"Mark provided a very fair cost estimate for the work to be done in painting a two bedroom apartment and kitchen, including closets. All work was complete and professional, with complete covering by the paint, clean edging and clean-up. I live out of state, so he provided updates via video of work done. He was also accommodating in removing medicine cabinet, taking down and replacing curtains. He did the work himself without sending a team of unknown helpers. I highly recommend his service which was professional and trustworthy. Joe"

"We needed to replace a patch of our living room ceiling due to damage from a water leak upstairs. We contacted C&B, who responded and quoted us a price quickly. The price was fair for a multi-day job, they got it done within a week, and they even helped us repaint the ceiling. Very professional, courteous, and trustworthy. We'd strongly recommend!"

"We received estimates from 4 different companies and decided to go with Dimanno painting because they were the only ones to contact us immediately with a quote and continued to follow up to accomodate our schedule. Once they started the job was complete within a day and a half, others said almost a week."

"Extremely well! Troy is very detailed oriented, so he makes sure not to cut corners. Before we found Troy, we had other box store installers refuse to take up the old laminate, while acknowledging the likelihood of bumps and bubbles without pulling up. Troy didn't flinch! He knew it was best to remove the old stuff and start with new sub-flooring, even if it meant the job would be more difficult for him. Troy finished in a timely fashion, and it's beautiful...no bumps or bubbles!"

"I sent a quote request to Jose the other day to replace my chimney cap which had blown off earlier in the week. About an hour later I got a phone call and that evening he came by to assess the job and provide me a quote. The next morning at 8am, he was on my roof getting the job done. For the gutters, he removed my gutter guards, cleaned out everything thoroughly, and sent me pictures showing me his work. I will absolutely call Jose again in the future for similar jobs. I've already recommended him to a few people for gutter cleaning services, hopefully they will be calling him soon."

We lined up 4 companies to give us bids.  3 showed up and I was impressed with the detail that Mark went through the house. He asked a lot of questions around our expectations, what we wanted done and our expectations.  I was left with the feeling that Mark and his team would do a very good job.  We wanted the job done as quickly as possible as we were not going to move into our new house until the painting was done.  Out of the 3 companies, MDF was one of the lower prices. In addition, they clearly outlined the cost of labor and the amount of paint estimated, it was then up to me to pick the quality of paint.  MDF was able to get very high quality paint at a great price.  One week after the proposal, we had our pre-work meeting in which Mark (the owner), the job supervisor and I went through everything.  Not only did we go through the details of the job, they brought samples of the paint colors I picked out and put them up on the wall.  That way I could make sure I was comfortable with the paint colors prior to purchasing all of the paint.  The team then started immediately.  They worked through the weekend and the main two floors were completed in 6 days.  It took one additional day to lay the epoxy down on the basement floor. 


The qualify of work was great.  They did a good job repairing all of the nail holes in the walls.  They removed some wallpaper we had up and the newly finished walls look great. The trim was painted expertly.  The crew protected our new carpet and floors.  They cleaned up after themselves.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

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.

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.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.
