They stained the woodwork and applied two coats of varnish. Two bedroom closets, one a walk-in, were plastered, primed and painted as well as bedroom and bathroom. Old wallpaper, which was at least 25 years old, was removed from bedroom walls and Wally prepare all walls for new paint A corner molding in the hallway was stripped and refinished; and a spot on the hallway ceiling was painted. He did an excellent job - very professional. Each day, he informed me of his progress and let me know what he would be doing the following day. Cleanup was excellent every day after work he clean up all debris. The bedroom is now as good as new and looks beautiful.

Kelly came over for a color consultation and it was fun watching her enthusiastically brainstorm the possibilities for our condo. She ultimately suggested bold yet warm colors for our living room, bedroom, and bathroom, a Venetian textured paint for our foyer, and wallpaper for our office. She also met us at a design store to help select wallpaper and material for some reupholstery (at an additional cost). Though we intended to install crown molding only in our living room, she also persuaded us to do so in our bedroom and kitchen. While these latter choices of Venetian paint, wallpaper, additional crown molding, and the trip to the store ended up tacking on more money than we had intended, it was well worth it. The additional crown, which was flawlessly installed, added a finished look to our entire condo. Kelly's use of color and texture combinations took advantage of the unique contours of our condo and complemented our furniture, rugs, and drapes. The end result was exactly the stylish makeover we wanted but had no idea how to execute on our own. Juan and the rest of the PTTR crew did excellent work. They were extremely careful around our hardwood floors and possessions, covering and wrapping everything in sight. They provided amazingly high-quality work, whether it was repairing, installing crown, wallpapering, or painting."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/chicago/paint-the-town-red-reviews-279058.htm"},"position":10}]}

My next door neighbor used Eddy's to remove a couple trees, one of which was near our property line. The worker in the bucket dropped limbs recklessly on several small trees, breaking branches, which will expose them to disease and possibly kill them. The workers on the ground piled up the...
Anna & Elizabeth came to my apartment on time and they did exactly as I asked them to do—clean the bathrooms and wipe down all surfaces in the bedrooms, make the beds and vacuum. In the bathrooms I put away everything on the counters because I had too much on the countertops. They removed the...

The hardest part of the job was removing the old parts since the fixtures are almost 20 years old and have not been maintained previously. Dave had the appropriate tools and skill to do the job and he completed it efficiently.

"I hired Casey and his team to paint my entire condo, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding from start to finish. I had my colors picked, but Casey helped refine finishes and suggested ways to simplify color use across rooms. He came out for a free quote within a few days, provided insurance info, and came back later to paint samples on the walls so I could feel confident in my choices. I wasn’t living there yet and chose not to be there so I could be surprised, but Casey sent daily updates. They finished exactly on time, stayed within budget, and even swapped out outlet covers for me. The quality was amazing! Clean lines, smooth finishes, and not a drip anywhere. They actually left the place cleaner than they found it. Casey even matched caulk to different tile and fixed a ton of imperfections in the walls and crown molding. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for great painters."

We are confident in the quality of our work, therefore offering warranty on every service provided to you, we guaranty the cleanliness on every step of our work from preparation of the work area to the final step, every day
"I contacted High Quality Painting LLC to repaint my fence after severely neglecting it for many years. Most of the paint was already stripped or peeling away, and had been for years, so there was significant damage to the wood as well. They were very confident about identifying the damaged boards and replacing them as well. When they got started, they found quite a few more damaged boards, and ultimately replaced more than what was quoted at no charge. They also recommended I get the fence stained instead of repainted, which is something I had not considered, and am very glad they pointed me in that direction because I think it will help prevent many of the problems I had in the future and be much easier to maintain. The workers were professional and willing to show up on incredibly hot days in between the rainy days to get the work done. I brought up another issue with the gate of the fence rubbing when opened, and that was also fixed at no charge which I appreciated."

"They were 1 of 3 quotes. We told them exactly what job we needed done. We dealt with Hector and Martha. They both reassured us that no problem they can get the job done. They quoted us (I have a contract) of $4,500. $3,500 is their labor 50 or and &1,000 would have been for materials. We were definitely going to go with better materials so we only really paid attention to their labor price of $3,500. They said the job would take 3 days and they told us they would start on a Monday. They postponed until Tuesday, they took a day off in the middle of the week for important business and they did not finish up until Sunday afternoon. My husband and I had been looking around every time they left and we were finding more and more things. Every day would bring it to their attention and she said they would fix. We did ask for two doors to be hung that was not on the original quote. At the end of everything she wanted $300 more than the original $3,500 quoted. I believe it was for the door hanging. I then proceeded to show her the hole in the arm of my brand new 2500 couch I showed her the paint that was all over the edge of my brand new carpet that was literally being installed the day they came to quote us I showed her there's no ventilation in the drop ceiling they never cut out vents the tracks in the ceilings do not meet the ceiling tiles do not fit light fixtures are falling the back door does not fit and they did not trim it out so we have gaps in our door and I believe the door frame is bent and useless the bathroom door does not shut due to it not fitting there is a cracked tile in the ceiling every piece of paneling has little holes or tears Nothing fits they painted the trim while on the walls so there's paint all over the paneling all over my floor the back door knob they have flipped upside down it does not lock will not work. There is broken trim they used my household vacuum to vacuum up their mess everyday where I had nails and screws coming out of the hoses ripping holes in my vacuum Some of the trim is not painted the same color as others They did not trim out the window There's not one job they were hired to do that was completely Done and done properly And all she told me the whole time was you owe me 300 I did the best I could or oh we don't do that you have to hire somebody else after they already tried doing the job and screwing it up. I'm sorry this was so much to message and the box was so small and I think this all came out thoroughly I really hope I didn't make a fool out of rambling. At the end I did pay the full $3,500 that was originally quoted even though I also had to replace paneling they broke for them just to turn around and reinstall it and break it again but they did get the full payment I did not renege on the contract. I forgot to add there were no holes or vents putting anything so I can't put outlet covers on I cannot put light switches on I can't do anything nothing is is ready"

FAQs for wallpaper removal projects in Chicago, IL
Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.
Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.
In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It’s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn’t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It’s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.
The average cost to remove wallpaper is around $3 per square foot, but the total depends on the type of wallpaper, how easy it is to remove, and the size of the room. Most homeowners spend around $780per room for wallpaper removal, and prices typically fall between $200 and $2,000. Wallpaper removal is expensive because it tends to be a very time-consuming job, and it can sometimes take a full day or more for the work to complete.
The easiest way to remove wallpaper is to use a steamer. The hot steam will loosen the wallpaper paste and make peeling the wallpaper off in large sheets much easier. Unfortunately, steamers can create irreparable damage on your walls, so it’s not a good idea for DIYers to use steamers to remove wallpaper. Instead, hire a professional wallpaper remover to do the work for you. This method will not only speed up the process, but it will also ensure your walls will remain intact post-wallpapering.
