Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every bid is free and there's no obligation. Send us the plans or a scope summary and you'll have a written, itemized bid within one business day.

It depends on the wall. The biggest drivers are wall height, stud gauge and spacing, how much blocking and bracing the design calls for, and the layout, whether it's long straight runs or a lot of corners, soffits, and openings. Taller walls and heavier-gauge steel cost more per foot than a standard office-height partition. Rather than quote a number that won't match your job, we price your actual plans and hand you an itemized bid, by the square foot of wall and by the linear foot, so you can see exactly what drives the cost.

Drywall hanging is priced by the square foot of board, adjusted for ceiling height, board type (standard, fire-rated, or moisture-resistant), and access. Suspended acoustical ceilings are priced by the square foot of grid and tile plus the grid type. Both go on the same itemized bid, so you see the quantities and unit pricing instead of a lump sum.

We price by scope and square footage, factoring in board type, ceiling height, and access. You get an itemized bid up front with quantities you can check, so there are no vague ranges and no line items that appear later.

On larger jobs we usually take a deposit to reserve the schedule and cover materials, with the balance billed against progress as the work is completed. Whatever the terms, we put them in writing before any work starts.

It depends on our current schedule and the size of the scope. We reply to every request within one business day and can often mobilize quickly. You'll get a firm timeline along with your bid.

It's three steps. First you send us the plans or scope by phone or email. Then we send a written, itemized bid within one business day. Once it's approved, our crew shows up on the scheduled day and works in sequence with your other trades.

Yes, wherever the schedule allows. We seal off the work area with dust barriers, protect the floors and the HVAC returns, and clean up at the end of each day, so the rest of the building can keep operating.

Yes. Martinez Professional Construction carries full liability insurance, and we're glad to provide a certificate of insurance on request. Texas does not require a state license for this trade, so we carry insurance rather than a license.

We do. We aren't finished until our scope meets both our standard and yours, which means the punch list is cleared and the details are right before we hand off to the next trade.

No. We don't pull permits or perform inspections ourselves, so the general contractor or owner keeps those. We build our scope to code so it's ready for the inspection they schedule.

Our focus is commercial, but we do take on crew-scale residential work for builders, remodelers, and custom-home GCs: metal and wood framing, wall removal, ADU and garage framing, and drywall hanging. What we don't do is small drywall patch or repair calls. If you're a homeowner with a larger remodel, have your builder reach out.

No job is too small. A single demising wall, a ceiling grid for one suite, or blocking for a build-out, we bid it with the same free bid and the same standard of work as a large package.
