01the possibilities
Walls and ceilings finished smooth and paint-ready
With drywall, the finishing is the part you end up looking at. A patch needs to be feathered out well past the repair, seams need to be filled so they do not show through the paint, and a ceiling has to be flat enough that afternoon light does not pick out every joint. In an older Tallahassee home there is often a bit of everything to work with, an old roof-leak repair, a wall that was textured to hide it, or a ceiling painted so many times the joints have disappeared. Getting all of that flat and even again takes time and patience, and it is the part of the job we take the most care over.
Hanging sheetrock and finishing it well are two different skills, and the finish is the part you see every day. We hang board on walls and ceilings, tape, mud and sand it to a paint-ready finish, and patch water damage, holes and cracks. Patching takes care, since it needs to be feathered out well past the damage so the repair does not show once light crosses the wall, and ceilings take longer still, because any unevenness shows more readily overhead. And because we are often already fitting your trim, doors and cabinetry, the drywall around that work is finished by the same people, so it all comes together cleanly.

Sheetrock and Finishing Pricing in Tallahassee
Every job is different. We offer free, no-obligation estimates so you know the price before any work starts.
03 no surprises
A change order you approved is not a surprise
Older homes turn up the most, but even a newer one can hide something nobody could see at the estimate. That possibility is written into our estimates and proposals, and you sign it before anything starts. So when something does come up, the work stops, Kevin walks you through it, and it becomes a change order you approve, rather than something you find out about afterwards.
- it was disclosed before you signed
- the work stops
- Kevin talks it through with you
- you approve the change order
You decide before it goes ahead

Sheetrock and Finishing Questions, Answered
General
Do you finish drywall to a paint ready state?
Yes. Kevin hangs, tapes, muds and sands to a paint ready finish. A common job here is undoing a shortcut left by someone before, a sheet of drywall standing proud of the plaster wall around it, floated back flat until the eye cannot find the seam.
Can you patch a hole or a bad drywall repair?
Yes. Patching, skim coating and blending a repair into the surrounding wall is a lot of what Kevin does, and the goal is that you cannot see where the patch was.
Does the owner actually do the work?
Yes. Kevin is on every job. His son Lil Kevin works alongside him, and the person who prices your project is the person who builds it. There is no sales rep handing your job to a crew you have never met.
How big is your crew?
Three of us, and that is the whole company. Kevin and his son Lil Kevin are the two on site, and Amanda handles every call and inquiry. The two of them get through what a crew of four would.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
No, Lumber Lunatics works on homes rather than commercial buildings.
Pricing
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Kevin comes out and looks at the job with you and talks through the options. He does not price it on the spot, because materials and labor have to be worked out properly, so the detailed estimate comes to you afterwards. There is no charge and no obligation.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, check, zelle, and credit cards.
Trust
Is there a warranty on your work?
Yes. We provide a workmanship warranty on every project, with the specific terms spelled out in your written proposal before the work begins.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work?
If your project needs major plumbing or electrical work, Kevin will tell you so and recommend you bring in a licensed plumber or electrician. He is not licensed for that work and he is not going to pretend otherwise. You will hear that at the estimate, not halfway through the job.
Are you insured?
Yes, Lumber Lunatics is insured on every project.
How far out are you booking?
Scheduling varies based on the scope of your project and our current workload. We will provide our current availability when we discuss your project.
Service Area
What areas do you serve?
Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend area, roughly an hour out. That includes Crawfordville, Quincy, Havana, Monticello, Midway, Blountstown, and Sneads. If you are near the edge of that, just ask.
