"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."

"Very Good. Whole house's exterior and all trim was painted. The company was prompt and showed integrity. He showed up and finished when promised. The workmanship was outstanding. Paint was applied evenly and all masking was accurately done and removed. I highly recommend this company. ."

"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."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

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

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.
