"Frank did an excellent job installing the wallpaper in our nursery! He had to re-finish the wall smooth first to give the best visual appearance for the wallpaper. He was very responsive in discussing and scheduling the job, and very open and helpful in reviewing project scope and options. He looked for the best solution for our job. His install was great, looks amazing, and he also put in extra effort to work around a fuse box in the wall. Great work and experience, highly recommended!"

"I was recommended to Fine Point Painting by my parents. In the past my parents had bad luck with contractors who gave meaning to the term, Jack of All Trades Master at None. I grew up doubting contractors but Bill and his crew were fantastic. When he came out to do the bid he answered all of my questions and was thorough on explaining to me the reasons. When I had additional questions/concerns he was quick to reply via email.
The house we purchased to put it nicely, was in bad shape. Previously, it was a rental which I'm sure you can imagine the state
it was in. It also had termite damage in which Bill advised me to have the paint job done after the fumigation tenting. Apparently,
fumigation causes fresh paint to peel!!! Thank goodness we painted after the tenting.
We had the whole works done on the interior. The acoustic popcorn on the ceiling was removed, sanded, textured, primed, and
painted throughout the house. Also, the trim, doors and cabinets had oil based paint which needed to be sanded and primed in order for the latex paint to stick. The walls were sanded as well to remove embedded hair follicles and pebbles that were painted in the walls from the previous painter. Most of the interior of the house and entire garage smelled of animal urine and they pressure washed the garage with a cleaning solution to eliminate the smell. There were numerous cracks on the walls and ceilings which they filled. There were also 8 giant holes in the walls that they patched. They did an amazing job on the patchwork since you can't tell they were there!!! His crew was professional, courteous and they came on time. Also, they cleaned up after themselves very well. And this is coming from someone who is borderline OCD.
There were no hidden fees or added fees tacked on at the end. What made it easier for us was a payment plan which was broken down into 3 payment installations. This meant we paid them after each chunk of work was completed. I have heard stories where people have paid contractors upfront and the contractors run away with money or they don't finish the project.
If Angie's List had +'s and -'s I would give them A+'s. There are no words to express how pleased we are with Fine Point Painting. Our house looks amazing, the garage has no smell and I will hire them again for future projects.

"First, a big thank you to the folks who submitted reviews for Walt on Angie's List.  You made my decision to work with him very easy.
It had been a long time since my house was last painted, and the hot summer really took its toll on it.  I had large cracks in the stucco in several places, and lots of peeling paint.  Walt took a good look around and explained exactly how he would approach the project.  He also brought a paint brochure from Kelly Moore to help me choose colors (good thing, because I was almost clueless!).  He made suggestions for where we should use contrasting paint colors, to emphasize some of the house's architecture.
He powerwashed the house and sanded in spots.  He repaired all of the stucco.  As mentioned in other reviews, he told me what he would be tackling every day.  He showed up every cold morning and got right to it.   I'm very pleased with the result, think it's going to last a good long time.
Walt's obviously very passionate about what he does.  I like that he does all the work himself, and that he's a second generation painter.  I found him to be very professional and was completely comfortable with him working on my home.
We're already talking about the next project!

"Guys did a great job as promised.  Took advantage of a $999 special; an additional $300 for extra exterior door painting.  Approximately $1000 in paint necessary but we chose top quality paint in lieu of having Better Choice select paint.  House was power washed and some trim replaced prior to painting.  Some delays due to the high temperatures we experienced that pushed out the job a couple of times.

"Juan is one of the most detailed-oriented painters I’ve had the pleasure to work with. His prep work is meticulous, which includes removing all hardware to ensure a seamless finish. He’s pro-active and hard-working as he moved many things just to help us out. He’s also extremely patient as we often changed our minds on color choices, and he is super responsive with texts and phone calls, which is a rarity these days. Juan wasn’t the cheapest choice, but he certainly was worth the money!"

"Nathan was assigned to be the project manager and from our first meeting we knew he'd do an awesome job making sure our home remodel went smoothly. During our initial consultation he was super informative and honest about the process. He gave us a detailed shopping list right away of all of the things (materials, appliances, etc.) we'd need to purchase so that we could get things as soon as possible to keep the project moving in a timely manner. At first we'd only decided to remove a wall and remodel the kitchen, thinking we'd do the bathrooms at a later date, but after talking through it we learned they'd be able to do the bathrooms at the same time as the kitchen and in the long run I'm so glad they were able to do this. (We hadn't yet moved into the house and we got most of the remodeling out of the way before we moved.) Nathan was always available when we had questions and provided honest feedback on decisions we were making. He also was regularly updating us on project timelines and gave detailed accounts of what would happen and when so that we knew what to expect and when to expect it by. I honestly don't know how we would have gotten through the whole process without him. 
From the foreman to the tile guy to the guys who were in our home on a daily basis, every one of them was professional and friendly. They answered all of my questions, communicated effectively with us to make sure we were all on the same page before moving forward and went extra mile to make sure things were done in a way that made it easy for our family to move in to the home mid-construction. Everyone who worked in the house was highly skilled and knowledgeable and were able to provide us with answers and feedback throughout the process. I really can't say enough about how hard everyone worked to make everything come together, sometimes working long hours to make sure things were ready for inspection or when there were a couple of unforeseen circumstances, doing their best to keep things moving. 
In the beginning we weren't even sure about hiring a contractor to do the remodeling to our first home, thinking it would be too overwhelming to do all at once. Looking back, we're so glad we went with Goodfellas and honestly couldn't be more in love with how everything turned out. High quality work, great customer service, from top to bottom a solid experience.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

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.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.
