"Exceptional and professional service. It is refreshing to experience someone deliver the service and quality they promised. The Cedar siding was in dire need of attention. The task of restoring the appearance of the building was completed only when I was completely satisfied. No questions asked.
From the first inquiry Jay was prompt with responses and solutions to the concerns/questions I raised. Although the cost was a little bit higher than some prior bids, it was Jay who gave me the confidence that I had the right people for the job. And they did not disappoint.
Crew was attentive to detail, prompt, courteous, and careful to remove debris.   
Plus, they stand behind their work! Recent high wind activity caused a repair to come undone...and they returned to fix it!
CertaPro Painters of Chicago are truly a good investment for your decorating needs.

"I was very impressed with Precision Painting.  Jason was able to schedule an estimate during non-business hours (7 PM) so that I didn't need to take time off work.  Jason and his crew showed up promptly at 8 AM every day (never more than 5 mins late).  We had some plumbing issues while Jason was painting (leak requiring portion of ceiling drywall to be removed).  Jason assessed the problem and fixed (patch/paint the ceiling) at minimal cost.  I found Jason to be extremely trustworthy to the point that we felt comfortable giving Jason a key to our house (which we never do for contractors).  Paint job looks amazing with no paint spilled on carpet, furniture, etc.  Highly recommend."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.
