Larry (owner) performed painting services at my home from a Angie's List deal I purchased way back in 2012.  He was kind enough to honor the coupon for the actual services purchased even though it had expired a long time ago.  Larry and his associate arrived on time as promised for each painting session they needed to do in order to complete the job.  Larry went the extra mile to caulk and tack up loose trim and moldings to ensure proper fit and finish.  They did a great job with clean-up and treated my property as their own.  From my experience, Larry and his associate were extremely professional, trustworthy and friendly to talk to.  I will definitely be using them for more upcoming jobs.

"It has been a pleasure to do business with Ahmed construction. They provide very fair price on bidding. The administrative project manager Mr Albert is a hard working guy. Him along with the Mr Judy did the decking and replaced some studs on an addition remodel project. I highly recommend Ahmed construction and I will hire them again for any future project"

This is the second job I have had Mighty Contractor do in our house.  Again, the job was done extremely well.  There was great attention to detail to the point of perfection.  They cleaned up every night so there was never a mess; they were hardworking and very courteous.  We were so pleased that we are going to have them come back and do some more interior and exterior work for us.  Mighty Contractor is now on our speed dial!!  Tyler and his crew are awesome.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.
