"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!"
"James is a quick, efficient, meticulous professional and a wallpaper mastermind. He installed wallpaper in multiple rooms for me, and I could not be more pleased with his work! He is responsive and timely and went above and beyond to craft a wallpaper solution for me when I accidentally didn t order enough wallpaper. Everything looks incredible and you would never guess that I had messed up the order!"
"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.
"Javier and his crew painted our interior about a year ago and we welcomed him back to do the exterior found some dryrot and replaced the wood house looks great Thanks AOL PAINTING"
"This artist listened to me carefully and created an artist concept for approval. It was perfect. But she made it even better with the incredible attention to detail, color application and skilled artistry. It is an amazing piece or art that was designed precisely for my home. People are just amazed when they see it!"
"Quite satisfied with the exterior house painting done by licensed and insured Cristoff Painting and Decorating. Owner on time, gave estimate on the spot. I interviewed all of his references, all praised him and his crew. He and crew courteous, tidy, punctual and fulfilled every task as detailed in contract. I would hire Cristoff Painting again without hesitation."
"The power wash and clean-up were both very perfunctory. Many garden plants are speckled with paint. That said, the price was very reasonable and the house has been painted. Considering the hasty prep that was done, I only hope the paint job lasts a few years. "
"I am very pleased with MDL Painting. Marvin and his crew did an AMAZING job on my interior that I asked what he would charge on my exterior. Both bids are very reasonable and the quality of work is outstanding! I have since recommended him to friends and seen more of his great work."
"We were very pleased with their service and the quality of the paint job. It still looks great. We plan on using them again the next time our house needs painting. "
To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you’re covering and divide that by the square footage that each roll covers. Add 10% to 20% of your total square footage to account for pattern matching or damage while installing.
Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
It’s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you’re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It’s usually a better idea to hire a professional wallpaper installer to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.
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.
If you prefer peel-and-stick to traditional wallpaper, you can skip the priming process. Many manufacturers don't require an additional primer if you’re installing peel-and-stick wallpaper to painted walls. However, if you’re applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to unfinished drywall, you’ll need to apply a primer first.
