"I have used Ericks Painting exclusively for the last 5 years because Erick is dependable and does great work. We started with replacing wood siding with Hardy plank and painting the exterior of my home. Erick did such a wonderful job that he and his wife have completed numerous other projects in my home from deck repair, pressure washing and staining to wallpaper removal, interior painting and even removing an exterior door and replacing with siding and drywall. Erick and his wife are skilled professionals who use quality products. I will continue to refer Ericks Painting to family, friends and neighbors and you will too!"
"We had them install wallpaper in 3 rooms. One room was a bathroom with basic graphic wallpaper and 2 of the other rooms we had them install grass cloth wallpaper (dining room and study room). All of the rooms turned out really well. The owner, Carl, really stands by his work. I would hire them again for future projects."
"From start to finish, Poli Paint was a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation recommending them to family and friends; if I needed any additional interior or exterior work, I would contact them. (They are licensed and insured) Claude and Ray are perfectionists who ensured the work was fantastic. Excellent painters who are also sincere and humble people."
"Very well. My space is very large and they completed the work in just over 24 hours (2 days). They even took the time to clean up (sweep, mop, etc.) before leaving. I highly recommend them and will be working with them again."
"Roci is always prompt and willing to work with our schedule. The cleaning is very meticulous and she is willing to handle special requests. We have used other cleaning services and Roci is by far best based on being prompt, doing a thorough cleaning and being reasonably priced."
"The communication was very good. They recommended a 'flatish' and I wanted something more shinny; they were right in their recommendation. There were extra costs beyond the original offer due to accent walls and a larger room + closet. They were very reasonable. I think I would recommend a little more clarity on the front end about possible additional charges, but I think their intent was good. "
Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.
The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
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.
It’s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you’re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It’s usually a better idea to hire a professional wallpaper installer to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.
Having dated, peeling, or otherwise damaged wallpaper can decrease the value of your property, so removing that before listing your house is nearly always a good idea; however, since wallpaper tends to be a personal style choice, potential buyers may or may not love your aesthetic as much as you do.
Love the look of wallpaper but want to consider property value as well? Stick with something that is easy to change. If you are thinking of selling soon, make sure your wallpaper hanging is on-point and looks professional with no crooked seams, evenly matched patterns, and minimal bubbling or other imperfections.
