"Jay Finnegan and the CertaPro team have been extremely professional and efficient since we first contacted them in August of 2014. After several months of house projects, we were finally able to have CertaPro finish the final touches in our 2 bathrooms. Not only was the team punctual; they took extra measures to make sure our floors were properly covered to avoid any damage prior to beginning the work. They were able to finish some major blemishes on the walls and ceilings of the bathrooms, and still complete the painting job near perfect in less than 7 hours. Needless to say, we highly recommend CertaPro - and will continue to use their services for future painting projects.

"Very Good. Whole house's exterior and all trim was painted. The company was prompt and showed integrity. He showed up and finished when promised. The workmanship was outstanding. Paint was applied evenly and all masking was accurately done and removed. I highly recommend this company. ."

"We received the quote on 10/13/2014, but we're unable to start the work until 1/23/2015 due to our work and travel schedule. Huber still honored our quote from 3 months prior. He started on a Friday with one other crew member and carefully taped up plastic barriers to prevent the construction dust from spreading. My husband and I were extremely impressed with how much they accomplished on the first day. They laid the first coat of mudding and sanded the master bedroom and bath, they repaired the drywall in the dining and living room including other minor repairs that were not included in the quote without asking for more money. They also removed all the textured drywall from the family room ceiling. The second one day they installed the new drywall in the family room ceiling, including taping and mudding. They also fixed drywall taping in the kitChen ceiling without bumping up the quote. They were prompt each day until the repairs were complete. They were professional and respectful of our home and the quality of work was excellent. Should we have any other repairs, we would not hesitate to use them again!

"Ken Turner Custom Painting beautifully restored almost the entire interior of my house. I chose this company because of the high ratings the company has received on Angie's List, and because the company removes wallpaper, which is no longer commonplace among painting contractors. The painters worked diligently and quietly and put in long hours when necessary to stay on schedule. l highly recommend this business, as the owner is very focused on customer satisfaction. I have already reserved time with them for another project in the spring."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

Costs depend on wallpaper type, wall condition, labor, and necessary repairs.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

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.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.
