"Very professional. We needed only fascia and eves painted between old roof removal and new roof install. Accommodated our schedule. Have already booked them for next year's full exterior and interior patch and paint after remodel is complete."

"We had a wonderful experience using J.A. Wallcovering to install peel and stick wallpaper for our nursery. They scheduled us within a week of us reaching out, were professional, and completed the job very quickly. We had an issue installing peel and stick wallpaper after someone else we originally hired could not complete the job."

"We hired Paint-Tech Restoration to patch and paint the exterior of our house and garage, neither of which had received any TLC for decades before we bought it. We had large areas of peeling paint that had to be scraped, and chipped stucco that needed patching. Julian Ruiz and his team did the job admirably. They were punctual, courteous and professional, responsive to requests and attentive to detail. We knew we were being picky with some of the smaller repair work, but Julian indulged us with a smile. When rain held up the project for a day, they worked all weekend to catch up and finish the job. We can't recommend them highly enough."

"This project could not have gone any smoother.  I contacted three highly rated painting contractors from Angie's List.  Three Star Painting was the last contractor I called but Marty was the first one to respond. He has extensive knowledgeable of Dunn Edwards products and assisted me in selecting final colors. His proposal was inline with the others and his estimated project duration of four days was precise.  A two-man crew arrived at 8:00 am each day and worked until 5:30 pm.  The craftsmanship and attention-to-detail stood out for the entire project. Everything was masked off and properly prepped before final coats were applied.
Extraordinary cleanup at the end of day four and all planters and furniture were returned to original locations. Great job guys! - Thanks

"Outstanding, professional, and timely work done by Reynaldo Perez and his team. Easy communication throughout the project, and excellent expert recommendations by Reynaldo. He accommodated a special request for Lime Wash painting of the bedroom, which turned out fantastic. He is not satisfied with the job until you are satisfied with the job. Wonderful experience with his team, and I am loving how my home looks after his work. Strongly recommend to anyone!!"

"Working with ?All About Paint? to have the exterior of our home painted was a great experience. They returned phone calls immediately, gave us a very competitive quote, provided references and even helped to choose the perfect color combination. Once the work commenced, they removed the gutters, pressure washed the whole house, made repairs to the stucco in various areas, painted all exterior, wood trim, patio cover, front doors, side doors, and metal garage doors. They even went as far as removing the exterior light fixtures, and re-installing them when the work was complete. It took them a complete week to do the job. They were on-time every morning and were meticulous about masking everything, and not getting over-spray or spilling paint on anything. The house looks great, and I will definitely use them again. My neighbor was so impressed with their work, that he hired ?All About Paint? to paint his house the following week.

"Contractor Tony met with me and my husband to originally meet about bathroom remodel and outdoor painting, as my home is over 50 yrs old and needed the update.  We discussed our options, Tony came up with some great ideas and let us know what could be done, and what would require more extensive work.  He measured our bathroom, and asked if we wanted to extend it as we had an extra two feet in our hallway from an old hallway heater removed.  The bathroom was very cramped, and ready for a new look.  Once he gave me the quote on the bathroom, I started to add a few more estimates to my original budged plan.  Tony's price was very reasonable.  He is a very honest man, and told me up front that his company does not do "rush jobs", because quality is important, and oftentimes rushed work has to be replaced.  Sounded like a good plan to me.  We were in touch via text for most of the time and by phone, keeping him apprised about any changes (I'm sure I was bothersome at times with my idea changes), but  we gave him our creative ideas for the bathroom, and he discussed what would work, and not work.  He stated the work would take about 6 weeks. We asked if he could remove the toilet at the end of the project (no extra bathroom), and his crew moved it the few feet we needed, and installed the new when all was done!  
Tony's workmen came in and were professional and cleaned up after themselves after each day of work, showing up on time everyday.  His foreman Marco, made sure to communicate with his his crew (they do speak Spanish) to make sure things were on schedule (we used Google translate too).  His painters were very meticulous with their painting, each room spackled, smoothly sanded, and painted with care.  We bought our paint through Tony's vendors (at a discount) for outdoors.  We also took care of all the other items like sinks, faucets, lights, tile, shower doors etc.  His crew was trustworthy, worked on Saturdays to get the job finished earlier.  We are all aware of the stress remodeling can have on families.
We will definitely use him again, and would recommend OM Construction highly to anyone needing professional work done, at a price well worth it.  Thanks, Tony (and your crew)!!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

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.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

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.
