"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.

"Gary from GK painting was a pleasure to work with, timely, efficient, nice product and true and accurate with their quote.  I have a two-story home, and they painted the first floor ceiling, and repaired lots of holes we made from adding in reset lights.  I had a small bathroom that was painted ametallic bronze from the previous owner. Gary covered over the tough metallicpaint, and gave me a beautiful light aqua bathroom.  It looks great!I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a great paint job."

"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 questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.
