"We used Nigel and the Painting Company's service over 6 months ago and would have used them with our most recent project had they been available. We were very pleased with their service and the job they provided us, so much so that they have set a high standard for other painters/contractors we hire.

Nigel came out and did an estimate on our Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room (walls and ceiling), stair case, bathroom and laundry room. We were happy with the estimate and decided to move forward, he suggested we give him the swatches of our chosen colors as he gets a better deal on the paint because he is a contractor, rather than us picking it up ourselves at the hardware store.

He had two painters working at our place for two days and they did an amazing job. The paint looks fantastic, and they took plenty of time to move all of the furniture to the center of the rooms, they covered all flooring and furniture in plastic and everything was fully protected. They were very friendly and even brought my husband tamales on one of the mornings! There was no mess for us to clean up after they finished the paint job and they regularly checked with us to see how we liked what they had done so far, which as a homeowner, is very reassuring. 

We highly recommend using Nigel and his painters at The Painting Company for any of your paint jobs, they have fair prices and provide a quality result."

"This is updated review post is to correct grammatical errors in my prior post: Well, what does one say when a diamond is found. As far as a painting professional, Joe Asaro is that diamond. Several years ago, Joe painted the stucco and wood trim on our entire home. The paint has held up incredibly on both the stucco walls and the wood wood fascia and eaves and I would not even considered touch up painting as necessary if it was not for the replacement tile roof installed a short time ago. With the tile installation, the new trim rake tiles where installed exposing more wood than before and therefore, Joe's services were necessary again. As always, Joe met me at my home, walked the site with me and promptly sent to my email his proposal and as prior, the price was very reasonable, especially for the workmanship that Joe provides. Joe is hard working and honest and the quality of work he provides is "top notch" and proven by the lasting of time. Thanks again Joe for your professionalism and thoroughness and for consistently offering a great product and service. Nick"

"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."

"After learning that our popcorn ceiling had asbestos, we reviewed all of our options. Chris provided us with the option of "putty coating" the ceiling. When I met with him to get a quote I had a lot of questions about it. He was able to answer all of my questions and make me feel like it was a viable option compared to the costly removal of asbestos. He was on time every time I met with him and was able to get started the day after he gave me the quote. He finished the work on time and it looked amazing. There were a few spots where it had started to crack. When I called Chris he came out the next business day (again on time) and fixed them promptly. It's clear that they take pride in their work. I would definitely hire them again."

"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."

"Give these guys a B+, never received a written estimate for the work to be done. Nor was I provided a receipt when the work was completed. The two man crew did a good job in painting the areas I needed done, did two coats and completed in the time that was stated. Left remaining paint so I could do any touch-ups, which I needed to touch up the stairs. I would hire them again when we paint the rest of the house."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.
