I can do all sorts of basic trades/handyman work. A really full array of tools, a truck and trailer for hauling, and the know-how to do or learn most projects short of more involved plumbing and electrical. I've spent three seasons as a full-time landscaper and a good amount of time in the nursery industry as well, so I can do installation, design, that sort of thing.

Looking to add a focal point to your home that adds immediate value? Have a project in mind that’s too small for a contractor to bother but too complex for the tools you own? I build faux shiplap accent walls, hand rails, epoxy tables, custom closet organizers. I’ve been woodworking for ~10 years and recently finished my basement and home renovations. Experience swapping light fixtures, laying LVP, faucet / hardware replacement, hanging TVs, replacing storm doors and key-code locks, you name it. Shoot me a message if you have something in mind! Price depends on task requested.

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

You can paint over wallpaper, but it’s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it’s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn’t last quite as long as traditional wallpaper. The life span of peel-and-stick wallpaper is about five years, depending on the quality of the wallpaper and how well you prep the wall before applying. The good news is that, because of its shorter lifespan, peel-and-stick wallpaper is a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

You can hide wallpaper seams when painting by applying joint compound over them and then sanding thoroughly until smooth. You’ll want to apply two layers of compound, allowing for four to eight hours between coats. Do a light sanding between coats and then after the final coat is dry. Once the compound dries completely, you can begin priming and painting the wall.

The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils.

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.
