In 2002, after 40 years successful experience as a plaster and drywall subcontractor, Mike Boyd formed Boyd Consulting Group. His company serves architects, building owners, developers, property managers, general contractors, exterior wall subcontractors, attorneys, insurance companies, realtors and homeowners.
“I was a lath apprentice and a plaster apprentice when I was a teen,” says Mike. “I have been in the stucco business in some form or another since I was 13 years old (1960).”
Mike was a key part of nationally respected Ray Boyd Plaster & Drywall, a family business that spanned 55 years. He says the thing he’s most proud of is “that in the history of the Ray Boyd companies 1947 – 2002, we were NEVER involved in any type of claim, arbitration, mediation, litigation, or lawsuit dealing with the installation of our work (lath, plaster, stucco, fireproofing, EIFS.)”
Mike Boyd has been an active leader in the industry at the local, state and national levels. He is a Certified EIFS Inspector as certified by:
