"They were a pleasure to do business with. The price was fair and the guys did a great job and answered any questions we had. Very happy with the results."

"Susan was just great. She gave me a quote quickly after I made a request. Price was very reasonable considering the work that needed to be done in the bathroom. She did the work in two days which is what she had figured. It was nice not to have to be home while she did the work. She helped me pick out colors for the rooms which turned out great. The job she did was outstanding and the rooms look beautiful. She cleaned up after herself when finished and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend her to others and will use her again with other painting projects."

Done Done Services was founded in 2002 with a mission to provide quality maintenance and improvement services on time. With Done Done, you not only get professional workmanship, but honest and personal service at a reasonable price. At Done Done Services, we believe a job isn't done until it is completely finished, or, as we like to say, “done done”. How many times have we heard a job is done “except for” this or that? There is no “except for” at Done Done. Our crew will thoroughly complete a job, including clean up.

"Good! Seemed to take a long time but it looked great when done."

"I am still in shock. We paid Justin in cash. $500.00. When I saw his work, I asked my husband when he was to return to finish. He said, "He's done." My contractor that was there doing another project, looked at the bedroom and said it would be nice when it was finished. Unfortunately, it was finished. I don't even know where to begin. Streaks showing through irregular brush strokes. Drips on to baseboard. Justin lied to us and said he had applied three coats of paint, but obviously he had not. My husband and I spent many hours over the weekend completely starting over and re-painting the job. Justin did not return our calls or hold himself accountable for the atrocious work he performed. It was obvious he wanted quick cash. He did not honour my concerns what so ever and lied to us over various things. I am left with the feeling that Justin needed fast cash and didn't invest himself professionally in the work. Not his house, doesn't care. I trusted him and feel deceived. PLEASE do yourself a favour and do not let this person touch any wall in your home unless you are prepared to redo the entire project yourself at your expense or hire a real professional. This is the worst work I have ever seen. He did nothing to make retribution. He did not apologize. He lied and said my husband approved of his work upon completion of the project. My husband paid him cash in the parking lot and did not get the opportunity to have an inspection. He did nothing with the trim work and said that he "doesn't do trim work. No one does." Except that he did not mention that during our initial interview. I rue the day I met this thief and unfortunately, it makes me question Angie's list and all people that profess themselves professional. When I can do a better job than the professionals, you know they are suspect. BEWARE of Justin Nolting!!!!"

"Honey the end result looks decent… however had we not complained repeatedly about the prep work, running paint, missing paint, graffiti looking paint, it wouldn’t look this nice. We got the impression they wanted to do half way work and get paid. Paint still needs be cleaned up in areas. Over spray on the siding. The doors were painted but the weather stripping was ripped off so now we have to replace it. Would run water over and over with no respect of who is paying the bill. Dropped a 5 gallon bucket of paint from the roof on to the driveway, getting on car, siding and driveway. Took my husband 3 hours to clean up with power washer. Additionally brought broken sprayers that he used to spray all over the grass to get to work instead of just using a box to spray on. No prep work was done on the doors and you can tell it. Paint is runs, bubbles from no sanding underneath, etc. like I said at the end it looks good on the roof, the rest I am sure we will have to redo at some point. It’s a good 10ft stand away kinda job. They are nice but if you want someone will tons of experience idk if it’s them. After all the problems he still expected full payment, he did try to fix the issues once he would see it but it could take hours for him to realize it’s that bad and then an apology text with I will come back tomorrow to fix it."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

It is possible to remove wallpaper yourself, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a professional. Some types of wallpaper can prove to be a real challenge to remove, and the process is labor intensive regardless, so most homeowners prefer to save themselves time and frustration by hiring a pro. Professional wallpaper companies have special tools like steamers and the experience to use them effectively without damaging the drywall behind it, which can get damaged if it gets too wet. Hiring a pro gets the job done quickly and minimizes the wall prep you’ll need to do afterward.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

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.

White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.

Many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can hold up to environments with some level of moisture, such as bathrooms—especially peel-and-stick wallpapers made of vinyl or polyester. However, if you’re considering wallpapering a bathroom that sees a lot of moisture, like a kids’ bathroom or a full bathroom with a steamy shower and inadequate ventilation, even the highest quality wallpapers will peel.
