"Bill and his team did a FANTASTIC job painting our new home that was in need of some bright new paint.  The walls were in pretty awful shape with lots of dings, drywall issues, some walls needing wall paper removal not to mention the crown molding either needing to be replaced or smoothed out.  Bill came for an estimate right away when I contacted him (accommodating after work hours) and spent a lot of time with me discussing how he'd do the job and explaining different aspects of painting to me. I had a lot of questions and he was patient and so informative.  He also happily came back out to the house to answer follow up questions before he started the job.
He arrived with his crew on time right when he said he'd start the job and they finished on time in 4 days. I couldn't believe the amount of prep work they did to get the walls in good shape to paint and in the end, it looks amazing. Everyone compliments me on what a great job they did and how good the house looks now- it's amazing what paint can do!
Bill is so knowledgeable and is always happy to answer your questions.   He also will let you proceed as you planned without complaint (I really wanted to use BM colors vs. color matching to Behr paint) and go the extra mile to make sure you are happy with the job in the end.  He even spaced out painting the bedrooms so I'd have somewhere to sleep each night!
The tape job they did to make sure none of our stuff was damaged was impressive and they cleaned up so well. His crew is friendly, professional, and I had no problem letting them come into the house each day while we were at work to do the job.
We will have them back to do some other paints jobs we have planned, but we so happy we found Bill and his team!

"I called several painting companies to get estimates. I appreciated Walt getting back to me. Not everyone returned my call. Walt offered a very good price and was very helpful when it came to picking out paint colors. He replaced some rotting wood, removed dated exterior wood features, and painted the house exterior and attached pergola. Walt was prompt, professional, and easy to work with. I hope to use him on future projects. Highly recommend."

"I am overall unhappy with the final job. Lots of touch up left for me. I just am Not a fan of Spray jobs. I have lots of leaves painted that when touched reveal unpainted surface. My T-1-11 groves all need to be hit with a brush... I have to repaint lots of nail holes inside and out. Lots of scrubing the wood floors and cabinets to remove overspray. I asked and showed the primer and paint to them for the bid but the primer step was skipped and that made the paint not go as far or cover as well. Too late after. The customer should be listened to. Not told the paint has primer."

"During the process of removing the acoustic ceiling they took down all the ceiling fixtures. When they put them back they were in the wrong place. A ceiling fan was not reinstalled at all and a bathroom fixture put in its place with no fixture now in the bathroom. this should have been a clue that something was wrong. I contacted the provider but failed to get a call back. Now I have to hire an electrician to complete the job correctly.

"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

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.
