Ceilings that have cracked, stained or been patched without matching the surrounding texture are jobs homeowners describe hiring Charlie's Drywall to fix. Based in Hudson, New Hampshire, the company says it provides residential and commercial drywall installation and repair, interior painting, ceiling finishing and trim work. A customer reviewing the company in December 2025 described a basement ceiling that had split open and threatened to come down. Charlie first assessed it and applied a temporary fix while the homeowner saved for the full repair. The customer said he later returned and fixed the entire ceiling in a two-day project, leaving the basement spotless. A July 2026 reviewer says a repair done in January still looks good several months later, and praises prompt replies and explanations of the process. Matching existing finishes comes up in several older accounts. In an August 2024 review, a homeowner described repair of an approximately 18-inch hole in a textured kitchen ceiling after plumbing work. Charlie inspected it in person, repaired the opening and painted the entire ceiling with two coats in one day; the homeowner said the repaired area could not be seen. A December 2023 reviewer described matching a swirl pattern. Another customer, reviewing in October 2023, reported popcorn-ceiling removal and a smooth finish, along with painting the living room and staircase. Customers also describe how the house was protected during the work. A September 2025 reviewer said the crew used drop cloths, plywood over hardwood flooring and plastic to seal off the room before sanding an old textured ceiling and repairing and painting walls. That customer reported a three-day job and cleanup afterward. In an August 2024 review, another homeowner described replacement of living-room wood paneling with drywall in less than one workday, following a free estimate and a detailed explanation of the process. There is also a scheduling complaint. In an April 2022 review, a prospective customer said an estimate visit was discussed but never scheduled, an email follow-up went unanswered and a later phone call felt hostile. The company's website states Massachusetts construction-supervisor and home-improvement-contractor credentials, EPA renovator certification and OSHA-30 safety training; these are the company's own claims.

It was a great pleasure to work with Charles! Communication with him is great, he always responds promptly and he gave us plenty of details of the process and how to prepare. Work was done in a timely manner and clean up was great! Repair was done in January and several months later it still looks great.
I'm late to doing this, but I had my kitchen ceiling (textured) done by Charlie and he was excellent to work with. Prompt, on-time, very reasonable, and great work. I'm very pleased with how the ceiling came out and will definitely use him again, if necessary.
Highly recommend Charlie. Him and his staff were prompt, professional and courteous start to finish. He was responsive to all communications prior to starting the job and followed through in every aspect. I had a ceiling repair done along with all the ceilings and trim on the first floor painted. I am a meticulous, detailed oriented person and Charlie’s work is outstanding. I will be hiring him again in the future.
My basement ceiling had split open and there was the risk of the whole thing coming down. Charlie came to assess it and gave the ceiling an excellent band-aid until I could save up enough money to get the whole thing fixed. Charlie came back this week and fixed the entire ceiling. It was a 2 day project and everything went extremely well. Charlie and his team were professional and left my basement looking spotless. I would definitely call Charlie again for other projects.
I had a ceiling in a great room that had a textured ??? finish. Over the years the ceiling looked like it was graying and it looked outdated. After finding Charlie's info on Google and Angie's list I contacted Charlie after reading his reviews. He was advised of the issue and made an appointment to come and view the room. He arrived punctually, looked at the room and advised me what he would be doing which included completely sanding of the old finish. Repairing any issues that he may find, the process he would be doing and the start date. This was agreed upon and on the start date Charlie was here right on time, put down drop clothes on the floor, plywood over that to protect the hardwood floor and plastic sealing off the room. Charlie also talked about painting the walls which was also done after sanding the walls and repairing any issues that he found. It took 3 days for Charlie and his worker to complete the job. The work area was cleaned up after the work was completed with no mess left behind. My wife and I were extremely satisfied with how good everything came out and would recommend Charlie to anyone needing ceiling work. or painting. We are having Charlie return in the near future to do another room for us.
