"Chris and Jessie arrived near the beginning of the 30 minute window they provided me.  They went to work immediately, had all of the needed materials and finished within an hour, leaving behind a clean work area.  They were courteous and professional.  The patched area looks great.

A plumber had removed a piece of drywall in order to replace some pipe and a shower valve.  While I thought the drywall piece he left behind would just need to be patched back in to the old spot, it turned out some smaller pieces had been cut out and were missing, so the job was a little more involved than I had anticipated. Despite having to fill some of those gaps, Chris did't charge any extra, staying true to the estimate he provided me over the phone.  

I was particularly impressed with Chris's interest in finding a way to perform the needed services at a low cost given the small scale of this job. Several of the other companies I spoke to wouldn't make any accommodations or budge from their minimum charges.  I would definitely use Level 5 Drywall in the future and will recommend to them to my family and friends."

"My husband and I are over the moon with the work Krugh Custom Services preformed at our house. We needed dry wall and painting done. Every employee showed up on time and proceeded professionally. They went above and beyond to ensure our house stayed clean while they were performing their work. After the work was finished Dave the owner called to ensure we were pleased with the work of his team. We will be needing the outside of our house painted in the next few month and we will for sure being hiring Krugh Custom Services for that job as well. Couldn't recommend this company enough!"

"I hired Palm Construction to remodel my kitchen and I can't say enough positive things about this company. Mike and his team were extremely professional, efficient, clean and well organized. Mike was very helpful, gave me great suggestions and informed me about everything important. I was out of town for a week but I knew exactly what was going on all the time. The project was finished on time and quality is as promised, at highest level. Thanks Mike on beautiful new kitchen, will recommend this great company to friends and neighbors!"

"Working with Danny was a great pleasure.  He and his team just completed a great job with the popcorn removal of my recently purchased 2066 square foot house.  Between his detailed, very easy to understand price estimates, his consistently helpful, professionally pleasant demeanor , true work ethic and pride that he takes in the results, finding him and his team has been a true blessing.  
The ceilings look great!!
The painter that is doing the walls (would have used Danny's team but they were already booked solid) commented on how "wow, this took twenty years off of the house" -- he had seen it with the popcorn initially.  This painter also does popcorn removal; and, was clearly impressed  with Danny and his team's work.  
I'm also amazed at how fast the work was done.  I'm on a tight move in schedule; and, Danny and his team completed the job in two days as promised.  They are extremely organized and clean too...no trace of popcorn or anything else after they were done.
Once again, I highly recommend Danny and his team and plan to get estimates from him for future remodeling projects we have in mind for our new home.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

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.
