"Very professional and knowledgeable.  All services were completed as promised in a timely manner - complete job start to finish was 4 days.  Provided free estimate of work as well as a written contract detailing all services to be provided and materials to be used.  Always very courteous - willing to work around my work schedule to get the front door painted. Completely cleaned up each day - could not even tell that someone had been here by the end of the job except that my house looks brand new.  Very satisfied with all that was done.

"I could not ask for a more beautiful job. I had just short of two rolls of wallpaper and that's all the store had as it was on clearance. This made a very expensive paper affordable but it meant that in order to do the job there could be almost no waste. My intention was to have the lower half of the foyer wainscotted but my contractor jumped ship so Ron Couch jumped in and was able to make the wallpaper stretch. The pattern is expertly matched and it looks like a million bucks. Terrific job!"

"He showed up when he said he would and used only his own employees. He did not sub anything out. He put in a full day's work and everyone was friendly. It was obvious they took pride in their work by the quality of the painting. He told me it would only take 4 days to complete but finished in 3. He would suggest changes that he felt would make the house look better. I agreed with his suggestions and it turned out better than what it would have. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."

"Michael came over to give us an estimate for painting an empty condo we had just purchased. We thought he may charge a little more than the coupon because there were 2 vaulted ceilings. Since we were having the popcorn removed beforehand, the ceilings would be finished and would not need painting. He explained that there would be 2/3 days of "prep work" included in his 40 hour estimate.

We thought this was excessive. All in all, he estimated $1,000 additional from the 40 hours we had purchased. We contacted him 3 days later, with a phone call after an email. At this point he wants us to pay $1,500 additional and advance him money for prep supplies, this just kept getting worse so we decided to opt out of the whole situation."

"We hired CMR Painting for a whole-house interior painting project. Chris and the CMR team did an amazing job! It is an old family home that had not been painted in quite awhile, and Chris was able to completely bring it back to life. Patching where necessary, removing old wallpaper, and painting it all to our specs without leaving a trace behind him. Chris was very professional and honest to work with, from the estimate to the completion of the job. Would absolutely hire him again!"

E&T Handyman services                              

Ed and partner were in January to do repairs and paint the interior of a home I had renters in for 5 years.  I plan to sell the house and so a professional job was expected.

Ed quoted $1 per square foot of walls.  We did negotiate a reduction, however, I was unable to afford to get the trim, closets and doors painted.  I removed all outlet plates, shelving and other obstacles. I forgot to remove the bathroom wall fixtures and they painted around them leaving the old color around the edges. Some wall areas did not get full paint coverage. Their painting work would be ok if I were just going to rent it again but not for selling.  

I had a long list of things to do. Ed and partner hung 3 ceiling fans, installed a washer, dryer, dishwasher, a patio sliding door and a few other repairs.  Ed developed an eye problem. He did not follow up to do the rest of my list of things to do. Ed is very pleasant and congenial. My opinion is he is not as experienced a handyman as I needed. Paid: $2,975 for labor.

I completed all my work with Rick Boyd. He is the best of the best. See that review

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

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.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.
