"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."

"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!"

"Exceptional service, here on time, cleaned up everyday, technicians worked till late everyday and finished in 4 days. Complete. When they ripped the roof I was shown all issues and Joe took complete care of each issue. I am pleased and so satisfied by this company and I have been very skeptical of all the roofers that bid on this project. Knockouts price was fair and there were no surprises. The owner is so conscientious and so honest. I am so pleased i have inquired with Knockout about future home improvement projects. If you are looking for a roofing company, this is the one you should definitely contact. Or else you are making a mistake."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

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. 

Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.
