Drywall is one of the most important aspects to building a quality home, and yet many drywall contractors simply throw it together and let painters cover up shoddy workmanship. That lack of quality is a result of a contractor that doesn't respect his customers, doesn't have good crew, or doesn't oversee the jobs personally for quality control. The San Fernando Valley firm of Grantin Drywall Inc in Mission Hills CA is run by Mark Grantin, a hands-on owner who shows respect for his customers, who uses experienced crew working to high standards, and who oversees every job for quality, making him the preferred choice of homeowners and general contractors alike.

Grantin Drywall in the San Fernando Valley Has High Standards

Grantin Drywall in Mission Hills CA isn't the biggest company, and that's a benefit to customers because it means owner Mark Grantin is on-site guaranteeing work is done to his high standards. He tells us, "I'm on every jobsite, every day.  And I'm in constant communication with the general contractor or the homeowner." This is a refreshing contrast to so-called "paper contractors" who are only available to collect a check and aren't personally involved in the work.

Mark's hands-on approach means better craftsmanship. Other contractors end up in figner-pointing squabbles with painters who are upset that the drywall is unfinished or flawed. Unlike those companies, Mark Grantin takes pride in quality work and coordination that makes painters happy with a job that goes quickly and smoothly. He explains, "I make sure the painters are always impressed with how well we set up the walls for them. And if there's any flaw, we go back in and fix it for free. They love to follow us."

Experienced Crew at Grantin Drywall in Mission Hills CA

Having an experienced and competent crew for your customers takes more than just refusing to hire  day-laborers off the street like so many others do. It also means treating each employee with respect and requiring high standards of them. Mark says, "I treat my men really well because they're very good at what they do. They become perfectionists, just like me and love doing the job for the customer. They start the job every day with a smile on their face because of it."

If another company bids dirt cheap, it's a warning sign that you're getting inexperienced, underpaid and unmotivated crew. And the seemingly cheap company actually costs you more in the long run with mistakes you pay the follow-up contractor to repair.  

During a research call for this article, one customer named Kevin in Mission Hills CA told us, "Mark is great! He is like a magician. His crew is extremely professional. They really know what they're doing. With a company that's really cheap, your painter will charge you more to fix the mistakes. I would definitely recommend everyone use Mark."

Grantin Drywall Inc in the San Fernando Valley Respects Customers

Other companies are inconsiderate of the fact they're working in space the homeowner is living in, or that other contractors have to work in.  Unlike those companies, Grantin Drywall and its crew show respect for customers. Mark shares, "We treat your home or your jobsite with respect at all times. We clean up every day and keep a safe job site. Customers know they can trust us.  No homeowner has ever had to take off work just to be around the house while we're there."

And in contrast to contractors that come and go when they feel like it, Mark Grantin keeps appointments and his crew show up on time. "When a contractor shows up late, it's rude," says Mark. "Customers have a schedule too and we respect that by being on time and keeping commitments."

A resident of the San Fernando Valley, Mark Grantin lives in North Hills CA which has been home for 30 years. He enjoys golf and spending time with his son and grandson.  Friends describe him as an all around great guy, and customers know him as honest, organized, and dedicated to satisfying the customer.

So we found that the San Fernando Valley firm Grantin Drywall Inc in Mission Hills is the preferred choice of general contractors and homeowners in the know, with a hands-on owner who personally oversees experienced crew held to high standards for quality and respect of customers.

Perhaps Richard Powell of Richard Powell Construction summed it up best when he told us, "Mark's work is excellent. His guys are amazing; they just do the most brilliant work. They can do smooth or textured and if you are dissatisfied in any way, Mark will personally come back and fix it himself. I've used him for years and he is very professional. I wouldn't use anyone else."
