"It was a big job, and the price was fair. They did a thorough job of prepping every area: moving furniture, protecting every surface with plastic or paper, well taped and sealed. They sprayed the ceilings and baseboards, and did the walls, doors and other trim with roller and brush. The men were all polite and friendly, and did good work. However, despite all the prep work, I've been finding splatters and spills in nearly every room--small and easy to clean up, but more than I would have expected. I also neglected to ask them to remove nails from the walls, so they painted over them all--though they cheerfully went back and touched up the spots I asked them to."

"Chris & his entire team were great to work with. His estimate was clear, the price competitive, and his team was ready to start right away. Over the course of a few days his team removed the popcorn from the ceilings, retextured and painted. They also removed some wallpaper for me. I am thrilled with the results and would recommend them highly to anyone who needs similar work done.

"I had a roof leak that resulted in a large amount of drywall removal, drying equipment and repairs. Krugh was amazing. They explained the process to me and gave me estimated dates that the work would be done by. The work was done in a professional manner with the guys leaving the space clean when they left for the day. I was very satisfied with the work that was done, plus it was very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend Krugh. I even had them come back to re-paint the entire interior of my house."

"This company was a pleasure to work with. They removed our old deck and installed a beautiful new deck. Omri and his crew were friendly, professional, timely, and incredible craftsmen. They provided useful advice and expertise; creating a much more usable deck. We are very satisfied and will highly recommend Palm Construction to all people I know!"

"The crew at Ceiling Specialist did an excellent job with my ceilings! I was under a deadline to have work done in my unit and they were expeditious in the removal of the acoustic ceiling, retexture, and painting. They used high quality materials for the work. The workers were extremely friendly and took great care with clean-up each day. I have 2 floors and vaulted ceilings which can pose quite a challenge, but the work was consistently top notch through the entire unit. In all honesty, I just couldn't live with the popcorn ceiling in my unit. It looked so bad (even worse on vaulted ceilings), I don't know how others in my complex have managed, but I will be recommending Ceiling Specialists to them as well."

"The owner performed the work and was hard at it for several hours. He did a very thorough job and it came out as expected. (Some of the stains on concrete areas were not removed but he told me this would be the case before he quoted the job, so no surprises.)
I thought he was the hardest working contractor I have had at my house !

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.

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.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

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.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.
