Basement approx 500 sq ft. Mud/tape and knockdown ceiling
We are very happy with the work done in our basement! Barry's guys were quiet and wonderful to deal with. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Barry and his crew!

Barry and his team finished our basement walls and ceiling by supplying and installing drywall panels, and then mudding and taping the entire basement (even under the stairs, which our kids will use as a playroom). They did a fantastic job for a very reasonable cost. There were a few little things here and there that they had to come touch-up afterwards, but Barry was always very understanding, polite and willing to work with us to get everything right until we were happy with the end-result. The entire job from start to finish took about two weeks and they were very respectful of our family's schedule and household. I can wholeheartedly recommend The Mudd Monkey for your basement drywall and mudding project. They are terrific! Barry delivers awesome quality work that he puts his name on. There isn't much more for me to say except for "You can't go wrong with The Mudd Monkey!".

We had mudd monkey come over to our house to mud and tape our basement. The basement is approximately 500 sqft. Barry had his guys come in on Monday and had everything finished within a week. they were respectful and worked within our schedules.

The quality of work was superb and we are very happy with the results. I would highly recommend this company to any home owner.

Found Barry online and decided to give him a shot. He was very calm and approachable. His guys were clean and quiet. Finished product looks great. Barry and his guys are professionals and I would definitely recommend them/use them again.

Fantastic service from Barry. The quality of work is amazing, and his attention to detail is unsurpassed. On time, reasonably priced, and the best quality. I highly recommend Mudd Monkey.

Used them twice now. Barry is very responsive and reasonable to deal with. Barry & his crew do a great job. Will use them again and have recommended them to others. Great contractor.

We had our basement done by Barry and his guys in June, excellent work all around! Our painter had very minimal touch-ups to do and was impressed by the level of work done by our drywall guys. We would definitely use Mudd Monkey again on future projects and recommend them to family and friends in need of the same work.

I got several quotes for the drywalling and finishing of my basement and Barry was competitively priced (not the cheapest, but had great reviews and was very personable) All of the drywall was installed very well and in a reasonable time frame. The taping and mudding started out good, but it went downhill from there and took about 10 days longer then it should have. The guy that Barry had doing the taping and mudding work seemed very nice, but halfway through the job he seemed to not care about the quality of the work or how it looked in the end. There were lots of issues with the majority of the corners and some seams. I was told to "prime out the basement and then we'll come back and take care of deficiencies" I did this and then spent the better part of a couple hours marking out all of the areas that were poorly finished. There was a bit of back and forth between Barry and his employee which ultimately ended in Barry coming out to "fix" the issues himself. Then I had to prime the entire basement again to cover up all of the "fixes". I know that Barry honestly tried to make the best of a "bad job" and things ended up looking ok, not great overall; there are still areas that bother me as I see them every day. The only way to fix it is to rip it out and start over, which certainly isn't reasonable. I was hesitant to write the review as I know that Barry did the best he could by me and the situation, and I don't blame him for the end result. The main reason for this review is so that everyone is aware that with any good contractor, they are only as good as their worst employee. Who ever you choose in the end, be prepared for something that may not meet your expectations, even if the contractor has the best intentions. In the end I may not have been satisfied with the work overall, but Barry seems like a genuinely hard working guy that tries to give the best to his customers. This time it just didn't work out for either of us.

These guys put up some drywall and did the mudding and taping — the whole bit. The work was good. We just had a few minor issues with the finishing, a few of the seams look a little off is all, but we never addressed it anyway. On the whole, they were good, met our timeline and had a good price.
