"I can't say enough. I'm so glad I found somebody like Danny to repair my drywall. He was professional, skilled and very efficient. His work was perfect and he paid great attention to detail for a beyond reasonable price. He worked steadily on the job until finished (didn't leave for other work). I had a serious flood that resulted in removing walls in my home. He did an excellent job in completing the restoration and met the money allocation of my insurance adjuster. Besides the insurance work, he kindly completed numerous other small jobs for me (E.G. effectively addressing mildew on bathroom ceiling, removing and replacing broken light covers, hanging broken curtain rod, replacing angle stops, removing smoke alarms and patching, removing old thermostats and patching, sanding and resurfacing and preparing for painting for a bathroom not affected by the flood,.. and more), all for the fee of the parts. I highly recommend him!"

"I called The Painting Company to paint all walls, plus the kitchen cabinets, in a 3 bedroom townhouse we were putting up for sale.  Nile came to the property within a day, provided a very reasonable quote within 24 hours, and had workers available within two days.  He assembled a large crew to finish the job quickly.  They did a fantastic job of removing nails and screws from the walls and patching the holes, removing all electrical outlet and switch plates and preparing the area to ensure no paint ended up on the new hardwood floors.  Nile's team finished the work done in three days with PERFECT results.
I would definitely use The Painting Company again and would highly recommend Nile and his crew.

"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.

"The person who came to provide a quote was very professional and answered our questions. The 4 workers showed up on time. The job was suppose to take 2-3 day only took one and a half day to complete. They basically power-wash and started painting right the way. The fixtures was well taped up to protect them since they used spray paint on the stucco exterior. We did noticed the wood parts underneath the roof did not get proper preparation - old paint chips were just painted over without removing them first, other hidden parts looked like they weren't even touched. In addition, the top of the patio cover was left unpainted. We only just noticed that now when we have the occasion to climb up to fix something unrelated. The clean up was marginal, debris were left on the driveway and walkway. There were quite a few print marks left on the window frames. Lastly, they did not remove the plastic sheets put on our solar panels for protection. We had to call them back a few day later when our neighbours noticed the plastic sheets were still on the panels. The price was the least expensive compared to the other quotes we got, but I suppose you get what you pay for."

"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."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation.
