"I was given Larry’s name by a family friend to quote re-doing my living room and bedroom ceiling. Larry was quick to get back to my phone call as well as begin the work. His quote was fair, better than two others I had received! Larry worked quickly and did an amazing job. He kept me informed throughout the entire job and was so easy to talk to. After meeting him, I trusted him to be in my home alone, using a lock box, which allowed for him to come on his schedule without me having to be there. Larry did a wonderful job, going above and beyond to touch up some imperfections on my walls as well. I would 100% recommend Larry to anyone looking for drywall/Sheetrock work done! Thanks again Larry!"

"I hired Dominic's Painting to paint the entire exterior of my old (1700's) colonial home in the Summer of 2017. This was a very big project and they did such a fantastic job that I hired them once again to paint (and wallpaper) the interior of my house in late 2017. I was totally satisfied with all the work that they did. They were punctual, hardworking and very professional at all times. I had gotten several other job estimates before hiring them and their price was the most reasonable for the work. John is a pleasure to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone who needs either interior or exterior paining done. I particularly recommend them for the difficult job of painting an old home. My home needed a lot of plastering and special care and nothing was a problem for them. They went above and beyond my expectations-always ready to do anything that was needed. Check this company out before you hire anyone else!"

"Overall it was a bumpy ride, but the end result is very good.  I feel the supervisor was basically absent from the job, and clearly did not ensure the crew understood exactly what was to be painted.  I had to inspect and supervise the job from start to finish, and ended up having to bring them back twice to finish the job because areas were either not given a second coat, or were missed altogether.  The end result is fantastic, but only because I was such a stickler and made them come back and fix things to my satisfaction.  I would still recommend them because their price was great as compared to multiple other estimates, and the quality of their work is strong, as long as you are willing to stay on top of them and inspect thoroughly.  Throughout the job, they were very respectful, friendly, and cleaned up after themselves very well."

".He came one day after i called for an estimate and gave a lower estimate in case we wanted to try to finish removing the paper and buy the paint. we said no give us an estimate with all the work done by him the second estimate was $460 and still was well worth it for the work it involved. He had a couple of days work because of the skimcoating needing drying time. from beginning to end, he was here 3 times and each time at exactly 8:30 AM. he worked diligently and was an extremely competent painter. i decided to call him the wall doctor because i didn't think anybody could fix our horrible wall that nice for so little. i recommend him to anybody.

"It was great. Joe and an his assistant came to the house and prepped and painted the master bedroom and master bath. He was very meticulous and took great care to protect all surfaces. He did a great job. There was one small touch up that was required. I called him back and he took care of it right away."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. 

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.
