How a repair goes
Done the way it's supposed to be done
Thin coats and real dry time are what make a patch disappear. No shortcuts that crack next winter.

Who you're hiring
A father and son crew
I'm Jesse Frederick. I've been working construction for 15 years and finishing drywall for 10. I'm not from Murphy, but this is where I live and work now, and Mud Dogs isn't my first business.
My son has worked beside me since he was 13. He plays for the Murphy Bulldogs, which is where the name comes from. When you hire Mud Dogs, it's the two of us showing up.
