"Our experience with 360° Painting was perfect from start to finish. The owner, Mike, made time to come quote the job shortly after receiving our request and did a great job helping us understand what would work best for the intricate, compact, well-lit space where errors or carelessness would be super noticeable. We felt at ease after meeting with Mike and believed that his team would do a fantastic job. Leading up to the scheduled painting date, Mike checked in to make sure the painter, Jose, and we had everything we needed to ensure we were prepared and that all would go smoothly. The job itself took 2 days and Mike stopped by mid-way through to make sure everything was going well. He also walked the job with us after it was complete to confirm that we were happy with the end results. His communication was so thorough and really made us feel certain that we had hired the right company. Jose did an incredible job with the painting itself - he is clearly a highly capable, detail-oriented, meticulous, but still efficient painter. He is a very nice man, extremely professional and took good care of our home while he was working here. A huge bonus was that Mike was able to squeeze us in before the holiday, which was so helpful given that we'll have guests. We've been putting off painting this room for an embarrassingly long time due to the level of detail required and our concern that it wouldn't come out well, but now wish we'd hired 360° Painting much sooner. Thank you to Mike and Jose for a wonderful experience - we couldn't possibly be more thrilled with how the room looks and can't wait to share it with our guests very soon. We will definitely use 360° again and will happily refer them to family, friends & neighbors. If you're looking for a highly competent painter and a fantastic customer experience, hire Mike and his team immediately!"

"Max and his assistant were an awesome team, efficient, personable and listened to what I wanted done on my job. They had accidentally left with one of my wall hooks and were quick to respond and found it in their tool box with a return the next day. Everything was done very well with a good cleanup."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

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.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.
