They were polite, hard working guys. For the walls they used our preferred brand of paint. The ceiling was his choice of paint. Since it will never be a part of the house we will be able to paint we were not as choosy. They covered areas as they worked. We found a few paint spots but we would have done much worse so it was not a big concern. They touched up trim as a courtesy, that was unexpected and appreciated. They offered to help us put furniture back in the rooms but as we were going to clean the carpets we declined this great offer. When they left, everything they used on the job left with them including the empty paint cans. The remainder of paint was clearly marked for our future use as a touch up. We will be happy to recommend them. Our only negative was my husband asked if they removed the outlet covers or was it something we should do. he stated that his guys would do it. My husband said they were not so next time, anything we think should be removed ot taken down we will do or check it during the process.

Excellent! Our dog went thru screen door. We live on our patio. You might as well take the car away, it's like that. Not only did Danny come and remove screen door sooner than expected, it was returned in brand new condition sooner than expected. Customer service and quality at it's finest.

Encapsulated the room and skimmed over the old texture and repaired the cracked area the first day. Second day applied new knock down texture and cleaned up all material. The job looked great and would never know I had two skylights removed from that room!

I had A-ABF remove a sofa on a pretty short notice. This is the second time I have used them, and they are professional and on time. I wish I would have had more items to remove from my home, it seems the more you have, the better value it is.

"Got a quote from 5 star Yorkville and was going to have them do the work . Was going to by the paint myself since it was on sale at Sherwin Williams. I asked Mike how many gallons I would need and he told me I have to sign the contract first. It felt like he thought I was trying to pull a fast one on him, but that was not the case at all. If that’s how you do business then I will go elsewhere which I did. I had a new contractor the same day and you lost out on a job you would oh had. As far as I’m concerned this was a bad business decision since there are a lot of contractors looking for businesses"

"They were 1 of 3 quotes. We told them exactly what job we needed done. We dealt with Hector and Martha. They both reassured us that no problem they can get the job done. They quoted us (I have a contract) of $4,500. $3,500 is their labor 50 or and &1,000 would have been for materials. We were definitely going to go with better materials so we only really paid attention to their labor price of $3,500. They said the job would take 3 days and they told us they would start on a Monday. They postponed until Tuesday, they took a day off in the middle of the week for important business and they did not finish up until Sunday afternoon. My husband and I had been looking around every time they left and we were finding more and more things. Every day would bring it to their attention and she said they would fix. We did ask for two doors to be hung that was not on the original quote. At the end of everything she wanted $300 more than the original $3,500 quoted. I believe it was for the door hanging. I then proceeded to show her the hole in the arm of my brand new 2500 couch I showed her the paint that was all over the edge of my brand new carpet that was literally being installed the day they came to quote us I showed her there's no ventilation in the drop ceiling they never cut out vents the tracks in the ceilings do not meet the ceiling tiles do not fit light fixtures are falling the back door does not fit and they did not trim it out so we have gaps in our door and I believe the door frame is bent and useless the bathroom door does not shut due to it not fitting there is a cracked tile in the ceiling every piece of paneling has little holes or tears Nothing fits they painted the trim while on the walls so there's paint all over the paneling all over my floor the back door knob they have flipped upside down it does not lock will not work. There is broken trim they used my household vacuum to vacuum up their mess everyday where I had nails and screws coming out of the hoses ripping holes in my vacuum Some of the trim is not painted the same color as others They did not trim out the window There's not one job they were hired to do that was completely Done and done properly And all she told me the whole time was you owe me 300 I did the best I could or oh we don't do that you have to hire somebody else after they already tried doing the job and screwing it up. I'm sorry this was so much to message and the box was so small and I think this all came out thoroughly I really hope I didn't make a fool out of rambling. At the end I did pay the full $3,500 that was originally quoted even though I also had to replace paneling they broke for them just to turn around and reinstall it and break it again but they did get the full payment I did not renege on the contract. I forgot to add there were no holes or vents putting anything so I can't put outlet covers on I cannot put light switches on I can't do anything nothing is is ready"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on wallpaper type, wall condition, labor, and necessary repairs.
Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.
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.
White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.
Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.
