"Extremely professional and high quality work. Beginning with the review of work scope and comprehensive proposal through the execution and wrap up — good communication, documentation and most importantly excellence in quality at every phase of work.

"If there was a zero rating this would be it. I don't like reviewing companies in general but I cannot in good conscious let this go un-noticed to anyone that would like to have their home painted or stained. This company is terrible for so many reasons it's hard to tabulate. I hired Alex and Viv to paint my home and stain my decks. What started as a reasonable quote became the worst case of scope creep I've encountered ever. The entire job went from 12,500 to 22,000 (paint included) - All of which has been paid to date. Throughout most of the project, Alex and Viv were non-existent site/project managers and only showed up when they wanted to be paid. If there were issues (most of the time) - Alex and Viv would play good cop/bad cop with Viv playing the part of bad cop/bulldog while attempting to address consistent issues she would always having some excuse as to why something was wrong with the work and it would cost extra to fix the issues. Her demeanor toward me/homeowner/customer was terrible and frankly abusive. From day one it was a fiasco. I left to go on my regular walk/hike early in the morning and came home to find Alex's crew (Jose and Julio) had arrived, unloaded, and should have been setting up to start power washing - but NO - I come home to find Jose standing on top of the work van power washing the work truck in my driveway. I had a beautifully stained front door/entrance to my home that was aging and needed a lift - they stripped the door and re-stained it - the results were abominable - it's in describable how bad it turned out. I asked Alex to strip the door again and he wanted to charge for the extra work. They did stripe the door, but I elected to not have them re-stain because frankly these two clowns have no idea how to apply stain and Alex and Viv actually pressed that the door looked terrific! Needless to say the decks turned out the same and they stained the decks the wrong color! The crew were consistently taking days off from the job, worked slow, and took long lunch (sometimes longer than an hour), and played loud music throughout the day without even checking to see if it was okay. For the work and some of the issues : They over sprayed onto light fixtures, sliding screen doors, didn't actually paint/stain what was agreed upon, and now the paint on the house is bubbling in areas. I have contacted Alex on a number of occasions only to be scuttled with him mentioning excuse after excuse he has something else to do and will get back to me. In our last contact and what is likely a need for some kind of income, he expects to be paid cash to fix the things that remain damaged or that have issues AND wants to be paid cash upfront before any work starts. In the end, Alex and Viv are operating a sham business, using cash paid unbonded/uninsured labor that is not qualified to perform paint/stain work. Unprofessionalism doesn't even come close to describing their attitudes and work. Here's a short list of the issues for easy reference : 1) Power washing work van in the driveway 2) Do NOT know how to paint/stain 3) PAINT is BUBBLING in areas - wants to be paid CASH UPFRONT to fix it and is attempting to reduce his repair work with an unacceptable solution 4) Created DAMAGE on the house and expects to be paid for the repair work (sliding screens damaged, light fixtures were stained) 5) Parts of the job were NOT COMPLETED 6) Deck prep was TERRIBLE - hence just one aspect of ISSUES with the application results 7) WRONG stain color 8) Rolled stain or sprayed it with a sprayer (a huge NO-NO) and did not go back over the applied stain with rags to properly apply the stain as was agreed upon 9) DAMAGED deck post (ALEX actually did the DAMAGE - it's almost as if he did it on purpose because when he noticed the damage he continued doing more DAMAGE!!) 10) RUDE and UNACCEPTABLE TREATMENT of a client 11) Will NOT repair damage 12) UNBONDED/UNINSURED cash paid workers 13) EXPECTS to be PAID CASH UPFRONT for the repairs Alex and his crew created Net net, these guys should not be running a paint/stain business and should be SHUT DOWN immediately. I have asked repeatedly for an acceptable resolution and have been put out and blown off. If you would like to pay a couple lazy scam artists to make your home look worse than it was before they started - you should contact Alex and Viv Sharp at A&V Painting contract lic #802201. How this guy actually has a license from the State of California is unbelievable. I would suggest to NOT call these guys for anything let alone what they profess as their business. A note with regard to these other so called 5 start ratings - Alex and Viv had to have paid for these ratings. With my experience, It's impossible to fathom actually and certainly not beneath them to do."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

When comparing peel-and-stick wallpaper and traditional wallpaper, each has its own pros and cons—the one that’s better for you depends on your needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to install, while traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and can be used in a wider variety of spaces.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you’d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.

Costs depend on wallpaper type, wall condition, labor, and necessary repairs.
