"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 was very responsive and did the job quickly. Our only issue was there were many paint spots to be removed on the floor after the work was complete. I would hire him again but ask that he use drop cloths. He did the work promptly and we are happy with the paint job itself."

"Scott came to my home and was punctual each day of the project. In addition to the painting of our kitchen and family room area we also removed popcorn from two seperate rooms and had our newly installed baseboard painted. Initially, I was very concerned about the mess the poor corn removal would cause to the rest of my home but Scott and team were very diligent in securing the area and ensuring that they contained the dust to not impact other areas of our home. I could not have been happier with the end result of the painting, removal of the popcorn ceilings and the painting of our baseboards. They took the care in cleaning up when they were done to ensure my home was left how they found it. Scott and team were very professional and got my project done in two days. He ensured I was happy with everything at the end of the job. I would hire him again for other painting needs."

"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

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.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

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.
