"John was very responsive and professional. He walked me through what would be necessary to complete the work and the associated costs. He showed up right on time and prepped the area with drop cloths to keep things clean. I was extremely impressed with the quality of work. My wallpaper was hung perfectly, likely the result of years of experience."

"We were interested in painting some rooms of an apartment which we were renting. We contacted Jason on very short notice. He was able to complete the job on our tight schedule. He was very helpful in picking shades of the colors that we wanted. He and his team did a great job."

"Chris, the owner, came out to give me an estimate before the work. He was on time, very professional, and knowledgeable about the work. He provided a written estimate for the work to be performed, and his estimate was on the high side of the 4 estimates I received. He was also able to give me an approximate amount for additional wood repair or replacement which I wanted done at the same time. Although I did not negotiate much with him on price because of his excellent reviews and the fact that although his price was the highest, it was still in the ballpark of the other estimates, and Chris was willing to match other service, warranty or additional work offered by the other service providers I received estimates from. The project went well. One to three men showed up on time over a few day period to power wash, scrape, repair or replace wood and prep for the job. They were all polite and professional and cleaned up at the end of each day. Chris was always available by phone or if requested in person to answer any questions. Chris worked with us in picking out the colors, and he is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the painting trade. A few extra items were required to be repaired which were discovered during progress of the job, and which was again handled in stride by Chris' team. The actual painting was again done on time and professionally. 2 to 4 men worked each day until the job was completed. Again the team was polite and professional. The job came out beautiful. I reviewed and inspected at the end of the job for any missed items or other issues and they were all addressed immediately. The final amount paid was as originally agreed to. You can trust this company to do professional work including in affluent areas where the level of service is expected to be done to a high standard. I have been in this house for 15 years and have had it painted every 5 years. This was by far the best job done compared with any of my past painters. I cannot give enough praise or say enough positive things about Chris and CQ painting. I also trust, based on his responsiveness and professionalism, that he will as stated, stand behind his work 100% if necessary. You cannot go wrong with this guy or his company and I will definitely use CQ Painting 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."

"When we accidentally ended up with a hole in one of our bedroom wall, Joe answered my call very quickly and came to our house to take a look at our wall the next day after work hours. Unfortunately we had some water damage behind that section due to a leak on our chimney, and joe put us in contact with someone who could help with that before he could repair our wall. Joe did the job in one day and we are very satisfied of the result and the cost was definitely reasonable according to us."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

While peel-and-stick wallpapers require no time to cure, the adhesives for other types of papers will take a day or two to dry and up to three weeks to fully cure. The differences are the type of paper, the type of adhesive, and the humidity and temperature in the space. 

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.

Putting up new wallpaper tends to take one to two days, depending on the size of the area, whether old paper needs to be removed, and if there is any damage to walls that needs to be smoothed over or fixed.

It’s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you’re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It’s usually a better idea to hire a professional wallpaper installer to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
