"Cyr Painting and Construction- Hire them now! I can’t say enough great things about John Cyr and his team. Some background… I just started to rent out my house, and after the rain/ freeze storms in late December and January, one of the bedroom ceilings showed signs of a leak! The renter was feeling around, and poked a hole through the damaged drywall. After seeing the damage I started researching contractors to repair the ceiling and maybe fix the flashing around the chimney. I used google and Angie's List. I contacted several people through both. Just about everyone returned my calls or email. However most told me they couldn't get to the work till April or May, and most wouldn’t come out and give me an estimate. John Cyr’s office got in touch with me, and set up and in person meeting at the house the very next day for a free consultation! I met John, and he went over all the different signs of water damage that he saw besides just the visible ceiling marking. He was very upfront in stating that an estimate without seeing the damage behind the drywall would be a guess. He was able to get one of his guys to come over and take the affected drywall down to investigate. It turns out he had to take good portion of the ceiling down and the wall. He just kept pulling drywall down in 12 inch increments to see how far the water damage went. It turned out to be extensive. The water damage extended from part of the roof down to the basement level all along the chimney. It turns out that there was no flashing installed behind chimney and water has been wreaking havoc on the structure. After seeing the initial inspection Cyr provided a quote. He told me that we need to do this in stages due to the damage and things that are still unseen. First thing was removing and reshingling a portion of the roof, reinstall cricket and fix flashing around chimney on the affected side of the house. The game plan he provided was to remove the siding (Vinyl & Wood) and fix the sheathing issues from the outside. Once the siding was removed he would be able to inspect for more damage and provide us another estimate. After the siding was removed it was established that portions of the sheathing, studs, sub floor, floor joists, top plate and header all had to be replaced. This was a very technically challenging job! At each step we received a quote for the work, this was great as we could plan for what was to come. All the quotes were detailed and fair for the amount of work that was required. I am very impressed with John Cyr and his team for the work they accomplished. They were able to get started quickly, within a week, to make it right. The job site was kept clean every day, as the tenants were still living in the house as the work was being done. The upfront talk about having to investigate first to see the extent of damage was forthright. There was no hidden costs, the plan was clearly defined, and was updated as new information became available. John communicated with the tenants to explain what happened, and what he had to do to fix the problem and when his team would be at the house. The fact that he would take this on, freed up my time, and made sure there was no communication problems. I can’t say enough about how John’s communication with me about EVERY step of what was happening allowed me not to stress out so much. He had to talk me down a few times! That is worth its weight in gold! Overall I am very pleased with the timeline, communication, quality of work and costs. I highly recommend John Cyr Painting and Construction for your construction and painting projects."

"I always do my own painting, I've never hired a painter before. But I was putting off doing our master bedroom because it has huge cathedral ceilings and I didn't have the equipment to do those. Used Angie's List and got the name of Franklin Painting and called him for an estimate. Our bedroom is 16 ft x 21 ft - quite large. He gave me an estimate of $200 for the ceiling which I accepted, it came out great! So I got an estimate for the walls ($250) and trim (4 windows, a door, baseboard). He and his wife (a lovely woman, I liked her) came yesterday and did the painting. Again, a fabulous job. Quite impressed! Couldn't beat the price either. Hard-working, neat, arrived on time, did an excellent job. Highly recommended.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

The cost varies from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the type of wallpaper, the wall condition, and the labor involved.

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.

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.
