I highly recommend Jim for his meticulous artisanry and attention to detail at a reasonable price. Very professional -- prompt response, streamlined process of managing contract, reviewed wallpaper online before I ordered it and made recommendations on roll quantity, little wait time to begin project, just one day between wall prep and paper hanging, arrived on time.

Wallcovering or Wallpaper Removal
We asked Jim to remove the old wallpaper that had been in the kitchen and bathroom since the house was built. He did the job and repainted the walls covering all the marks and imperfections that remained. He is a true professional and made the whole process a pleasure.

Very communicative about the entire process! He made the ordering of the wallpaper and the work day very easy. Told me how many rolls to order which was exact! Arrived on time. Very courteous to other workers in the house and willing to work around them. Used a laser to ensure paper was straight. Everything was immaculate when he left. The wallpaper is beautiful! Really a great job! I would hire him with confidence!

SIMPLY THE BEST! I NEED JAMES TO REMOVE AND HANG REPLACRMENT WALL PAPER WHERE IT HAD HOLES AND BEEN DAMAGED BY MULTIPLE TV WALL BRACKETS AND HOLES FROM CREATIVE TV INSTALLATIONS. I HAD SAVED PAPEDR FROM WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY HUNG MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO AND WAS LUCKY THAT DISCOLORATION WAS NOT AN ISSUE. JAMES WAS ABLE TO REPLACE A SMALLER AREA THAN I HAD EXPECTED BY NOT NEEDING TO RELY ON THE EXISTING SEAMS. HE REPLACED PARTIAL SHEETS AND THERE IS NO WAY KNOW WHERE THE REPAIR HAS BEEN DONE! IT IS PERFECT!

James bailed us out and provided expert service. We had multiple contractors cancel on us last minute, but James was understanding of the challenges our space came with. He installed our custom wallpaper in one day, and stayed a bit longer than planned to also apply a layer of sealant to protect the wallpaper. We will definitely be having James back if we have any further wallpaper needs and highly recommend him to anyone else who needs this service.

He called back right away and communicated as necessary. He used his time efficiently in setting up his equipment and job prep. He is truly an expert in hanging wallpaper. He did a great job of matching the paper using a laser. I would also add that he does not skimp on any of the proper wallpaper hanging steps like wall prep. Also, he completely cleaned up after himself.

We hired Jim for a wallpaper hang and he did a fantastic job. Our paper was a bit unique... hand made, delicate, etc... but Jim knew exactly what he was doing and we didn't have to worry at all. He's super professional and very knowledgeable about his craft. We highly recommend Elite Paperhanging and hope to use him again in the future.

After interviewing several wallpaper specialists, James seemed to really know his business. So we hired him and he did a fantastic job. He came to install on a round, difficult wall along our staircase. But he did a wonderful job. We recommended him immediately to our neighbor. They also appreciate his professionalism. He is a very nice man. We highly recommend him.

Jim is a true professional. Clean, well organized, efficient, showed up on time and he completed the job when he said he would for the price he quoted. If you are looking for a craftsman who will delivers high quality workmanship without cutting corners, hire James Reppert.

We had a mural installed in our new baby nursery. The mural looks beautiful and Jim did an impeccable job. The next evening we were going to give our 18 month old son a bath in the upstairs bathroom and noticed that the bottom of the bathtub was covered in a brown, gummy dried film, with what looked like glue residue peeling from the bottom. The baby's washcloth and toys were covered in this film. So we were unable to use the tub. The next day we called Jim and asked if he had cleaned anything in the tub and he said he had. He also said the tools he cleaned weren't toxic but how do we know for sure when it comes to our baby's health and swallowing this substance. We simply said you should clean tools etc outside. We will have to throw away those toys, bath non-slip matt and washcloth because our son likes to put them in his mouth and can't risk it. Jim didn't think this was a big deal but clearly the solvent didn't get drained and didn't say he'd come back to clean it so we'll have to do it. So we have mixed feelings in this review, wonderful wallpaper install but we should not have to bear this burden of cleanup after a professional has done this work in our home. If we had been asked we would have recommended cleaning the equipment outside. Update: Jim contacted us to remedy the situation. He sent us information regarding the safety of the chemicals used and offered to clean our tub area. We appreciate his offer and reassurance.
