"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."

"In both 2014 and 2013, the Owner was extremely flexible in working around my schedule and he and his foreman frequently were present during the day to oversee and make sure workers had materials, were doing work as agreed upon, etc. 
Company's motto - is we do quality work and if there is a problem, we will do it until it is right - and they did!  The plaster walls did not absorb the paint like wallboard does, and consequently they gave some rooms 4-5 coats until there was uniform coverage - at no extra cost.  Any issues I raised were handled by the management without objections, promptly and courteously. The estimate prices were fair and there were no surprise additional charges, etc. tacked on.
Workers were courteous, pleasant, helpful, neat and cleaned up after themselves. They arrived on agreed upon days and worked from 7 or 7:30 AM until 5:30-6:00 PM.  Automatically they taped and covered with plastic, the kitchen cabinets, panelling, etc.  They readily and carefully moved furniture as needed. They removed most of the few paint spots they made and also cleaned up some of the old paint on the woodwork that had been left behind by the previous painters years ago.
While they do not wash walls (we did that ourselves prior to painting), they did sand the walls. They did a good job patching holes, etc. and if an occasional spot was not to my liking, they readily redid it without any objection. 
As it turned out, this was not an easy job for the painters.  I was very pleased overall and would readily hire this company again.

"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."

"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."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

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

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.

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.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
