"⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of working with the mother-daughter wallpapering team at Marie’s WallPaper, for two challenging bathroom installs, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. They provided everything they needed to hang my wallpaper, tackling both jobs seamlessly and completing everything in a timely manner, which was impressive given the complexity of the projects. Who really wants to wallpaper? Not me! But thanks to their expertise, my bathroom remodel dreams have come true. They approached each task with enthusiasm and skill, proving that no job is too small or too big for this dynamic duo. They truly are a power team! I can't wait for my next project with them and would highly recommend Marie’s WallPaper to anyone looking for quality and reliability in wallpapering. Thank you, Marie and Sarah for transforming my spaces!"

"The painters were here on schedule every day. They covered everything to avoid getting paint where it wasn't supposed to be. They removed pictures from the walls and moved furniture out of the way, and put everything back in its place when done. Their painting was meticulous and the finished work is beautiful. The price was reasonable and we would definitely hire them again."

"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."

"Our daughter's bedroom has 2 exterior walls that we had additional insulation added.  The method that was used was a 2" hole was drilled and insulation blown in.  The holes needed to be patched and the walls repainted (as well as the dings and nail holes that are 'standard' with any room).  We also removed the wire shelving from the closet which left a ton of 1cm holes.   Respect Painting was prompt at returning my phone call to set up an estimate as well as showing up to look what needed to be done.  It was estimated as a one day job and the price was very reasonable.  They showed up at the agreed 7:30 and the 2 man crew finished around 2:30 in the afternoon.   The room looks amazing!   Working with Wayne and his crew from Respect Painting was the easy part - putting the room back together to a 7-year old's tastes is the hard part!
We'll definitely work with Wayne and his crew on future projects."

"A++++++ All I can say is WOW, Exceptional work and service. I cannot say enough good things about Gary & his crew. 
I sent an inquiry on Angie's list to GK Painting for exterior paint & Gary called back within 10 mins and scheduled a time to come out immediately. While he was at my home, we walked around the house & went over all the details of my home that needed to be painted, wire & old vent holes that needed to be closed up, stucco repair from our trim removal & what needed to be sanded on our eaves and fascia boards, etc. Our fascia boards really needed a lot of attention & sanding, especially since I was changing the color from dark to light, not to mention that the eaves on our home are closely related to that of a cabin chalet - they are huge and therefore very noticeable. The fascia/eaves were originally a dark chocolate brown that covered up a lot of flaws, but I wanted them to be primed and painted over white. White will always show wood details (including problems), so the prep work that needed to go in was going to be a lot of work. However, Gary was more than willing & prepared to do the work. In addition, he asked about my badly damage gates on each side of my home and about our front balcony railing that had wood rot & was not up to code (the rails were too far apart). He said that he could build us two new gates and re-do our entire balcony railing. The gates and railing were very high on our priority list of home repairs, especially because we have a pool in the back & not up to code, so it was necessary for safety purposes. I didn't think my budget could afford the work at this time and figured it was too expensive but he gave us not only a favorable quote but it really was an exceptional one!! It was an answer to prayer. So we decided to move forward with GK Painting. He even gave us some referrals of other gate work he had done so we could see the work in advance.
Gary and his crew showed up every day, very early and on time. They worked very hard and practically non-stop all day long. They kept their work areas clean as they worked and also before they left each day. They even cleaned up the side of the house and trimmed a few overgrown plants to make sure the house was ready to paint. Gary and his crew were very professional, very polite and friendly. He worked with me on the paint colors. I was so indecisive with the colors but he was completely patient with me the whole time. He didn't have a problem with letting see some samples on the wall before I decided. 
Also, I had removed the stone trim around the house and it needed to be re-stuccoed before they painted and they did an awesome job! Very professional. In fact, down the line, we were having some problems with our window guys around the same time and thankfully Gary caught it in time before final payment was made and was able to help us get them to fix up their problems and make sure they did their job right. In the end, we resolved between all parties to allocate some of the window money to pay GK Painting to fix up the problem, as the window guys said they were not trained to repair the stucco they damaged. The work around the windows looks great!
I have to say that GK Painting went ABOVE & BEYOND! One thing that I noticed about Gary was his attention to detail. He really has an eye for detail and a strong work ethic. I noticed it all throughout the job. Plus he always knew where things needed to be re-touched, re-caulked, etc. I never had to ask them to be careful or make sure they did this or that. In fact, he did quite a few extras that not only showed he cared but reflected that he's not interested in cutting corners to make sure the job was done right. He put in the extra work on painting our back wall that normally wouldn't be included, he painted my front door and side door that he really did not have to do. The real above and beyond work was put into our eaves and fascia boards & caulking. On his final day, he even hung my brand new mail box for free. 
Overall, I felt as though Gary worked on my home as if it were his own. Everything looks great! The railing work & gates are awesome & our eaves and fascia boards are a showpiece. We consider Gary a friend, as we got a chance to get to know him a little on the job. He even brought us some food from his mom's restaurant. We are very pleased. You can be sure we'll be calling Gary back to do some remaining work on our home in the near future, including a pony wall, a pergola and interior painting of our open beam ceilings. My husband & I have nothing but good things to say. Give GK Painting a call and see what they can do. 
THANKS AGAIN, GK PAINTING!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

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.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

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.
