"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. "
Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can apply wallpaper on textured walls, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.
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.
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.
While peel-and-stick wallpapers require no time to cure, the adhesives for other types of papers will take a day or two to dry and up to three weeks to fully cure. The differences are the type of paper, the type of adhesive, and the humidity and temperature in the space.
Ideally, you want to ask the wallpaper installers you’re considering for examples of past work, and references you can call. These will prove that the installer can handle your job, make your room look professional, and will also give you some insight into the kind of customer service you can expect. Before you start calling companies, you might want to narrow down your options by finding installers with mostly positive reviews online.
