"We recently had our large front porch painted as well as the frames around several doors and the garage. Pablo’s assistant Eduardo did a fantastic job. Beautiful results and no mess! This is the seventh project that has been done by them. Cannot recommend more highly!"

"Easton Painting is extremely flexible with timing and prompt. The quote was reasonable and timely and 'no pressure' tactics. The finished job was excellent! To give you an idea - the job was the entire upstairs of a large old farmhouse with several years of neglect. Just as important as the finished work, the time they spent in our home was all I could ask of a professional. They were prompt, gave updates each day as to progress , and cleaned up after themselves each day! The entire process with Easton was a pleasure. We'll do again."

"Roberto and his wife were very friendly. Overall the project was completed to my satisfaction, however there were some minor issues of concern. My garage was left in a less than desirable state. The shelves sustained water damage from the saw and stain was splattered on the walls. The toilet was not reinstalled correctly which led to a leak. The ceiling in my furnace room sustained some damage due to this and Roberto never came back to address it as he'd promised."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Hanging wallpaper may seem simple, but in practice it requires significant planning and finesse to make it look professional. To start, you need to get an even application of wallpaper paste across all of your wallpaper, which requires experience and large pasting tables to get right. You also need to plan out your design and match it exactly so that you don’t have imperfections in the finished product. It’s often better to hire a professional wallpaper hanger who can get the job done properly for a clean, smooth finish.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

Yes, many installation and painting services include wall preparation, such as patching holes, smoothing surfaces, sanding, and priming. It is recommended to confirm the specific preparations included with your provider.
