Q: What materials are best for walls?

• <div><p>Options include bricks, natural stone, and concrete blocks. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and budget.</p></div>

Q: Do you need extra adhesive for a peel-and-stick backsplash?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t need extra adhesive for peel-and-stick backsplash tile. The adhesive on the back of the tile sheets should do the trick. However, if you experience issues with the tile peeling or falling off, make sure the wall you&rsquo;re working on isn&rsquo;t textured, as that can prevent the materials from properly adhering.</p></div>

Q: Should I overlap seams when hanging wallpaper?

• <div><p>No. If you overlap seams, the wallpaper will not come out flat. In addition to possibly throwing off your pattern match between rolls, overlapping seems necessary. If wallpaper is properly acclimated, and temperature and moisture conditions are optimal during installation, there is no reason to fear shrinkage as it dries.</p></div>

"Where do I start.... I called Dave once we closed on our house. The entire Interior / trim needed wallpaper removal, and fresh paint. Luckily I had and empty house to work with for about a month. He made sure he squeezed me in before we moved, which was a huge plus. After discussing my budget, we came to an agreement on a price that was more than reasonable. He and his team worked day / night / weekends to make sure it was done on time. I took forever to pick out colors, etc... and he never was impatient with me. He finished 90% of it on time, the other part was because I couldn't make a descision on color for that area. He came after we moved in and knocked that out promptly. Any touch ups, fixes etc that were needed, he came and did with no issue. He even took the liberty of going out and purchasing all the new air vents, and other things we needed. He even came back and repainted the kitchen completely after we wanted to change the color. I would highly recomend his company, and will use him again. Stand up guy."

"I contacted World Painting after CertaPro dropped out of sight. We quickly got an appointment with them and they were ready to give us a bid that day. The price was reasonable and it included power washing, caulking, and painting our porch floor along with the entire house.
They were able to start within the week and kept us updated through out the project, letting us know what was the next step and when it would be completed. Customer service was excellent. When I had a question they called me back within the hour.
They did an amazing job and we have gotten tons of compliments on it. We would definitely use them again.
