If you are looking for Interior Painting on Ceilings, Walls, and Trim for an entire house, or even 3 to 4 rooms, Matt of ProVision Painting has not just run his own company for 30 years, he also is a Color Consultant and Certified Stager. He focuses on proper drywall prep and using quality Benjamin Moore Products. He is a graduate of The American Academy of Art of Chicago and has always had a passion for art. He specializes in Interior Decor and color matching and can turn your home into an artistic masterpiece. Award winning. ProVision.

"Matt and his team are the ultimate professionals. Matt spent hours with us recommending color choices for our living room, kitchen, main bathroom, hallway, master bedroom/bathroom and family room. His color consultation and choice of colors for the various rooms in our house was priceless. He mixed a custom color for the wall behind our bar. This took about 10 different formululations and turned out perfect. Our master bedroom had textured paint and ceilings that needed to be scraped/sanded down. Multiple coats of joint compound were applied to smooth out the walls. The team did a wonderful job and the walls turned out beautiful. He returned after we had carpeting installed in our master bedroom and touched up all of the marks from the installers. He went over our house with a fine tooth comb after the painting was completed and any imperfections that were found were fixed immediately. We highly recommend Matt and his team. We would absolutely hire again."

"I am extremely disappointed with the outcome of their work. They repainted our kitchen cabinets (among other things). The cabinet doors were not all done well and they agreed to fix/redo a few of them but not all of them. Now we are left with cabinet doors side by side that have very different finishes and are even different shades of white. We’ve asked them to honor their warranty and fix the remaining doors so they are all uniform and they have refused. There were numerous other issues as well such as over spray in many places they spilled paint on our brand new floors and left it to dry they put a small hole in our basement doors and there's uneven paint coverage in alot of places. This stuff they agreed to fix but for some reason still refuses to fix the other half of the cabinets that need correcting."

My husband and I started this business from scratch in 2017, with having 10+ years of knowledge and skills in the industry and take great pride in our work. We listen to our customers wants and needs and always deliver beyond their expectations. We have yet to have an unsatisfied customer. Give us a chance, you will not be disappointed.

