"Frank did a fantastic job wallpapering & painting my front entryway and staircase. The space has tricky walls, with odd shapes and dimensions, but Frank was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the process, from helping me figure out how many rolls of wallpaper to order, to laying out the wallpaper so that every weird angle appeared to join up seamlessly. He was professional throughout the process and easy to work with. Would recommend!"
"He's awesome and his prices are good. He pays attention to detail and did some real meticulous work. He was accommodating on helping me pick out colors. He doesn't usually do crown molding but he did it for me so I didn't have to hire anyone else."
"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. "
"Benny and his team did outstanding work on our home. It was really outdated inside and they made it look modern and clean. They knocked down some horribly textured walls and then painted and also painted our kitchen and cabinets. It was not an easy job and they were super quick and diligent in making sure every detail was perfect. They have a very hard working team and they went the extra mile including hauling away some refuse that wasn’t even part of the job- really kind folks who care about their quality of work. 10/10 would recommend! We will continue working with them as other projects pop up. Look no further! Thank you Benny and team!"
"William did an excellent quality job, he built a custom gate to go in a difficult space, and a custom dog door in a unique location, and a list of other things, all in less than a day. He suggested painting around the dog door and french door frame, looks better now then when we bought the house. We are definitely planning to have him out again and compiling a list of things!"
A-1 Painting did a fabulous job! The contractor was easy to communicate with via email. When we got bids for the exterior painting of our house, he was the lowest price of all three. He was able to complete the work soon after I had an estimate from him. I would definitely use him again! A-1 painting was recommended to me from a friend, and now I am recommending him for anyone's exterior painting! You will NOT be disappointed!
"Excellent!!! Christopher Rubio was very responsive and kept me abreast of time of arrival throughout the day. He had a project in the morning and was coming to perform work for my mom later in the day. I was coming from an hour away so trying to coordinate time. He was very punctual and ended up waiting for me to arrive since I was delayed in traffic. Install went very well. We ran into a snag with one of the shower bars because the second stud could not be clearly identified, so Christopher immediately located a hardware store nearby and purchased tile anchors to secure bar into wall. He wanted to ensure that the bars installed were safe for my mom as if he were installing them for his mom or grandmother. He left the area clean and performed the job well. He made an elderly woman (my mom) very happy and I have piece of mind that my mom is safe having grab bars in her shower area. Thanks Christopher! I highly recommend Christopher to anyone whom is seeking a handyman. (He does painting, plumbing, electrical, TV Mounting, baby proofing and misc repairs as well)."

Many types of wallpaper exist, from removable peel-and-stick options to more permanent options that involve pasting. You can also find wallpaper that you can paint over, wallpaper with a texture, and wallpaper made from various materials, such as vinyl. Some types of wallpaper are washable, which can be a great option for kitchens or if your household has small children.
Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.
Both paint and wallpaper can work in a bathroom, provided you choose high-quality products in either category. Washable vinyl wallpapers can stand up to bathroom humidity without peeling, as can semi-gloss or gloss paint finishes. However, if you’re someone who likes to redecorate often, paint may make it easier to change colors or designs more quickly. If you want full humidity protection and cleanability, tile or stone works better.
You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.
Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.
