As a family owned Christian business since 1985 we have worked hard to build a solid reputation doing primarily roof repairs, tuck-pointing, skylights, flashing repair, basic roof maintience and inspections, gutter cleaning and gutter guards. I do the majority of work myself with my son and we never sub-contract. I have 40 years of experience and work is usually completed in one day. We take the time to show you exactly what we did by taking pictures of the entire process so that you know exactly what was done. Your satisfaction is our only concern.

Right Eye Painting is 7 years old, and has more than 20 years of experience behind the name. Locally owned and operated it was started by a single mom with a vision. We pride ourselves on the fact that we do things right the first time, and have built a solid reputation for being very detailed, clean, down to earth, flexible and respectful.

"We could not be happier. Jennifer and her business, Right Eye Painting, exceeded our expectations. We purchased a house and got quotes from several painting services. Right Eye's was not the cheapest, but Jennifer impressed us from the start with her professionalism and genuine caring. She was truly easy to work with. Jennifer did a detailed walk through with us to clearly determine what work was to be done and made some very helpful suggestions to ensure we would be pleased with the results and keep costs reasonable. When a problem came up with some preexisting construction work, Jennifer and her team leader, German, immediately called us, made time to meet with us in person and explain the problems discovered, and offered options to remediate and complete the job. We are very happy with the results. We got an exceptional job at a very fair price. My wife and I would absolutely recommend Right Eye Painting to anyone looking to upgrade their home."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it’s not always ideal. If the wallpaper is firmly adhered, has no bubbling or peeling, and isn’t textured, you can try to prime and paint over it. Use an oil-based primer to prevent the adhesive from bleeding through. However, if the paper is damaged or loose, removal is the better long-term solution.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.
