HOW IT WORKS

THREE STEPS, FROM FIRST PHOTO TO FINAL WALKTHROUGH

01 / Scope
Send photos or plans

A room, a leak, a set of plans — we'll tell you if it's a photo-quote or needs a site visit.

02 / WALKTHROUGH
On-site for anything major

Remodels, ADUs, and structural work get a walkthrough before pricing — no guessing on scope.

03 / BUILD
Same crew, start to finish

The crew that quotes the job is the crew that finishes it — no rotating subs.

WHO YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH

Meet Sergei

I'm Sergei, owner of Fresh Start Drywall.

I've been doing drywall for many years and still work on every project myself. My crew is small, so you'll see the same people from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.

We’d give 10 stars if we could! Sergei is trustworthy, reliable, methodical, efficient, and highly skilled. We had saved up a bunch of dissimilar drywall repair projects so that we could tackle them at once. Sergei clearly explained what was necessary for each project, prioritized the work, and got everything done with great results. He didn’t compromise the quality of the job by rushing through the steps. He kept our house as reasonably clean as you can keep a house when having drywall work done.

Sam is incredible! He’s friendly, quick to respond and even takes time to teach me things when I ask. He works efficiently and his prices are incredibly reasonable. His quality of work is excellent. I’ve hired him for multiple different house projects, renovations and repairs and he consistently does a great job. I will continue to use his services and refer him to friends that need help with house projects.

Sergei is very skilled. He came on time and completed the job quickly and efficiently. The patch blends perfectly with the rest of the wall, you can't even tell there was a hole. Highly recommended!

Very happy with the work that was done. I was in need of some drywall repair and Sergei made the process very easy. I was given a rough estimate via text and made a appointment for a few days later. I had water damage to the ceiling above my shower. After Sergei was done it look like another ever happen. I recommend him for all all water damage repair and drywall repair. 5 stars across the board.

Sergey did a fantastic job restoring our master bathroom after some water damage. The drywall quality was top-notch. The bathroom looks modern and clean. 5 stars for the skill and professionalism

Great work, fast, quality, professional, and reasonably priced. A rare find! Sergei protected all the floors and left the work area completely spotless after the drywall repair.
FAQ

What people usually ask

Why don't you list a price per square foot?

Because square footage alone doesn’t tell us how long a job will take — and time is what actually drives cost. Two rooms of the same size can take very different amounts of work depending on framing condition, texture matching, or access. We estimate the time first, then price the project — not the other way around. If you want a $/sq ft number for comparison, we can back into one once we’ve scoped your actual project.

We focus on full-scope work — full rooms, remodels, estorations, and new onstruction  rather than one-off small patches. If you’re not sure your project qualifies, text us a photo and we’ll tell you.

We tell you what’s realistic before you pay, not after. Texture won’t
match 100% — we say so upfront. A wall needs Level 5, not Level 4 
we say so before you choose the cheaper option and regret it later.
