"He is very professional. I would definitely recommend him. The only thing I can say is that he doesn't speak fluent English but we were still communicating very well. Everything was finished on time. He was always answering the phone when I had questions which is important for me because I've had people who would disappear. He never did that. He did a perfect job. There is nothing that I can complaint about, absolutely zero."

"Thomas & Thomas is by far the best painters I've seen. Joe is meticulous and careful doing every job and exceeded my expectations. They have painted high ceilings in my stair well, stripped peeling paint and repainted in my hall way, put drylock paint in my basement, patched up damaged walls on my pack porch and painted it. Joe's team is professional, his estimates are reasonable, and his work is Excellent! I've hired him back 2 or 3 times now on various other projects. He is my go to painter. I HIGHLY recommend Thomas & Thomas!!!

Bethany Beach, DE 7/22/2022 Paint or Stain Exterior Surfaces We hired DMJ Custom Colors to clean and apply solid color stain to treated wood skirting on our beach house. Dennis spent much time with me advising me on which products would be best. He even provided a contact with a paint manufacturer and encouraged me to consult with him. This was extremely helpful. He and his men did a wonderful job, with great attention to neatness and detail. He promptly responded to ever contact and finished the job promptly. We could not be more pleased. His price was a little higher but I was willing to employ him because of his helpfulness. It was a great experience and I will use him again. 5.0 Beth M. Bridgeville, DE 7/15/2022 Paint or Stain Exterior Surfaces Dennis and his crew did a fantastic job on my exterior house painting. I have a cedar shake house and I was worried how good of a job a company could do. With DMJ Custom Colors Painting my house was in excellent hands. They sealed the windows and doors, painted my chimney, and even replaced a whole end side of shakes that were rotting. Of course upon my approval, their communication was definitely professional I highly recommend Dennis and his crew at DMJ for any painting project you have. My house looks wonderful!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

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.

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.

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.

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.
