"I was very happy with the results. They were very professional, allowed me input on the stain color (which was matched incredibly well to my floors and existing trim), and cleaned up after every day (the windows took three partial days to stain & seal). They were very flexible to my schedule and made it very easy for me. To do the estimate and review the job they worked within my schedule versus making me change my schedule to match theirs. My windows look awesome now! I will definitely have them back and I would recommend them to anyone."

"Carlos and his crew paid tremendous attention to detail, meticulously preparing the house for paint and professionally working to complete the project in a thorough and timely way. Carlos provided oversight at every step and worked hard to make sure our communication was good as we had very specific ideas about how our 4-color scheme was carried out. As the project approached completion, Carlos made several circuits of the house with me to make certain that every last detail was addressed. I would definitely retain Carlos again and encourage others to engage him when planning future projects."

"We hired Rick and team to remodel two rooms in our house - the dining room and office. Full scope included wallpaper, wainscoting, painting and installing new light fixtures including wall sconces and pendant lights. Rick was prompt in his responses and got the project off the ground quickly - great communication throughout, started and ended work on time, and the result exceeded my expectations. I would definitely work with Rick and team again."

"We received the quote on 10/13/2014, but we're unable to start the work until 1/23/2015 due to our work and travel schedule. Huber still honored our quote from 3 months prior. He started on a Friday with one other crew member and carefully taped up plastic barriers to prevent the construction dust from spreading. My husband and I were extremely impressed with how much they accomplished on the first day. They laid the first coat of mudding and sanded the master bedroom and bath, they repaired the drywall in the dining and living room including other minor repairs that were not included in the quote without asking for more money. They also removed all the textured drywall from the family room ceiling. The second one day they installed the new drywall in the family room ceiling, including taping and mudding. They also fixed drywall taping in the kitChen ceiling without bumping up the quote. They were prompt each day until the repairs were complete. They were professional and respectful of our home and the quality of work was excellent. Should we have any other repairs, we would not hesitate to use them again!

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

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.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
