"The crew and owner showed up on the scheduled Monday and we went over the details for the exterior painting or our house. Then the house was power washed and trenches were dug and patching of the stucco completed. It was a cool day, so they worked till noon then left to let the patching dry. Tuesday the crew showed up on time again, sanded and began the painting of the stucco. There was a discrepancy on the type of paint for the job, so we contacted Marty (the owner) and he took back the paint and got the better paint recommended by the paint store for out west-facing house. Wed and Thurs...sanding and painting trim. Friday, I went over our "punch list" with Marty and the crew and they finished up the out-buildings, patio cover, large sliding door, touch up spots and our front door...which needed four coats of paint. The crew left at noon after cleaning and sweeping and Marty came in the afternoon (per our request) to go over the job and receive payment. Excellent job! We have already handed out all the business cards to neighbors who stopped by to admire the work!

"We hired Be Green Builders to remodel the kitchen. The work was handled by Nir and his team of people. Nir is an awesome contractor that know what he is doing. He took the existing kitchen and converted the space into a much larger space by removing 2 walls. The work took close to 2 months and we are extremely happy with everything they did for us. we strongly recommend Nir and Be Green Builders to anyone."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

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.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

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.
