"I was very impressed with David's responsiveness and every member of his crew was a pleasure. They completely removed the kitchen floor (and several layers of subfloor) in my 100+ year-old home, made repairs to floor joists and installed new flooring that looks beautiful. It was an evolving project and I appreciated the team's flexibility and speed with which they completed the project."

"Mark and his assistant were friendly, efficient, and worked quickly. The job of painting two bedroom ceilings and walls took less time than originally estimated. The work was done neatly and borders /trim work was done meticulously. I would hire them again and recommend this company to other prospective customers!"

"I cannot recommend Franklyn and his team highly enough. We hired DNF to paint our home’s exterior including gutters, shutters and downspouts. They also painted our dining room trim being extra careful not to damage a custom wallpaper they were working above and below. It wasn’t an easy project and they did a beautiful job. Franklyn came out to view the house and provided a quote within 12 hours of me reaching out. His price was fair and fell right in the middle of the four quotes I received. He let me know they could start in about two weeks and was very communicative over text and email leading up to starting the job. I think the best thing about DNF is they are a family business. The entire team takes a lot of pride in what they do and clearly are used to working together. They had a very efficient process, moving quickly and carefully through their work and cleaning up at the end of each day. I’m an architect and can be very particular. Franklyn was very receptive and accommodating when I asked for some additional prep work or touch ups. He clearly wanted us to be happy with the work. Our house looks phenomenal and we had a great experience working with DNF. Do not hesitate to hire them for your painting needs!"

"His prep work was truly excellent and it made a huge difference, he spent a great deal of time making sure it was all done correctly. They cleaned up every evening and made sure to do no damage. He did it in a very timely manner and stayed within the quote he gave me and the house looks beautiful. He was able to maintain the wooden shutters that have been on the house for over 55 years which I was very happy about."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

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.

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

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.
