"Jay Furlong and his team did a fantastic job from start to finish. Jay does all the initial work of estimation, brainstorming color choices and explaining the process. He was very patient as I had some specific colors in mind and iterated some sample paints and swatches until I was satisfied. He even drove by a few houses when I provided a list of homes as an "example". His team/crew were pleasant, 100% on time, very careful about the plants and surroundings and diligent in their attention to detail. We have zero complaints and would hire Jay and team again if need arose."

"I spent $190 on that work. They were efficient in terms of the e-mails and estimate. The price was reasonable and the quality was of the workmanship was good. The customer service guy was very pleasant when he came to do the site inspection prior to giving the estimate. He answered all my questions during the walk through and provided good customer service. The work was performed to my satisfaction and I probably will use them again. In terms of the work was the price was excellent."

"Very well. It was the interior of one of my mother's rentals. Tim was very organized, focused and professional. He comes in with an action and gets everything done in a timely manner. Emil and Tim are both problem solvers, hard working and polite. I would recommend them for any project big or small."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you’re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It’s usually a better idea to hire a professional wallpaper installer to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.

No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.

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.

Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it’s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You’ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.

Putting up new wallpaper tends to take one to two days, depending on the size of the area, whether old paper needs to be removed, and if there is any damage to walls that needs to be smoothed over or fixed.