"Excuse me while I leave a very detailed review. I don’t want what happened to us to happen to anyone again: If I’m being honest, I don’t know why Ron does what he does. He complains about it a lot. Complains about past employees, complains about repairs, complains about past clients a lot (red flag) and generally talks a lot. How they respond to reviews also says a lot about the type of business they run. Perry’s was originally hired to paint our kitchen cabinets. On the first day of the project we decided to also have them paint our main floor and a couple spaces up stairs as well. Ron asked for the opportunity, claimed this particular week was free to do that. We were already in the process of getting quotes to do it, so we decided to use them. Figuring it would make more sense to use one company. By day 2 of our project, I started to have serious regrets about hiring Perry’s. I was hearing a lot of excuses as if the project was already being delayed before it had even really started. By day 3 I was learning new information about my cabinets that were removed on day one, that sounded shady. On immediate removal of the cabinets we learned that one cabinet had an issue. By day three, 3 were broken? Maybe this was due to a lack of communication, but weird news like this kept happening. A member of the staff was let go, while at my house. Regardless of why, it was talked about in an unprofessional manner the remainder of the day with me present. Not really something I wanted to be involved with. THEN at 7pm at night, that exact member that was fired RETURNED to my house to explain what had happened. He stated the foreman tried to fight him in my backyard TWICE!! He also stated that he was about to call the police, as he felt that threatened by Ron and couldn’t get out of our backyard. I was obviously not around during that confrontation. He mentioned some other unsavory things that he thought, and were apparently said. But to be honest, I did not ever care to ever hear both sides. It made me extremely uncomfortable that that person returned to my home in the first place, and was all very much not OK. I didn’t bring it up to Perry’s at all until our project was complete because I didn’t want to hear him go on about it. On day 3, I was also told that by day 4 the painting of the walls would be complete. However, nothing was taped out, spaces upstairs that were discussed for paint hadn’t been touched so I was skeptical. Paint splatters were in all over our house: wood floors, granite and appliances. Ron said, “don’t worry it can come off with a credit card”. What?! By the end of day 3 I had scheduled a cleaning company to come for the next week to clean what I knew would be likely more of a paint mess. By the start of day 4 I just wanted my cabinets back regardless of the finish and for Perry’s to just leave so I could hire another professional to fix it. I wanted to avoid being home the entire day, even though I work from home. I was no longer sure how to approach the situation, and the foreman seemed increasingly unhinged. Spoiler, the painting of the walls was not finished. Day 5, I stayed on trend of avoiding Ron and crew. By the end of the day the boxes of the cabinets were still not finished, entire portions were not touched. The upstairs areas that were to be painted were half done. The original agreed date for the cabinet doors to be finished was day 5, Friday. Of course, they were not completed. We were then assured, that by Tuesday they would be ready (they were “curing” in their shop) and everything would be complete by Tuesday. Tuesday rolls around, Day 6, for those counting. And I chose to be around. Fearing that if I wasn’t I’d come home to more excuses as to why the project was still going. I can NOT make up how unfortunate of a day their last day on our project was. As I am working upstairs, I hear sudden yelling and panic in my kitchen. I come downstairs to a broken copper pipe originally connected to my fridge. One worker jumps into action, runs to turn off our water. While Ron worries more about yelling at another worker who apparently was the reason for the break. I grab a towel, and begin to help the worker who turned my water off as there is a literal flood happening in my kitchen at the moment. The worker who stopped the flood has, “seen this before”, knows exactly what to do and got right on it. Thank goodness! I stepped outside with my dog, trying my very best to just calm down - as I am not over reacting at all (because at this point I’m dead inside lol). While I’m outside trying to escape this NIGHTMARE, Ron comes out talking about, honestly who knows. I was more focused on not freaking out at the moment. The worker who broke my pipe came out after him, and Ron lays into him with me right there. Ron fires him on the spot, and tells him to leave and that he’s not getting paid. Ron tries talking to me after that incident, and I am just silent. What does one female in a house alone with this madness do? I mean, really? The worker who knew how to fix the issue, did just that, he fixed it. About an hour later, Ron comes to me stating that the screws that were in the cabinets when he took them out, no longer work. He has to “run out and get bigger ones”. Being in autopilot mode, I just say “whatever you have to do”. Later in the day, the hinges that once fit perfectly, no longer did according to Ron. So they had to get creative in putting them back, AKA drill more holes in the cabinets. All the while, I’m hearing and physically witnessing Ron spray paint our cabinets doors with a can of spray paint. Huh? But they were in a shop “curing” for the last 6 days. Shouldn’t they be complete? Whatever. Some point toward the end of the day, Ron’s wife Erika calls me. Who for all intent purposes is a nice lady and the sole reason I hired Perry’s. She seemed professional, and on top of things. At moments when we weren’t sure if the project would ever be done, she seemed like an assuring source. In our call she wanted to knock $200 off the final price because the hinges, or mistakes? I don’t really know. All I really heard was her specifically ask us not to leave a bad review. Being that this call happened while Ron was still in my house I didn’t feel I could be honest. The guy had clearly displayed poor reactionary behavior. She also stated that Ron thought I was upset. Uhhh OK. Yes, who wouldn’t be upset? But other than avoid, and be silent I hadn’t been disrespectful or given any negative feedback. Finally, 6pm rolls around, and Ron’s “done”. We do a 20 second walk through, I guess where I was to approve or disapprove the work done? He apologized a lot for the shotty work. My only objective was for him to leave at that point. The minute he did I took all the photos included in this review, which of course are time stamped. The very next day I emailed Erika with 68 photos showing how bad the work was. Including a photo showing the bottom of our oven being broken? My husband called to speak with her and ask for money back as this is not the work we agreed on. She responded by laughing, and as a business stated that Ron said I was rude and “tried his best”. She claimed the cabinets were in bad shape, and that’s why they look how they do - yet no one ever mentioned that that would change the outcome til of course now. She focused on one cabinet knick (yet there are MANY, again I sent 68 photos, all different parts of the kitchen) and said that she stands by the quality of work in these photos and that any marks or imperfections are our fault - something you will see repeated in other bad reviews. All in all, I feel like I got duped with Perry’s. The quality of work was not there, literally at all and the professionalism lacked. By the end of it, I started to just feel uncomfortable and sad. I don’t know how they have any good reviews. But I will say, the bad reviews that exist, were almost to a “T” what I experienced.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you’d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay.
