"I was introduced to Alfred through ServiceMagic; he was the first to call back, the first to come to give a quote, and I must say he was the most professional of all of those who did call back. He gave an extremely reasonable quote, and he began by saying, "I'm not done until you're completely satisfied". We've all heard that before, right? Well, Alfred meant it. We were moving into a foreclosure and the place was a mess. The paint on the walls was chipped and cracking, the floor, window, and door moulding were gutted and covered with nails and staples (don't even know why). We were considering replacing all the trim but Alfred said, "nah, I'll have my guys patch it.. it'll look good as new, and you'll save a lot" I have to tell you Alfred's team worked on those mouldings about 5 times, patching, sanding, painting-- until we were completely satisfied. When Alfred says he's not happy until you're happy-- he means it. The previous owner had also decided to do a lot of his own "home improvement". Well, as with many do-it-yourself-jobbers this wasn't really an improvement.. It was more like "home deprovement". They had laid tile over the hallway floor that was crooked and uneven; all the doors had been badly cut so not only did they not fit they had chips at all the edges. We got several quotes for the doors, but Alfred said, "since we're here, let me get my own guy to do it because otherwise it'll slow us down waiting for the other contractors." Alfred got a very seasoned carpentry pro to come in and replace all our doors at a lower cost than any quote we had gotten. He also had his crew peel of the tiles and (surprise) an extra layer of linoleum covering the floor. Since he knew we were planning to remodel the kitchen and bathroom he also helped us demo our existing kitchen and bathroom. The entire operation was flawless. The paint made the house look like new. And he was immaculate and attentive to every little detail of the job. Now, let me be clear-- I am a very critical person and there were some minor flaws in the carpentry-- during the summer it turns out the doors expanded and got a little sticky, and the trim, well, new is new and not new is not new. Everything looks great, though, and ultimately Alfred probably saved us about $400-$500 on the trim.. so in the end, he was definitely in the right. I would use Alfred again for any painting job. They were fast, professional, and attentive to our needs. Just make sure you communicate clearly and well; he definitely knows his stuff. And if you're unhappy, even about a little thing, make sure you voice it-- don't be shy. Alfred stands by his claim that he's not happy until you are. And as it was the middle of winter when I called him, he mentioned that he'd be back to paint our exterior door too during warmer weather. It has my pleasure to have hired him. And this way, my two little girls don't have to discover what paint chips taste like."

"We had the entirety of our new house painted inside and it came out BEAUTIFUL! The guys at Rainbow were all so friendly, communicative, and very clean. We were not living in the house when they were here, but they still had all of there stuff organized and cleaned up every night. Would highly recommend!"

"It went very well, they started on my preferred date and worked 6 days a week for 2 weeks to complete the job. I had expected it to take at least two weeks. They were punctual, polite, friendly, and thorough. It was 20 years since it was last painted so there was a lot of prep work that was needed. They also had to remove wallpaper from 6 rooms, prepare the surface, then repaint. I was very satisfied with the results."

"Mr. Silva and his associate are dependable, arriving on time. They efficiently used every minute during the project. When I called to say I was not completely satisfied with the small room (Iâ m a bit of a perfectionist), he immediately agreed to return and give it an additional coat of paint. The project is finished now and I am totally pleased. I wouldnâ t hesitate to use this fine company for another home project."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate 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.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you’re covering and divide that by the square footage that each roll covers. Add 10% to 20% of your total square footage to account for pattern matching or damage while installing.

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.
