"DAVID IS AMAZING ! I have a 10 foot long closet that i tried fixing myself 3 times and it was a nightmare that wouldnâ  t end my clothes were all on the ground and my room was a mess ! Nobody would take the job and if they were willing to hear my story their price was astronomical. I called the cleaners and builders and David and i agreed on a fair price and picked a day for him to get started working on the closet, his flexibility was perfect for my schedule. He put the closet up extremely professional and was nice and upfront about the whole process it was extremely hard to find an honest handyman and let me tell you for now on heâ  s my guy ! Also as a bonus after the job was done he followed up came back to check if everything was good and also refunded me the amount from the materials that were refundable after the job was done. 10/10 in my book ! Thank you again for resolving my closet problem in such a timely manner."

"Jose and his team were phenomenal to work with. Super communicative during the whole process. I have an older home and he was able to install the wallpaper with ease. I would definitely recommend Jose and will be working with him again in the future."

"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!"

"We had several rooms in our new home that had to be painted. Some of them turned out great while others we feel were rushed. We had a deadline to meet and the remaining rooms to be painted were not done as well as we would have liked. The crew was late on a couple of occasions as well as left the site for personal reasons. In addition, we had to clean up outside after the job was completed. Overall, I would not use them for another painting job."

"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."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils.

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.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

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.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay.
