"Steve and his team are real pros. They were on time every time. They quoted the job quickly and fairly. They were able to start the following week. Everyone who came to my house was friendly. They spent a good amount of time protecting the floors and furniture. Mostly importantly, the end result was just beautiful. My house was built in the 20's so not many lines are straight or plumb which makes things a little more challenging. I highly recommend Berger Painting and will definitely hire them again next time."

"It's hard to schedule a wallpaper installer; contractors are booked and very expensive. Smallen Brothers is busy; but, they were able to carve time out for my job. Installers were nice, too. My wallpapered walls look beautiful! I would highly recommend!"

"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!!"

"The entire process from quote to project completion went smoothly. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional , L.A Expert Builders remodeled my master bedroom and it's now my favorite room in my home. I recieved a fast and reasonable quote, in home consultation and project start and end date. The project was completed within 2 weeks by on time contractor and staff. Communication was always open and the company was proavtive . I'd highly recommend this company for remodels , upgrades and any home based projects."

"After receiving a few sub-par estimates from other painters -- and with time running out -- I reached out to Gary and asked him if he could a) start our job the following week and b) finish in 7-10 days. While his estimate was a bit higher than the others, he assured me that the work and finished product would more than justify the cost. He and his professional crew delivered on both fronts, which was remarkable. Throughout the process, Gary was incredibly responsive via phone and text, and he also provided some valuable advice on our final paint colors. Our 18-year old house now looks brand new, and elicits "oohs and aahs" from onlookers near and far. The entire experience exceeded my (high) expectations, and I cannot recommend Gary and GK Painting enough. A+++"

"Foothill Painting painted my kitchen and family room and did an excellent job.  I had pulled off the old wallpaper and the wall surfaces were very rough and in bad shape.  At the completion of the job, the walls looked brand new.  They also painted the ceiling where the location of the old cabinets was clearly visible.  When they finished, all those marks where the old cabinets had been hung were gone.  They were courteous, came on time, and cleaned up thoroughly.  Kevin was in charge of the job. 
Foothill has also painted the exterior of our house twice during the 25 years we have lived here.  Both times they did an outstanding job.  I would highly recommend them.

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

While some people are confident in their ability to replace concrete by drilling out the broken pieces and replacing them with bagged concrete, it’s possible to run into snags that make hiring a professional worth it. Trying to level concrete slabs can require special equipment, which can be pricey to rent and tough to operate. It's also crucial to contact your town's municipal office to ensure you are allowed to take on the project without a permit.

You shouldn’t need extra adhesive for peel-and-stick backsplash tile. The adhesive on the back of the tile sheets should do the trick. However, if you experience issues with the tile peeling or falling off, make sure the wall you’re working on isn’t textured, as that can prevent the materials from properly adhering.

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.

The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils.
