"After 28 years we decided to make repairs on some of our drywall, repaint the entire interior of our home (except for the kitchen) and install new carpeting.  Inasmuch as we had heard a lot of negative reports on conractors, we approached this project with some trepidation.  We interviewed seven paint and two drywall contractors.  We decided to use J & B Painters from Agoura Hills, and we are so very happy that we did.  From the first visit by Streve Berger, we felt that he was genuinely committed to providing outstanding service.  He has a very easy-going and trustworthy personality and took his time going through the rooms of our home carefully examining the places that needed drywall repair  He was willing to give us their senior citizen discount on the job and offered  to give us the name of an interior designer that he recommends because we were uncertain of the best colors to use given the lighting in our home is so varied.  The designer he recommended, Joanne MacCallum (JM Design), came to our home and suggested several colors for the various rooms which Steve got samples of and came and put them on the walls himself. Throughout all this, Steve was very patient with us and his encouragement and support helped us tremendously.  The day we started painting, Steve arrived with his two crews exactly on time.  He took a lot of time explaining to his associates what was to be done.  Each day he would return to examine the work and make any necessary additions to our job that we requested.  His painters were always prompt, did a meticulous job on the drywall repairs, removal of wallpaper in 3 bathrooms and painting and they were extemely careful in moving heavy furniture and putting plastic cloths over anything that needed protection.  They did all the necessary preparations on the on the walls, ceilings, spindles on stairwell, and doors. His crews were very respectful and courteous at all times and went out of their way to try to please us. Steve put more than one crew on the job so as to accommodate our needs. After the painting and carpet installation, Steve came back with his crew to do touch-ups. We arranged for different crew members to do other jobs with Steve's permission (refinishing a portion of the banister, changing hinges on cabinets, making a door to the attic, and changing a door knob-these workers were paid separately).  We are so extremely pleased with the painting and repairs done by J & B Painters that we wholeheartedly recommend them and are planning to use them again next year when we do work on our kitchen."

"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!"

"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."

"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

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.

Textured or patterned vinyl wallpaper designs are the best option for hiding imperfections. Embossed designs or faux finishes like brick, wood, or linen textures are especially effective at camouflaging dents, cracks, or uneven surfaces. Avoid smooth, shiny finishes, as they can highlight flaws rather than conceal them. 

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.

Having dated, peeling, or otherwise damaged wallpaper can decrease the value of your property, so removing that before listing your house is nearly always a good idea; however, since wallpaper tends to be a personal style choice, potential buyers may or may not love your aesthetic as much as you do.

Love the look of wallpaper but want to consider property value as well? Stick with something that is easy to change. If you are thinking of selling soon, make sure your wallpaper hanging is on-point and looks professional with no crooked seams, evenly matched patterns, and minimal bubbling or other imperfections.

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.
