Legacy Drywall and Painting works out of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, just over the Massachusetts line, and the reviews on file skew toward one kind of job: patching, hanging, and finishing drywall and plaster, with painting folded in as the last step. Herberth, who runs the crew, shows up by name in nearly every account — homeowners talk to him directly, and he's the one making the estimate and standing behind it. The strongest thread running through the reviews is speed of response. On a $17,000 renovation, one customer said the owner came out within a day of the inquiry, held to his original estimate, and answered calls and texts immediately in most cases — replying within the hour when he didn't. A popcorn-ceiling job got similar marks: the crew arrived on time, stripped the old texture down to smooth walls, and added an extra room to the job without fuss. A $70,000 renovation that combined drywall, plaster, and paint work drew praise along the same lines — steady communication and attention to detail from start to finish. Not every account was clean. A 2024 review described a sheet-rock installation where the crew worked over five electrical outlets without flagging it, then had to return a second time to reopen them — and complained of late-night work sessions on short notice with little communication about when the job was actually finished. It's the one sour note among the reviews quoted here, but it's a specific, credible one worth asking about: how the crew handles outlets and fixtures mid-installation, and what day-to-day communication looks like once work is underway. On Angi, the company's broader review base runs stronger than that single complaint suggests — a 4.8-star average across 21 ratings, with 95% five stars. For a drywall, plaster, or painting job that needs to move fast, Legacy Drywall and Painting is worth a call; just confirm upfront how they'll handle outlets and other fixtures before work begins.

Installation of sheet rock was unacceptable. Contractor went over five outlets and disregarded letting me know they had to come back the second time to resend open up the electrical outlets that they covered inconvenienced me by coming when it was convenient for them two nights in a row stayed until midnight , while having to get up for work the next morning, no communication on letting me know that they had completed the work that was still unacceptable. I would not use or refer them as a , while having to get up for work the next morning, no communication on letting me know that they had completed the work that was still unacceptable. I would not refer legacy contractors, drywall and painting. I have to hire another contractor to correct the mistakes that they made
Very well! Mr. Lemus came out within a day of our inquiry and provided us an accurate estimate, which he stood by. During the project he offered to perform other work as well (crown molding and painting) being careful to make sure we understood how much the work would cost outside of our original estimate and that we agreed to it before he started the work. Communication with Mr. Lemus was outstanding. Anytime we called or texted, he responded immediately in most cases, and when he did not, his response still came within the hour. We are very happy with the final product and will reach out to this company again for additional work as we continue our renovations. They were honest, on point, on time and finished when they said they would.
Herberth at Legacy Drywall and Painting did an outstanding job on my home renovation, handling all the drywall, plaster, and paint work with skill and thoughtfulness. His responsiveness and professionalism were evident throughout the project, ensuring that every detail was addressed. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Legacy drywall and Painting for any drywall and painting needs for a homeowner or contractor - he truly delivers top-notch work.
