"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."

"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."

"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!"

"This was preparation of an estate house. There were lots of different colors, dark wood, and paneling that needed to be painted. After putting in the request for a painter Dale Harrington owner of Painter's Plus responded within half an hour (on a Sunday). By Tuesday his crew of 5 was on the job and 6 days later (including Saturday and a Sunday work) the entire house was completed exactly to the realtors specifications. The work ethic, work quality, and attention to detail was fantastic. Also Dale has years of experience in the business and his suggestions and explanations were extremely helpful. This is a great company!"

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 FAQs, answered by experts

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

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.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

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

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.
