When it came time to settle, he did not acknowledge the $99 that I had already paid to Angis List. He said the bookcase was only worth $20. Finally, to get him out of my house, I wound up giving him and extra $100, and he still left claiming I owed him an additional $130. I am on sorry that I didn't withhold the extra $100 I gave him, or give him the option to replace the broken bookcase. It was a very distressing experience.

It was still on the wall but it was buckling up and started to fall off. I didn’t like that experience. The price was ok but the quality was very poor.

We had purchased the vanity, sink, tile and everything we needed. Once we started the project, it was problem after problem. The wallpaper removal ended up destroying the finish on the sheetrock, the tile demo was making a huge mess and I knew it was going to take far more time and labor than we had planned. I called Platinum and was immediately called back by Phil the owner. He came out at a convenient time and quickly provided us with an estimated with an itemized cost breakdown and scope of work to complete the project. We agreed to furnish all the materials required and he would provide labor to remove and replace the tile, reinstall the toilet and install the new vanity, granite, sink and associated plumbing. He gave us available dates and we hired him. He showed up exactly at 9 am as promised and worked each day for the 3 days he estimated. We did need few odd parts and Phil ran down to Home Depot only asking to be repaid for the materials purchased. Bottom line-Phil did exactly what he said he would do, when he said he would do it for a very fair price. I trusted him in my home alone and had absolutely no issues. The world would be a better place if all contractors where as good to work with! Highly recommended and we will have him back to do additional work in the future.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts
Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.
Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.
When comparing peel-and-stick wallpaper and traditional wallpaper, each has its own pros and cons—the one that’s better for you depends on your needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to install, while traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and can be used in a wider variety of spaces.
Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.
The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.
