"Painter substituted lower quality paint (Latitude) vs specified Duration. Received nothing but bad attitude when I contacted the Des Moines office for resolution. I understand the risk when using Certa Pro as they typically use subcontractors for the work, but was shocked by the poor customer service from the actual Certa Pro operations person. She actually offered me $0.79 (not a typo, actually less than $1) as a resolution. This is the first negative review I have ever posted, so yes, very poor "

We have been in business since 1989 serving the Ames area including Story County and other neighboring counties as needed.

"I called Tom Hinders Jr. on the second day of a five inch note because he did not show up the first day, I called him four times during the day and he told me that after 45 minutes to an hour, he will be there, but he never showed up. So later that day, I called him one more time and he told me he was just finishing his other snow removal jobs and he was on his way to my place, but he never showed up. No good."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it’s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.
