"I hired Kevin to paint two interior bedrooms while I was away on an international vacation, and he did an amazing job! From the beginning he offered highly competitive prices and clear communication that made it easy to set a date and time to have the work completed. Kevin stayed in touch and was highly responsive throughout the whole project, which took a lot of weight off my chest. The work was done to a high quality standard. I will definitely be calling him again for my painting needs"

"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!!"

"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, the owner of GK Painting, did a fantastic job repainting and staining all of the exterior trim on my home in Hermosa Beach. He was the first Angie’s List contractor to call me back and met with me later that day to take a look at the job. His proposal was fair and fast, he started the work less than a week later and completed it ahead of schedule. The environment is **** ** wood trim by the beach and Gary and his super polite workers did an excellent job prepping the wood, first power washing it and then taking the time to sand it properly. It looks incredible and we are looking forward to it lasting because of the high quality products Gary used. Gary was friendly and easy to work with and his workers cleaned up inside and out when they were finished. Stellar job!"

"The painting done looks gorgeous and on can tell that the painting was professionally done. The final contract that was drawn up for me to sign had great detail and was accurate. The production manager included some extra things as painting the retaining wall in the back yard. The painters spoke courteously to me and my wife. The foreman spoke perfect English. One of the painters helped my wife go down the driveway with her walker down to her car that was parked on the street. The painters showed up on time and didn't make a lot of noise like loud talking or playing the radio loud during their lunch breaks. I was especially pleased with the workmanship. They put two coats of paint plus primer on all surfaces, and I am sure that the paint will look good beyond the five year warranty period. The company seemed to have a lot of integrity and will take care of anything that was inadvertently missed. They left at least half a can of paint of each color and some stucco for future touch up."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

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.

Your peel-and-stick wallpaper can fall off for multiple reasons, including high humidity levels, extreme temperature changes, poor installation, and even the wall surface. Textured walls can prevent the adhesive from fully sticking to the wall, making it more likely for the wallpaper to peel off. Low-quality wallpapers with weaker adhesives are also more likely to fall off prematurely.

Hanging wallpaper may seem simple, but in practice it requires significant planning and finesse to make it look professional. To start, you need to get an even application of wallpaper paste across all of your wallpaper, which requires experience and large pasting tables to get right. You also need to plan out your design and match it exactly so that you don’t have imperfections in the finished product. It’s often better to hire a professional wallpaper hanger who can get the job done properly for a clean, smooth finish.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

Both paint and wallpaper can work in a bathroom, provided you choose high-quality products in either category. Washable vinyl wallpapers can stand up to bathroom humidity without peeling, as can semi-gloss or gloss paint finishes. However, if you’re someone who likes to redecorate often, paint may make it easier to change colors or designs more quickly. If you want full humidity protection and cleanability, tile or stone works better.
