In drywalling, quality speaks louder than price. Whether it’s a flawless finish or a perfectly smooth ceiling, your craftsmanship tells the story of your professionalism.
But today’s customers don’t just rely on word-of-mouth—they look online to decide who they can trust with their home or renovation project.
That’s where reviews come in. A drywall business with a wall of 5-star feedback instantly stands out from competitors, and commands higher-paying jobs with less effort.
Here’s how to earn more reviews for your drywalling business, automatically.
1. Be Where Homeowners Are Searching
When someone needs drywall repair or finishing, they’re not flipping through a phone book—they’re searching Google, Facebook, or community groups like Nextdoor.
To win those jobs, your business needs to show up with a strong online reputation. A profile full of recent, authentic reviews builds trust faster than any ad ever could.
And visuals help seal the deal. A gallery of your clean seams, finished basements, or smooth ceilings gives potential clients instant confidence.
Instead of chasing down every customer for feedback:
- Send automated personalized review invites right after a project wraps up
- Automatically publish your best reviews on Google, Facebook, and your website
- Add real-time “recently reviewed” widgets to your site for instant credibility
That way, your business looks active, trustworthy, and impressive—everywhere people are searching.
2. Let Your Work Speak (and Shine) Visually
Drywalling is one of those trades where results are deeply visual—even if most people don’t notice the detail until it’s done right.
A seamless wall or ceiling can completely change the look of a space. So use that to your advantage.
Try this:
- Take before-and-after photos of each job, especially patch repairs or basement finishing
- Encourage your crew to capture “in-progress” shots showing skill and precision
- Capture short, satisfying clips of your drywall work—like smoothing mud or taping seams—and post them on Instagram Reels or TikTok with local hashtags to showcase craftsmanship and attract new clients.
- Ask happy customers if you can feature photos of the completed work on your website or social media
You can even run small contests, like “Smoothest Finish of the Month,” or highlight customer stories like “How We Helped This Family Renovate Their Dream Basement.”
With NiceJob, your best reviews and photos can automatically turn into eye-catching social posts—keeping your online presence fresh without extra effort.

3. Ask for Reviews at the Perfect Moment
Even thrilled clients might forget to leave a review once their renovation dust settles. That’s why timing is key.
The best moment to ask is right after the job is complete, while the customer is still admiring your work.
A simple message like:
“We’re so glad you love your new walls! Would you mind sharing your experience in a quick review?”
feels genuine and natural.
NiceJob automates this step for you—sending review invites and reminders at just the right times. You’ll collect 4x more 5-star reviews while focusing on the next project, not follow-ups.

4. Reply to Every Review (Yes, Every One)
Getting reviews is great. Replying to them though, that’s what truly builds your reputation.
Here’s why it matters:
- Professionalism: You show clients you value their time and feedback
- Trust: Future customers see that you’re approachable and care about satisfaction
- SEO Boost: Google rewards businesses that engage actively with their reviewers
Even a negative review can be turned around with a calm, solution-oriented response. By showing accountability, you win respect—and sometimes even repeat business.
NiceJob's Review Boosting SOP templates make it easy to respond quickly, authentically, and without overthinking every word.
5. Turn Reviews Into Referrals
Once you’ve built momentum, your reviews start doing the marketing for you. Each happy client becomes a mini-marketer—helping you earn more word-of-mouth jobs.
Here’s how that cycle works:
- You finish the job and send a review request.
- The customer leaves a glowing review—maybe with a photo of their new, finished space.
- You reply with thanks and share that review online.
- Their friends or neighbors see it, click through, and hire you.
- Those new clients leave reviews too—and the cycle keeps rolling.
With this approach, your drywalling business grows on autopilot. No constant ads. No door-knocking. Just steady, reputation-fueled leads.
Why You’ll Stand Out—Without Working Harder
While others chase leads through ads or discounts, you’ll have a reputation engine that runs 24/7.
Every finished wall, smooth ceiling, and satisfied customer becomes a new opportunity for reviews and referrals.
By combining timely review requests, automated follow-ups, and smart review-sharing tools, you can stay focused on quality craftsmanship while NiceJob handles the rest.
