My other half and I have both been working in construction / home repair for the better part of 10 plus years separately and both decided it was time to work for ourselves. We are capable of fixing and installing potentially all of your wildest dreams. We do anything from interior and exterior painting, repair or install drywall, replace flooring, refinish cabinets or any other furniture you have that needs some updating. We also offer full cleaning services if you’re sick of doing your own chores and want someone else to do them for you. We are the ultimate dynamic duo because we’re extremely efficient, honest, and just downright talented. You won’t be spending insane amounts of money on labor from multiple people who don’t know what they’re doing. You’re paying for the quality of your home, your family’s well being, and we plan on keeping it that way. If you can dream it, we can make it happen. And if we can’t, we’ll help you get in contact with someone who can. We both love what we do, and we can assure you that you’re gonna love it too.

"I hired them to remove the old vanity and install a new one. After they completed the job, I had to hire a plumber to fix it (same day). There was a P-trap installed backwards, a pipe was too long, and there was no gasket on one pipe. owner will not respond. Also, we had a deal that they could take the current knobs in the bathroom off the cabinets if they would replace them. They took the knobs, but did not replace. So essentially, they stole the knobs. The clean up after the job was poor, there was a lack of professionalism, and they did not show up when they said they were going to on multiple occasions. It took six days to get the vanity replaced. Beware."

"I recently had pleasure of working with 2nd Street painting for an exterior pain job, and I could not be happier with my decision. After receiving several quotes from different companies, I chose 2nd Street painting, largely due to Nate's thoroughness and evident passion for his craft. From the start, he demonstrated deep knowledge of exterior painting and provided valuable insight that reassured me that I was in good hands. The team, consisting of Clayton and Josh, took the project to an entirely new level. Their attention to detail ensured that the final result was not only fabulous but also flawless. One challenge we faced was the need to replace several wooden boards on my home. While this task took Josh longer than initially anticipated, I was impressed by the professionalism and courtesy displayed by both Clayton and Josh throughout the process. They honored the original quote without adding any unexpected charges, which is a testament to their integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction. Communication was seamless from start to finish. The kept me informed at every step, which made the entire experience stress-free. Overall, I highly recommend 2nd Street painting for anyone looking for professional and respectful painting company. Their skills, dedication and customer service are truly commendable explanation!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You can paint over wallpaper, but it’s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it’s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.

For the most part, peel-and-stick wallpaper doesn't damage walls. However, there may be some cases when damage does occur. For example, if you try to rip the paper off the wall, you may pull away some paint at the same time.

The walls can also be damaged if they aren't prepared properly before you add the wallpaper. For example, if the coat of paint is too fresh when you put the wallpaper on the walls, it can peel away as you remove the paper. 

How long peel-and-stick wallpaper lasts depends on a few factors, including the conditions in the room, the quality of the wallpaper, and the wallpaper's application. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but you may decide to remove it sooner. Under ideal conditions, it can also last for much longer.

Factors that may shorten the lifespan of peel-and-stick wallpaper include high humidity in a room (such as a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper.

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.

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.
