner beads for this job myself and I'm extremely particular about finished surfaces being straight, flat, level, plumb, smooth, etc. I've also done a lot of drywall finishing myself and I can certify that the work done by Declan's crew was extremely good. They always showed up promptly at 8 am, worked steadily all day, and usually finished at 5:00 after cleaning up and storing all their tools and materials in a nice neat pile. I was amazed by how fast and efficiently the mud was applied, how such a small amount ended up on the floor and how little sanding was required.

The painting was done by the same crew that did the mudding, with the same attention to details and the same expert results. We have crown moulding, a picture rail and two accent colours as part of the job and all were finished very well. Prior to Celtic's arrival, I had invested a huge amount of effort in re-framing our very out-of-level, 100 year old plaster ceiling and the new ultra mat paint job on the new, perfectly smooth and level drywall is so stunning that it's hard for me to remember how bad it was previously.

It may not always be the case that "you get what you paid for", but we certainly did with Celtic and they are at the top of my list for help with any future work.

Celtic Finishes completed a full renovation of our unfinished basement. The project was to create a new rental unit with a separate walk-in entrance. From start to finish the entire process went smoothly. The workmanship, attention to detail and finishes was exceptional, we are very happy with the finished product. The Celtic Finishes team was hard-working, respectful, and always on hand to answer any questions or concerns we may have had.

We highly recommend Celtic Finishes!
