"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."

"3 Star Painting was super.  I needed the wood portions of my father's home painted in advance of anticipated El Nino weather in the Southern California region.  Marty walked the property with me and identified precisely what needed to be done.  He didn't attempt to upsell me.  He gave me a fast and very fair quote.  He and his team showed up on time, finished the work on schedule and was responsive throughout the entire process.  I will use him again in the future and am happy to recommend him.

"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)!!"

"The crew of three worked about five days all told. Arrived early  and on time, worked steadily and quietly all five days. Took careful pains to keep the site clean and after finishing, even vacuumed the soil and plantings to remove chips and dust. The job was finished on time and with no noise or racket, even though a masonry wall was being demolished. The whole crew was cheerful and polite throughout.
It could not have been done better, and the results were exactly as described in the detailed contract. Hard to imagine a better job. the only possible criticism was that Thomas is a little pricey, but everything was done according to the contracts and on time."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, 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.

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.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.
